Honeybee Swarms: What to Know and What to Do

Wednesday, May 6
6:30 PM
Hermann Foundation Meeting Room

Late spring on Cape Cod marks the beginning of honeybee swarming season. In this informative talk, beekeeper Miguel Zamora will explain why honeybees swarm and what residents should know if they encounter one. Participants will learn how to distinguish bees from wasps, gain an introduction to honeybee biology, and understand the purpose of swarming in the life of a hive. The program will also cover what to do—and what not to do—if you spot a swarm, how to report it, and why safely recovering swarms is important for both bees and beekeepers.

 

This program is designed for anyone curious about bees or interested in learning how to respond if they see a swarm in their neighborhood.
