Swarm Removal
Honey Bee Swarm Removal
Have a swarm of bees on your property? Don't panic — and don't spray them. Our trained beekeepers will come relocate them safely, at no charge.
What Does a Swarm Look Like?
A honey bee swarm is a large cluster of bees — often the size of a football or basketball — hanging from a tree branch, fence post, mailbox, or the side of a building. They're usually buzzing but calm.
Swarming is a natural part of how honey bee colonies reproduce. The bees are looking for a new home and are typically very gentle during this process because they have no hive to defend.
Not sure if they're honey bees? Contact us with a photo and we'll help you identify them. We only handle honey bees — not wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets.
Stay Calm & Keep Your Distance
Honey bee swarms are not aggressive. Keep children, pets, and foot traffic at least 15–20 feet away. Don't throw things at them or spray them with water or chemicals.
Take a Photo If You Can
A photo helps us confirm they're honey bees (and not wasps or hornets) and gives our beekeeper an idea of the size and accessibility before they head out.
Contact Us Right Away
Use the form below or call us. Give us your address, a description of where the swarm is (height off the ground, on a branch vs. a structure, etc.), and how long it's been there. Attach your photo if possible.
We Send a Beekeeper — Usually Within Hours
We'll alert our network of trained swarm catchers. The first available member will contact you directly, confirm the swarm is still there, and come remove it — completely free of charge. The bees are relocated to a managed hive where they'll thrive.
