Before Contacting
Swarms of bees are typically calm and will not bother you. A swarm will usually find a place to make its permanent home within 24-48 hours. They are fine to leave alone!
To report a swarm of bees, first, please confirm that these are in fact honeybees. Honeybees are typically 1.25cm, are striped, and have hair on the body and the head.
