Recent rainfall, he said, has been a factor that causes swarms to “fuss”, and at the same time causes fear among people when they realize that there are bees near their home.

He clarified that before so much report, the corporation makes a selection in which all those cases that could be an imminent risk for the population, such as honeycombs that are near a school or a park, are treated.

Peinado Beltrán commented that at least 25% of the reports are considered as risk, so the intervention of smoker is required.

In cases where the intervention of firefighters does not merit, he said, the recommendation is given to the public so that they do not disturb the bees, which will eventually be withdrawn from one moment to another.
