Bee swarms should not be bothered

The Henderson County Beekeepers association is reminding people that if they see a bee swarm, they shouldn’t disturb it.
Honeybees are typically docile when they’re swarming. In a press release sent out by the HCBA, the organization notes that it keeps a list of beekeepers willing to come, collect and move the swarm to a protected apiary.
Find the swarm list, local honey sellers, and local beekeeping mentors at hcbeekeepers.org.
