When do bees swarm?

Answer 1

Bees generally swarm during the spring or early summer when the colony's population increases, and the hive becomes overcrowded, prompting a new queen and a portion of the worker bees to leave and establish a new colony.

Answer 2

Bees swarm in the spring months or early summer, usually between April and July. This is their instinctive way of reproducing and creating new colonies. Swarming typically occurs when the hive becomes overcrowded and the queen bee leaves with a portion of the worker bees to find a new location to establish a new hive.

Answer 3

Bees swarm when the hive becomes overcrowded. When this happens, the queen bee and a large group of worker bees will leave the hive and search for a new home. This process, known as swarming, usually occurs in the spring or summer when the hive is at its most populous.
