How to Identify a Bee Swarm
A honey bee swarm typically appears as a large, buzzing ball or cluster of bee hanging from a tree branch, fence post, or building. Honey bees in a swarm are generally non-aggressive and are focused on finding a new home.

Identifying a Colony
When a swarm settles down in one spot, often inside a structure that gives them shelter, they’ll begin building honey comb and raising a new generation of bees. At this point, the bees are an established colony, known to beekeepers as a “cutout”. Safely removing a colony takes specialized skills and equipment, and in most areas, beekeepers charge for this service.
If you report a cutout on Swarmed please expect that it may take as long as 24 hours for a beekeeper to contact you.
