Thank you! Cheers!

Swarms are generally quite docile. Bees are not naturally aggressive but rather are defensive of their nest. Because a swarm has no nest, is effectively homeless, the bees are unlikely to want to sting anyone without provocation. If you know what you are doing and they are handled gently, they usually pose little risk.

Thank you for caring about bees. You have misinterpreted our post. Perhaps you should follow us and learn more about bees and what we do to save them. 🐝 We rescue over 150 colonies annually, many of which would otherwise be poisoned by pest controllers. 🐝 We have planted a pollinator-friendly forest of over 11,000 trees to support these bees and other pollinators. 🐝 We are fascinated by bees, and it is of utmost importance to us that we treat our bees gently and with the respect they deserve. 🐝 It’s easy to jump to conclusions, but a short video can never tell the whole story. 🐝 We prefer to 🐝 curious rather than judgemental 😁

Thin sugar syrup sprayed on a swarm acts as a distraction, slowing them down a little and stopping some of them from taking flight. This helps me to look for the queen. If the scouts are excited and the swarm is on the verge of taking off, the spray also buys me some extra time. Water can be used instead, but sugar syrup works better.

More than I can count - like most beekeepers 😁

😁👍

All the bees we rescue are moved into a new beehive box and relocated to our pollinator sanctuary. After a period of quarantine, during which they are monitored for pests and diseases, some will join our honey production colonies at one of our other apiary sites, and some will cared for by other beekeepers in our network.
