IF YOU SEE A SWARM OF BEES ON THE PLATFORM HANGING ABOVE, PLEASE CALL 202-255-4318

DC Beekeepers continually seek easy ways to safely capture swarms and reduce inconvenience to the community.

In 2023, DC Beekeepers will be placing "Russian Scion" "bivouac" sites (places where swarms may be attracted to land) in different locations as part of a regional experiment. You can learn more about these sites below!

More information on this experiment is below: please do not call the researcher's number if you see a swarm.
