Swarms
A bee swarm is the result of the natural response to the reproductive process in honey bees occurring in the wild and in managed hives. In Canberra, the majority of swarms occur during spring and summer when the weather is warm and nectar availability is high.
The sight of bees swarming can be unnerving to people yet a sting is unlikely as the swarming bees have gorged themselves on honey shortly before departing.
Contact a relevant member of the Canberra Region Beekeepers for assistance with catching a bee swarm or removal of an established colony.
