Inside your walls, under your deck, in your trees, old tires in the backyard?

Have a few bees that aren’t yours? Or see a swarm in a tree? Call us.
Swarm of bees
Do you have a swarm of bees near to or on your property? Do you wonder what these bees are up to? The bees are just looking for a home. Swarming is a natural part of the honey bee life cycle. Bees are very important members of our ecosystem, and they are vital to agricultural, so we want to promote their populations – but bees aren't much help to farmers and beekeepers when they have made a home in a roof or on a utility pole.
Bee Ready
If you would like to talk with someone about relocating the bees or have discovered that bees have built a nest in an unwanted location, such as inside a wall, in the rafters or inside a chimney, the beekeepers on this list have agreed to help you relocate them. There is no set fee structure. Many beekeepers will remove a swarm of bees at no or little charge; some will ask for a donation or a minimum reimbursement to assist with their fuel costs. If the bees are located at a site where more elaborate equipment is needed to reach them, or enclosed in walls or other structures, you can expect a fee. Some beekeepers are licensed contractors and some work with contractors. You may need to have your own contractor repair the wall or any structural components damaged in the removal process.

If possible, take a phone photo and text it to the beekeeper contact for your county.
Are you the owner of the property where the bees are located? If not, do you have the phone contact of the owner?
Is location easily accessible; is there drive-up access?
