     At Beaupre, we believe the healthiest way to expand the apiary is though natural swarm collection. If you or someone you know finds a swarm of honey bees in your yard or garden, call us or email us as soon as possible, and we would be happy to collect the swarm free of charge. 215 880 3793(cell)
 
What does a swarm look like?
A swarm of honey bees looks like  a dark cloud in the sky before it settles. Upon finding a place to rest and regroup, the swarm will cluster into a mass of bees about the size of a small basketball. the bees are a brownish gold, or even black, and hold tight to the cluster, sending out a few field bees to look for a new permanent home. You may see some activity around the swarm, but usually bees in a swarm are very docile. Do not attempt to throw things at the swarm, or spray them with anythng, this will only upset them and stress them. You most likely need a beekeeper to remove them completly.
