The following beekeepers are willing to respond to calls about honey bee swarms in various locations in Alamance County.

They are willing to help identify these “non-honey bee” insects and can usually do it over the telephone based on a good description of the insects.

Things a swarm removal collector should ask!

1. Are they honey bees?
2. When were they noticed?
3. What has been done?
4. Has any pesticide been used?
5. Has anyone else been called?
6. Has anyone been stung? Might indicate an aggressive (dry) swarm.
7. How large is the cluster/swarm? Basketball or softball size?
8. Where is it, specifically?
9. How high up are they?
10. Do you plan to call someone else?
11. Do we have permission to collect the bees?
12. Is this your property? Give me specific directions to get to the swarm site.

Inquiries or questions are welcome.
