Before the summer season, the bee community often gets too big and it gets crowded at home in the hive.
This helps the bees to start looking for new habitats.
Want to save bees
If a swarm settles somewhere around the house plot, it is perhaps most common to want help with pest control.
But the goal of the new collaboration and that more people will be referred to the hotline is that more bees will be saved.
Where you get to talk to a beekeeper who can pick up and save the bee heat.
- Bee sticks, everyone knows that, but swarms are very kind.
They have no home, no honey and no queen - so they have nothing to defend.
Therefore, there is nothing you need to be afraid of, says Kristine Andersson, beekeeper.
Must be done on time
The swarm usually sits in a clump for a limited time before it settles and therefore it is good to get help before they have time to crawl into, for example, a facade or chimney, says Kristine Andersson.
If the swarm has time to settle, it will not be possible to save them anymore, but then you have to destroy the nest instead.
