Warmer temperatures bring earlier bee season in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – With spring just a few weeks away, Las Vegas is starting to see warmer weather, flowers in full bloom, and, of course, swarms of bees. 8 News Now broke down the seasonal uptick many are experiencing across the valley. It's all the buzz this time of year; more bees out and about as we inch closer to warmer seasons. 'This is typical,' Fidel from Bee Master of Las Vegas said. 'The bees are moving.' The Bee Master of Las Vegas team is busier than ever tending to hives across the valley, including one outside the 8 News Now building. 'This is a new swarm that went in and took over the tree trunk,' Fidel explained, referencing the hive. 'And they are getting ready to build their hive.' He told 8 News Now more swarms pop up as the weather gets warmer. Since Las Vegas has seen slightly warmer temperatures recently, what's referred to as 'swarming season' started early. Extreme heat is buzzkill for bees in southern Nevada; learn how to save them and your garden As larger hives get overcrowded, bees will split off and make new, smaller hives in places like the tree right outside 8 News Now. 'In this case we are going to remove a beehive from a tree,' Fidel said of our station's case. 'And they're inside a tree trunk.' The professional removal is important to keep people in populated areas safe. 'During this time they're not as aggressive,' Fidel said. 'But if you mess with them or agitate them they will defend themselves and they will attack.' He told 8 News Now many of the bees seen in Las Vegas in the spring are a hybrid between European and Africanized. Bees in Las Vegas and around the world are crucial to food production; a third of it depends on the insect pollination. Fidel also said anyone who comes across a hive should avoid it, but if a swarm attacks, he recommends running into a building or vehicle as quickly as possible and closing the door. He said a swarm of bees will calm down once they no longer feel threatened, but this can take up to an hour. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
