wasp · 12-15 mm
Honey bee swarm
Fuzzy gold-brown, slower flight, swarms cluster on tree branches or external walls.
Behaviour
Swarms are temporary - a queen and workers looking for a permanent home. Established colonies build wax comb in wall cavities and roof voids.
How they get into Melbourne homes
Wall cavities, roof voids - finding existing comb means months-old colony.
