Before Contacting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Swarms of bees are typically calm and will not bother you. A swarm will usually find a place to make its permanent home within 24-48 hours. They are fine to leave alone! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To report a swarm of bees, first, please confirm that these are in fact honeybees<\/a>. Honeybees are typically 1.25cm, are striped, and have hair on the body and the head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
