Swarm Removal

Honeybee swarms that gather in unwanted places can seem alarming yet are usually non-aggressive. If you spot a large swarm on your property, contact our team for safe, effective swarm removal. Our licensed beekeepers have years of hands-on experience collecting swarms using gentle methods that keep bees calm.

We understand the intricacies of swarming behavior and carefully relocate colonies to avoid property damage or personal injury. Our priority is providing humane swarm extractions that ensure the well-being of these vital pollinators. After thorough removal, we work to identify the queen and establish hives in appropriate settings, often integrating them into our own apiaries. Trust our expertise for swift, ethical swarm interventions. Let us know if honeybees have settled somewhere inconvenient so that we can properly and humanely resolve the situation.
