In March, we started a survey asking people to report the first swarms they saw in each county this year. Twenty-four swarms were reported this year compared to forty-four when we did the same survey last year. Thank you to the all those who submitted data.
The map shows the week in which the first swarm was reported for each county. The table shows the number of swarms reported for each county and additional information for those county reporting multiple first swarms.
