Swarm season is just around the corner. Typically honey bee hives swarm in May but you may see swarms as early as April depending on the weather. Don't be scared. the bees are just looking for a new home and will usually move on within 24 hours. Swarms are very docile. Call us if you would like a beekeeper to come and remove the hive and relocate it to a safe location.
