Swarm Removal and Swarm Management


We have members who will remove honey bee swarms from outside your home. If the bees are inside your walls this is called a cutout. A cutout is a specialized form of removal and there is usually a fee involved. We have listings for each type of removal. Look below for a listing for your area.


A swarm of bees sometimes frightens people, though the bees are usually not aggressive at this stage of their life cycle. This is principally due to the lack of brood (developing bees) to defend, and their interest in finding a new nesting location for their queen. Swarming is the natural means of reproduction of honey bee colonies.

Please note that wasps and hornets are often mistaken for bees

Our members do not exterminate/Remove any insect other than Honey bees.  Please refer to a professional exterminator if you have any insect in the wasp/hornet family. 

*****PLEASE IDENTIFY YOUR INSECT BEFORE YOU CALL*****

 

What Type of Bee/Wasp Problem Do You Have?

These photos and descriptions of different types of bees, wasps, and hornets will help you accurately relay your stinging insect problem to a beekeeper so that he/she may better assist you when you call.
