Beekeeper clears buzzing swarm at Mobile middle school

There was a buzz at a Mobile middle school this week after a swarm of bees turned up outside a classroom window.

The peaceful pollinators were simply looking for a new home, and the Environmental Studies Center stepped in to help. The center’s beekeeper arrived quickly and safely removed the swarm.

Photos of the removal were shared on the Environmental Studies Center’s social media. The episode offered a small lesson in how beekeepers handle the harmless seasonal swarms that show up around the Gulf Coast each spring.
