Warmer weather and flowering trees, Signal a time for the swarming of bees. If you see an odd teardrop in the trees, PLEASE Don't exterminate! Call a keeper of bees. For more information about contacting a beekeeper who can safely catch the swarm, visit the Beekeepers Guild of the Eastern Shore which maintains a list of available beekeepers. No need to worry if you do see a swarm, the bees are usually not aggressive. The bees have filled up on honey before they left their old home. They are resting and waiting for scouts to find a new location that will please their Queen. Let them BEE! A beehive is hidden among the trees. A honey bee pollinates the dandelions.
