This year, however, reports of swarms have arrived noticeably earlier in many regions, catching residents by surprise. While it can be tempting to search for bee extermination services the moment a cluster appears, understanding why swarms occur, and how to respond appropriately, can help protect both your family and these vital pollinators.
