Quick Answer: A few bees hovering in one spot near your roof are likely scout bees. They are searching for a place to build a hive. This is an early warning sign that a colony may move in soon.
What You’re Seeing
Scout bees move slowly and repeatedly inspect the same area, often near eaves, vents, or small cracks.
Why It’s Happening
During spring in San Diego, bee colonies split and search for new homes. Your house can be a perfect candidate.
What To Do
- Watch if activity increases over a few days
- Take note of entry points
- Do not disturb the bees
Why Acting Early Matters
Stopping bees before a hive forms is much easier than removing an established colony inside a structure.
