Some Basics Before Calling us

* Is it a swarm of Honey Bees .  Please see the pictures on this page to see what honey bee swarms look like

* Please do not spray the bees with anything ....
* Please let the dispatcher know about how long the swarm has been in its current  location. Time is important with honey bees within hours.
* If the Swarm is in a tree how far up is the swarm and what kind of tree are they in or shrub or the side of a house.....
* Honey bee Swarms are a natural accurance they are looking for a home . A swarm makes a lot of noise when in movement and takes on the look of a small
twister ( honey bee twister) before gathering on a tree branch , side of a house , in a bush etc. They then send out scouts to look for a new home once they
find a place the twister starts again and they leave.
* Honey bees seek out larger areas to nest in like a hollow of a tree, the soffits of a house that is  not properly chalked , also walls, attic areas and house columns if not proplerly sealed.

We DO NOT remove yellow jackets, hornets , or wasps, or Bumble bees  JUST HONEY BEES PLEASE...!!!
