Story summary
- Beekeeper Al Fine cleared a honeybee swarm from the scaffolding at Pittsburgh’s Acrisure Stadium before the Morgan Wallen concerts.
- The swarm weighed 4 to 5 pounds and held about 12,000 to 15,000 bees, which were put in a temporary nuc box before moving to equipment at Fine’s property.
- Penn State Extension notes that swarming occurs when a queen and about half the workers leave the hive to start a nest.
