This page is set up to put people who want bees removed in contact with beekeepers who are willing to remove bees. 

Bees usually swarm in spring or early summer. Swarming is the way bees reproduce and make more colonies.

Often a swarm of bees will hang in a cluster before moving into their new home.

Bees that are hanging in a cluster are usually removed by a beekeeper. If the bees move into an enclosed space such as a wall cavity usually the most economical way to get rid of the bees is to poison them.

There is usually a charge for swarm removal things that beekeepers need to know are

How accessible is the swarm?
How long has the swarm been there?
The location of the swarm?
Are the bees getting into the house yet?
Please note there may be over 40,000 bees in a large colony

Below is a list of beekeepers prepared to deal with swarms of bees
