Increase in bee swarms: 100,000 bees discovered in residence and church

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Homeowners should check their trash cans and compost bins, as bees may be nesting inside. Experts indicate that the warm spring has led to an increase in swarming, with three cycles reported this year. David Glover, known as the Bartlett Bee Whisperer, has been busy relocating colonies from various locations, including homes and garbage cans. “Swarms are seeking new homes, whether in trees, houses, or Jacuzzis,” Glover noted, mentioning that he has received calls about bees in trash cans for the first time in five years.
