March, April, and sometimes in May.  Varying with the weather.  Mostly in April.

I think JV is trying to tell you is that we need to know your location in order to be able to answer that question. Go into Preferences and update location. It makes a big difference as to what is the best answer.

When do bees swarm in the 33rd paralell
Which one? North or South?

Bees will start to swarm in Northern Arkansas between the 3rd week in March and the second week in April, in an average year.  The blooming of the nectar sources will be the main trigger.  The Redbud Tree is the trigger in my area.
