I finally caught a swarm that I know is not from a beekeeper’s yard. Atleast not directly. I picked this baby up and noticed a booming colony in the tree overhead about 40 feet up. The queen was in a little clump of bees on the grass across the sidewalk from the cluster. I don’t think she could fly. The homeowner told me that the swarm was on the sidewalk at first, but they walked up into a small bush by the time I got there. It is still early for swarms around here (or so I’ve been told). I left a bait hive at the location just in case another swarm decides to leave. I can’t wait to measure the brood cell size. Another bait hive of mine has a couple dozen scouts checking it out. It’s getting pretty exciting over here in PA.
Berks County PA Honey Bee Removal 19601 
We don’t have this situation quite yet but there are a heck of a lot of honeybees all buzzing around the ground in a 10 ft by 8 ft area of a naturalized area in a local park. No one has done any spraying yet. But they are getting pretty noisy. There are thousands. I was wondering, can I do anything or call anyone so these bees can find a home? They don’t seem to be coming or going anywhere. Just all close to the ground, huge numbers. They don’t seem to be collecting honey. This has been going on a couple of weeks. I’m afraid someone will go over there and spray and kill them all. Anything or anyone I can call or do? Thanks.
