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.
