Swarm Problems?

Find a Beekeeper to help

Found a swarm?

If you have a bee swarm in your backyard or local area please do not try and kill or interfere with the bees – you are likely to anger the bees and get stung. The bees will not harm you if they are left alone!

Remember the important role bees play in the pollination of agricultural crops, such as many of our nuts, fruit and vegetables.

Why not try to contact a beekeeper to have the swarm removed and placed in a beehive?

Contacting a beekeeper

Many amateur beekeepers will collect swarms in their local area as a community service. The beekeeper will need to know the exact location of the swarm, its size and how long it has been there. They will need to be able to get a beebox to the swarm and may leave the box there for a day or two. They will probably collect the bee box at night. Remember to check to see if they charge any fee to cover expenses.
