All over Perth people are reporting swarms of bees forming colonies in backyards on trees, letterboxes, cars… anywhere they can cling to while they find a new place to set up home.

Speaking with Karl Langdon, bee relocation expert and owner of Wild Honey WA, Carl Maxwell said it’s the swarming season but a swarm should always be treated seriously.

“We are being mislead by some people with a statement saying ‘wait for them to leave’

“We should not wait for them to leave. Bees will not vanish.”

Mr Maxwell warned if they aren’t relocated by a professional the bees will “relocate” to somewhere like the walls or roof of house.

“This makes removing them much harder of a job,” he said.
