Many of the hives of honeybees that were removed from residences or collected as swarms and nursed to strength have been moved up to full 10-frame commercial-sized boxes. They are now re-orienting to a new field and feasting on some of the best forage that can be provided – land used as an organic farm, and the surrounding fields chock-full of blooming wildflowers.
We are looking forward to their continued growth and benefits of their pollination of the organic crops – that make it to our dinner tables and restaurants here in the Dallas metroplex.
With our cool spring weather, the swarm season this years seems to be a long one. Calls continue to come in consistently with new swarms arriving in residential areas of the city. Some originate from hives that already live in the walls or eves of homes or building structures – and some emit from natural / greenbelt areas. Either way – we recommend that you call a beekeeper to perform the honeybee recovery.
