Swarm or established colony? A cluster hanging in the open may be a swarm resting while scout bees search for a home. Steady traffic through the same opening in a wall, soffit, shed, or boat can point to a colony living inside.

Either way, keep your distance, don’t spray the bees or seal the entrance, and take one zoomed-in photo plus one wide photo showing the access area. I handle live honeybee relocation in St. Lucie and Martin counties: https://beetozapiary.com/bee-removal

Relocated a honeybee colony hive in a bird house from the community to the apiary. The home owner didn’t want to take any chances with the kids playing nearby.

Will put them into a proper bee box tomorrow.

Everyone is happy and safe…including the bees.

Imagine!

Fall can bring another nectar flow in parts of Florida. In South Florida, bees may work Brazilian pepper where it already grows, even though it is an invasive plant. A bloom on the calendar does not guarantee nectar is reaching the hive.

I look for fresh, shiny nectar in open cells, expanding stores, and changes in colony weight before calling it a flow. What is blooming around you right now?

A brood frame gives several clues at once. Fresh eggs and young larvae show recent brood production. Pollen and nectar around the brood help support developing bees. Open cells can give the queen room to keep laying.

I look at the whole colony—not one frame—before drawing conclusions. What part of an inspection would you like explained next?
