World Bee Day 2025

Why You Might See Bees Swarming In Spring




Bees and other pollinators, such as butterflies, bats and hummingbirds, are increasingly threatened by human activities.

Pollination is, however, a fundamental process for the survival of our ecosystems. Nearly 90% of the world's wild flowering plant species depend, entirely or at least in part, on animal pollination, along with over 75% of the world's food crops and 35% of global agricultural land. Pollinators not only contribute directly to food security, but are also essential for the conservation of biodiversity.

To raise public awareness of the importance of pollinators, the threats they face and their contribution to sustainable development, the UN has designated May 20 as World Bee Day.

The aim is to strengthen measures to protect bees and other pollinators, which would significantly contribute to solving global food supply problems and eliminating hunger in developing countries.In 2024, beekeepers across the U.S. lost 62% of their bees, the most extensive loss recorded. With spring comes new hope for rebuilding that population and it begins with something that might be scary to stumble upon, bee swarms. So we asked the experts at Southeast Bee Removal in Georgia why swarms are more prevalent in spring and why you shouldn’t panic if you see one.
