If you notice a big pile of bees sitting on a tree branch, your outdoor furniture, or your child’s playset, congratulations! You have found a swarm! Swarming bees are looking for a new place to call home. This happens when a colony gets to large for its hive. These bees are generally gentle and well behaved.
Occasionally bees will build a hive in your homes siding, garage, or somewhere else inconvenient! While this can be frustrating and sometimes scary, it is NOT a reason to call an exterminator.
Please call a local beekeeper to come and remove the bees. They will help the bees find a happy new home. If you need helping finding one, contact our staff at 770-394-3322 or info@dunwoodynature.org.
