If we find a swarm of bees on your property or in a public area, avoid disturbing the swarm and call Animal Species Control.
Bee colonies have only one queen bee. Queens are easy to recognize by their large abdomen and the retinue of workers that follow and surround her.
If a second queen appears in the colony, workers will force one queen out of the hive or both queens will fight until only one queen prevails.
A swarm of bees is just the expelled queen and some of her workers looking for a new home. The bees together with the queen choose a site, usually a branch of a tree, the side of a building, or as in today’s case where the bees intervened, a new home.

Animal Species Controlwill collect the swarm and give it a new home in one of their hives.
On other occasions, the site chosen for the new hive may be a facade; in this case, the swarm was already installed and had already made its hive. Control de Especies, SL moved the entire hive to the field, giving it a second life, after deworming for varroa.
