Bee Swarm Sydney

Bee Swarm Sydney – When you find bees swarming it can be a scary sight, more so when bees are trying to come inside.

Bees can enter homes through vents, chimneys, doors, gaps under the door or through windows.

It is important to mention that bee allergies can be life threatening. It is important to take safety measures to protect yourself around a swarm.

Swarming is a natural part of a bees reproductive life. Swarms often occur from September through to December.

A rise in temperature, ab abundance of nectar and pollen stimulate the colony to begin reproduction.

When the size of a bee colony increases overcrowding occurs, thus forcing the bees to search for a new home.

Bees will often emerge from their hives and begin to swarm on warm days between 11am -2pm.

A swarm may be visible between 1-2 hours and in some cases can linger for a few days.

Bee swarms are not usually aggressive, however if the swarm is provoked or aggravated they will become defensive.

The longer a swarm is present the more defensive they will become.

Children and pets should be kept inside until the flight of bees have clustered onto a bush or tree
Keep children and pets away from the swarm
Always wear shoes outside in case bees have nested on the ground
Do not hose, poke or throw stones at the swarm
Interfering with the swarm will make it more difficult for a licensed pest control company to deal with.
