Swarm Catchers

A red pin indicates that this beekeeper will only do swarm catches
(ie. out of a tree or on the side of a building)

A blue pin indicates that this beekeeper will do both swarm catches and either cut outs or trapouts (which involve a lot more time and effort, expect a fee involved)

Please read this helpful section on what to do before calling to report a swarm!

What is a swarm?

 

2025 Swarm Catchers

These people will come to your home or business if there is a clump of bees clearly visible and accessible. They may require a ladder or to trim some branches. If the bees have already moved inside your walls, you need someone that can do a “cut-out”. See 2nd map below


2025 Swarm Catchers that will also do cut-outs

This is generally when the bees have moved inside a wall of your house. Drywall, plywood or siding will most likely have to be cut to properly remove them. This can be a difficult job.
