Why Do Bees Swarm

Why Do Bees Swarm? Swarming is the reproduction of a honey bee colony, and it occurs when an existing colony subdivides into two colonies. The colony simply outgrows its current home. Swarming is essential for the bees' survival. If the hive becomes overcrowded, resources will be scarce and the colony's health will begin to decline. Beekeepers can assist with bee swarm removal, some beekeepers use bee swarm traps to make collecting swarms a lot easier.
