Can anybody explain why there's a fuckton of honeybees on

CUTE

Do you think they would have the queen out in the open?

Yes, if they are looking for a new place to establish a hive.

They have scouts going out and reporting back. When they find someplace suitable they will move on.

Someone splashed honey on the wall.

That's $150-$200 worth of bees if the queen is there (she is). I caught 4 swarms this spring.

Huh. Are you saying you can help them out? Good bees shouldn't just go to waste.

>>2386814
There's nowhere for them to hide her.

this

they swarm outside of their hive when they no longer have one, which may mean the queen left/died. don't bother them because they won't bother you

Call a local bee keeper and they will likely catch them for free.

Yes, they have a queen. When honeybees "swarm" in spring it is when a portion of the colony leaves to make a new nest. The old hive keeps the eggs and honey in order to raise a new queen while the old queen takes a large number of healthy workers to build a new one.

You/company won't have to hire an exterminator if you get a bee keeper to come over.

I got bees, but I want bees

I called a bunch of beekeepers and none are interested. I'm thinking I might catch them myself.

Is it generally legal to be a beekeepers within city limits?
