(40,386 posts)1. Bees are gonna swarm unless they are managed
As a former beekeeper and official swarm collector, I can say the swarm, with the proven queen, is good for five gallons of honey.
A swarm of bees in May is worth a load of hay,
A swarm of bees in June is worth a silver spoon,
A swarm of bees in July isnt worth a fly.

But it seems like they did it for show with their designer hives..typical of everything they touch
