The following members of our Association provide a service to the local community by collecting swarm bees or assisting with bees in general. Members charge a small fee to cover their costs but this is considerably less than you will pay to have the swarm poisoned by a pest exterminator. Please discuss this with them when you call.

We recommend you contact one of our members listed below as soon as possible, especially in relation to swarm bees, before they settle into a permanent place in your home - 'Give them a call before they get into your wall'.
