That ball of bees is often a swarm

In spring a colony splits. A queen leaves with a crowd and hangs in a tree, on a fence, on a mailbox, while scouts look for a cavity. It looks like an emergency. It is often a colony in transit.

FDACS draws a line. A swarm is a short-lived cluster, a few hours to a few days, usually from fist to beach-ball size, with no comb, relatively docile. A colony has wax comb, pollen, stores, and brood. It will defend if you disturb it.

Stay back. Do not spray. Do not hose it. Do not hit it with a broom.

If the cluster is on your property and you want a keeper, start with the UF Honey Bee Lab beekeeper associations list and the UF/IFAS Extension Orange County backyard beekeeping page. If you need the state's path for removal or eradication, use FDACS. Those lists name the people who do that work.
