Ethical Honey Bee Removal, Rescue And Relocation USA And Canada - Directory

Swarms will sometimes move on of their own accord, but a nest is more permanent, and can grow significantly in size when located in buildings. A specialist beekeeper experienced and equipped to perform the task is your best contact. Don't attempt removal operations yourself.

If you have honey bees at your property (either a swarm, or perhaps within the structure of a building such as a wall or chimney), and need to have them removed, please select a practitioner who will relocate and rehome the bees safely and humanely, rather than kill them.

Below is a list of companies and individuals I believe to be genuine in their intention to relocate bees (the list is in development). 

If you cannot find anyone in your area among the contacts below, please see my link at the bottom of this page to a list of beekeeping associations.  A local association may have suitable contacts who may be able to assist you - do ask them whether they know the contact personally.

If you are a beekeeper who removes and relocates bees in the USA or Canada, please contact me to be added to my list, free of charge. Thank you.
