## 🌼 What You Should Do Instead

### 1. **Stay Calm and Keep Your Distance**

Bees in a swarm are usually docile, but if you get too close, they might feel threatened. Observe from a safe distance and avoid loud noises or sudden movements.

### 2. **Do Not Disturb or Spray Them**

Avoid spraying water, insecticides, or trying to remove the swarm yourself. This stresses the bees and can lead to aggressive behavior.

### 3. **Contact a Local Beekeeper or Bee Rescue Group**

Experienced beekeepers know how to safely relocate bee swarms. Many communities have organizations dedicated to rescuing and relocating bees without harming them.
