Puget Sound Beekeepers Association

PSBA organizes a list of volunteer beekeepers that willing to remove honey bee swarms. Please note: while typical honey bee swarm reduction is free, elimination of other stinging bugs or cutouts frequently incurs a charge for the service mainly because are not standard honey-bee swarms. These removals need unique equipment and abilities provided by some individuals and professionals on the swarm number. Inquire about the fee.

So what does a honey-bee swarm appear to be?

Honey bees swarms may be down low on a bush or high up on a tree limb. There'll never be a built nest surrounding them, but instead a cluster of bees holding from a limb, branch or other object.

Are Swarms Dangerous?

Honey bee swarms are not dangerous, but unless you're a skilled beekeeper, please try not to try to disturb/displace the swarm. These bees are merely undergoing finding a unique home and beekeeper you call can give them just that, a nice hive in an effective area!

Please do not spray the bees w/ pesticides, insecticides and on occasion even water! Watch for a beekeeper to come and simply take them away. They're usually mild insects being a huge advantage into flowers we've inside our gardens and the foods we consume! The actual only real time you’ll encounter an angry bee (or other insect/animal for example) is when you disturb it.
