Who do you usually call to give your phone number and offer to retrieve swarms? Animal Control? Anybody else?

Thanks,

If you want to pursue swarms, I suggest (1) calling the local 911 service, police, and fire departments. Maybe even hospitals and doc-in-a-box clinics, too.

(2) sending a confirmatory notice with contact info, such as a 3x5 card, that all emergency-type services can post in a convenient location.

It'll be prudent to include disclaimers about how you won't remove wasps and non-honeybee pests.

Local Pest Control companies, Roofing Companies,
and if you are trying to do it e-mail your information to= [email protected]
Their web Site is Honey Run Apiaries, they also list bee removal informatation for your area.

I also have nationwide swarm removal list as well if anyone is interested. (#3 for swarm removal on google, not sure how that happened, there use to be some big guys that were always on top.) Just email me or fill out the form online.

Oops: I should read the post more carefully. I was already mentioned.

I just gave my name to the local extension office and they said they get tons of calls and most beekeepers on their list quit taking swarms because they get so many!!
