SWARM COLLECTION LIST


TYPICAL SWARM

ATTENTION NON BEEKEEPERS

If you look out your window and see a huge cloud of honeybees settling on a limb or other structure near your home or find a "cluster" of bees hanging from a tree or other structure on your property we have many bee keepers who will be glad to come out and try to catch the swarm and relocate them.  Please do not call an exterminator or spray the swarm with an insecticide unless it is a last resort. 

     For further information please contact either of the following beekeepers.
