Swarm season happens fast — and for new beekeepers, it can feel overwhelming if no one explains what’s actually happening. A swarm forms when a colony is healthy, crowded, and ready to reproduce. The old queen leaves with thousands of workers while a new queen is raised behind her. When a swarm lands, they’re temporary. They’re full of honey. They’re calm.
