Etymology

The word 'swarming' originated from the Old English word 'sweorm,' meaning a mass of bees. Throughout history, the term has been used to describe the movement or gathering of insects or people in a large group. The concept of swarming reflects the natural behavior of certain species to come together in large numbers for various reasons, such as reproduction, migration, or seeking resources.
