Swarms of bees have appeared in residential areas of Joinville, northern Santa Catarina, attracting residents' attention. Recently, a swarm was found inside a bathroom in the Costa e Silva neighborhood, and another appeared in a playground of a condominium in Anita Garibaldi. Climate changes may be linked to this phenomenon.

According to beekeeper Celso Brasil from SOS Abelhas Joinville, swarming usually occurs from mid-September to October, which is their reproduction period. "From October to December is the reproduction season, so swarming is normal then. However, it is unusual now because it is winter," he explained.
