Small swarm removal off a mango tree this afternoon. The ladies are taking to the box quickly so most likely the old queen is in here 🐝👑🐝 _ There are a few reasons why honey bees swarm, but generally, it is because of a need for more space and to reproduce. Swarms are the way bees reproduce at the colony level. When all necessary preparations and collective hive wisdom is ready, the old queen leaves with about half of the bees to find a new home. _ #liveremoval #swarmrelocation #honeybees #bees #wildbees #beeswarm #hivemind #hivewisdom #savethebees #beehivesmatter #beekeeping #beekeepers #apiculture #certifiedbeekeepers https://www.instagram.com/p/B0bsRzggZqA/?igshid=11qcrepp3aj1h
