Need to find beekeepers in your area that will remove
honey bee swarms? Click the U.S. map to find beekeepers around the
U.S. that will remove honey bee swarms.
Make sure prior to calling a Beekeeper that what
you have are honeybees. Typical bees hanging from objects (see
pictures below) are honeybees. Honeybees can also find houses,
buildings, and other sites ideal. However, we get lots of calls from
folks thinking they have honeybees when in fact they have yellow jackets.
Here are 2 pages to help you determine if you have honey bees.

The flying
swarm temporarily clusters on an object, such as a tree branch, while scout bees
search for a permanent nest site. A hanging swarm may assume any shape,
depending on the surface on which it is clustered. Most hanging swarms are round
or oval, about the size of a basketball, and dark brown.
Swarms in the clustered
stage are relatively gentle, and the risk of stings is low. Nevertheless, treat
swarms with caution. A swarm usually relocates to a permanent nest -- a hollow
tree, abandoned beekeeper's hive, or inside a hollow wall -- within
24 hours.
