Bee Swarms

If you locate a swarm of bees on your property and would like someone to remove it, please submit this form. If we cannot remove it we know many other organizations and people that would be willing to assist at no cost. We will NOT be killing the bees as we will be adding them to an apiary. We usually respond via phone call usually within 10 minutes.

29 Apr 2025- Checked both hives. Located 1 hive beetle and eradicated it. Installed hive beetle deterrents. Bees are increasing their activity in upper level frames. May 5th we will stop feeding them as there are plenty of food sources out and the bees are established well.
