A family in Northwest Las Vegas found themselves under siege as thousands of honeybees attempted to colonize their home. Kimberly Hoffman and her family were enjoying a typical weekend when an immense swarm descended, aiming to establish a hive within a small opening in their roof. Acting swiftly to protect her loved ones and pets, Hoffman contacted a beekeeper who arrived at midnight to address the situation. The expert advised turning off the lights and utilized a red light, noting that bees are more docile during nighttime hours.
Beekeeper Brian Cheek explained that such swarms are common during this season as bees search for new habitats. He recommended homeowners inspect potential nesting spots, like valve boxes, and seal any openings to deter bee colonization. Cheek emphasized the importance of not agitating swarms, as aggressive actions can provoke defensive behavior. Instead, he advised contacting professionals to handle bee-related issues safely.
