Question

What is swarming?

Answer 1

Swarming:

1. It is a process by which a queen leaves the old hive along with approximately one-half of the workers in that colony and takes a new shelter.
2. Swarming creates a vulnerable time in the life of every honey bee.
3. All bees tend to swarm near their hives, so if a swarm is visible, a nest is present nearby.
