A honey bee swarm is a natural way a colony reproduces. When a hive becomes over-crowded, the old queen leaves the colony with thousands of worker bees to try and find a new place to live.
The bees will arrive as a large cloud of thousands of bees, before gathering temporarily on a tree, branch, fence or other structure while scout bees search for a suitable new nesting site.
Although a swarm can look dramatic, honey bees in this stage are usually calm and focused on protecting their queen.

If you see a swarm of bees in your garden, stay calm and retreat to a safe distance. You are likely to hear them first, or see a big cloud of bees flying overhead.
Although a swarm can look alarming, the bees are usually very gentle as they are focused on finding a new home. Avoid disturbing the bees and give me a call as soon as possible.
