Safety Precautions When in Bee Areas

• Listen for the hum of an active bee colony.
• Do not disturb a swarm of bees.
• Never approach an occupied nest of bees.
• Never climb a tree, or kick a log or stump until you check to see if bees are flying in and out.
• Never throw rocks or other items at a known or suspected nest of bees.
• Be alert for bees that are acting strangely. Quite often bees will display some preliminary defensive behavior before going into a full-fledged attack.
