Bee relocation
Titusville happens many times in the year and usually happens in groups, I mean
groups of calls. I think it is because the flowers emerge according to their
season and varieties and suddenly the honeybees which are growing in nature
unobserved outgrow their locations. When a bee colony outgrows its location it
raises another Queen and that Queen takes over the job of raising the bee larva
in that colony. The old queen gathers up all the fresh young honeybees and off
she goes to start over again. That is called a swarm.
Bee relocation Titusvillefrom trees is one of our favorite things to do. Those swarms I was just talking
about land on trees. Sometimes they leave and sometimes they stay. When people
call we usually say wait 3 days. This is
especially good advice if the bees are found grouped together in ball on a
branch under 10 feet which is often the case. As a beekeeper and a relocation
specialist I can tell you that a ball of bees found that low will often move on
within a few days because most honeybees will not feel comfortable that close
to the ground. Africanized honeybees are the exception as their wild nature
makes them less picky than there domesticated European cousins. They will just
group together, and let the water from the rain and the storms roll off their backs. Bee
relocation Titusville from a tree is especially rewarding when we can cut the
branch and re-home the entire swarm of bees back into a tree on our own farm.
It's nice to know these bees will continue to work hard for us in nature.
