Relax.. No need to panic. Bee swarms are generally on-aggressive since they do not have a home to defend.
DO NOT spray with bug killer, water, or anything else.
DO NOT try to handle the swarm yourself. Proper safety equipment should be worn whenever possible.
DO NOT eat bananas around the swarm. Bees release a pheromone that smells much like bananas when they feel threatened. This pheromone triggers other bees to attack.
If you have spot a bee swarm please contact one of your
local beekeepers. There are times when
the beekeeper is unavailable at the time of swarming and will pass it on to
other swarm CMCBA swarm catchers.
IMPORTANT: Please text and/or leave a detailed message or including
*Your name/Contact #
*location of swarm
*date/time
*How long the swarm has been present.
*Size & Activity of swarm
Pictures are very helpful!
