(WTXL) — With spring fast approaching, honeybee swarming-season is on its way.
Swarming happens when bee colonies outgrow their current homes and some migrate to create a new colony of their own.
South Georgia sees a large population of bees.
Local beekeeper Dale Ritcher says to not panic and call the professionals when you see a swarm.
In Georgia, honeybees pollinate apples, blueberries, cucumbers and watermelon.
Of course, they produce that sweet Georgia honey.
