Honey Bee Removal/Rescue Services:
Our swarm list is a courtesy to both  beekeepers and the general public, and is maintained on an
"as-we-can" basis. If you are a beekeeper who likes to catch swarms, please send us an email with
your BEST contact phone number (please use formatting as shown below) and range of
operation (within 20 minutes of your daytime location).  We will place this information on this
web page in the format shown below.  If your name is already on this page, and would like us to
remove it, please email us.  

Do you rescue (live capture) Bumble nests? We have a list just for you!
