· KRGV (NBC 5)
Recent rains in the Rio Grande Valley have created favorable conditions for honeybees, leading to increased swarming. A Brownsville resident, Tony Estrada, discovered a large hive on his roof and opted for relocation instead of extermination. He contacted the American Honey Bee Protection Agency in Combes, which specializes in relocating bees. Founder Walter Schumacher explained that the rain promotes flower growth, providing more nectar for bees. He cautioned homeowners to be careful while cleaning their yards, as they may encounter aggressive feral hives. Estrada's hive was successfully relocated, ensuring the bees have a new home.
