Do you have unwanted honey bees swarming in your yard or house?
Please do not kill them! They just need a different location. Help us help honey bees by getting them out of your problem area and putting them back to work producing honey in a safe location!
Swarms are usually removed for free; however, removal of established colonies from within structures normally requires a fee.
Follow these links to an explanation of swarm removals or structure removals
