Swarm Removal Contact Information


Got bees?

For Swarm/Honeybee info in Lackawanna County:

Renee Zeb (570) 335-3091


Ilona Thurston (570) 498-7310

We can get you in touch with local beekeepers in the area. These beekeepers are volunteers, if they are unable to come
or the swarm is up very high in a tree or on a chimney, etc. - leave the bees alone,
PLEASE do not spray them!!
They are not out to sting you- they have nothing to defend.
In 1-5 days they will find their new home and disperse.

winter project---
want to build a nuc??? fyi- they will outgrow this quickly and u will need a regular hive body. but it can be used to make a split or as a swarm trap.
