Bee Swarm Safety Tips

As we move into warmer weather, it's a good time to stay aware of your surroundings outdoors. Knowing what to do if you come across a swarm of bees can help keep you safe. Check out these quick tips:

  • Move Away Quickly: Don't stop until you're safe.
  • Cover Your Face: Protect eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Don't Swat: It makes them more aggressive.
  • Find Shelter: Get indoors or into a closed car. Once safe, remove stingers by scraping sideways. DO NOT squeeze!
  • Seek Medical Attention: Call 911 for medical help if someone has been stung multiple times or is having a severe reaction.
