Honeybee swarms in Honolulu are beneficial, experts say.

While the rise of wild, swarming honeybees raises concerns for some, researchers view it as a positive environmental indicator. Jason Morrow quickly extracts honeycomb from a building, using smoke to calm the bees. He collects the waxy comb, sampling the honey that reflects the local flora, including kiawe and haole koa trees. Morrow notes that the bees forage within a 2 to 3-mile radius, contributing to the exceptional quality of the honey in the area.
