    the bees are a buzzin.....

    March starts the season for bees.

    Their numbers explode in anticipation of wildflowers,honey and nectar gathering to build their colonies.Within a couple of weeks the swarm season begins. Bees outgrow their hive and split taking the queen with them.

    A swarm looks like a big cluster of bees in a tree ,rafters,bushes, where ever they land. When speaking of swarm size,common measures are football size and basket ball size.

    At this time of yr. it can bee helpful to have a beekeepers phone number on hand...as they could come and get the swarm or if a extraction from a building is necessary.

    Swarming is a natural process in the bee world. So you might say why not leave them bee. With the declining numbers of bees. responsible backyard beekeepers are providing hives for these bees. With the advent of swarming bees they could choose a bad place to set up their colony and a exterminator could bee called in. The Sonoma county beekeeping association advocates hiving these bees and has a extensive list of beekeepers in your area.were ready and able this time of year.
