Do you have a Honey Bee Swarm?
|
Honey Bee Swarm Contact information:
- This information is compiled for the recapture of Honey Bees Only, not other bees or insects.
- Volunteers perform swarm captures and so if the job is too difficult or they feel they cannot do it safely, they have the right to turn down any job.
- Most volunteers will not collect Honey Bee swarms from inside buildings and walls.
- Honey Bee Swarms are Honey Bees that attach themselves into a hanging ball of bees on a tree branch, fence post, side or eaves of a building or other object. You will see bees with no covering whatsoever.
- Hives on the other hand, are established Honey Bee colonies that reside inside tree hollows, wall cavities, ceilings, attics, etc. Honey Bees DO NOT build grey paper structures on the eaves of houses.
- Most volunteers have certain equipment that will only reach a certain height. Make sure you know approximately how high up the swarm is before contacting us.
- Our goal is whenever possible, to collect the Honey Bee Swarm safely and remove it from the current location to install it in our own apiaries.
- The volunteers are beekeepers and members North Central PA Beekeepers Assoc. interested in providing a service and protecting Honey Bees.
- In either case the association bears no responsibility and assumes no liability in the manner of which individuals provides services.
