At the end of a hot day, bees cluster to regulate the temperature inside the hive.

Various techniques are used to recover swarms depending on where they have settled. Under roof tiles, a vacuum cleaner fitted with a box is often the best solution. 
When the swarm is accessible, a hive need merely be placed below it, and then the swarm made to fall into the box. These operations require a level head, a steady hand, and an excellent understanding of bees.

In May, a swarm 
has formed on the branch 
of an olive tree. 
The queen has just left 
her beehive with half 
the colony. On the branch, 
she is waiting for 
the return of her scout 
workers when they have 
found a location 
suitable for a new colony 
to settle.

A swarm has settled on 
a pine tree near Nimes, 
France, and has started 
building combs. 
It was lucky to survive 
a mild winter. 
Located ina private garden, 
this swarm has grown 
into a full beehive.

Charles, apiculturist and swarm hunter climbs on a tall oak as bees form a swarm around their queen to protect her. Loaded will honey for the trip, they are not dangerous. The beekeeper focuses on the queen. If he does not catch her, the bees will escape the basket to rejoin her and the operation will have been useless.

The scout bees have 
managed to convince 
the bees of the swarm 
of the comfort and quality 
of the new accommodations 
they have located. 
The queen takes off 
for the new site, 
followed by the swarm, 
made up of bees 
of all ages and roles, 
as well as a few drones.

In Collias in the Gard, a swarm lands on the cliff near the bank of the River Gardon. Swarming starts between April and May, when the abundance of food has strengthened the hive, which thus has numerous brood cells and queen cells.
