Do you have a swarm of honey bees and don't know what to do?

 

400px-Bee swarm smWe may be able to help! Swarming, while frightening to those unfamiliar with it, is a natural part of a bee's reproductive cycle.

First, don't panic. Contact a beekeeper closest to you for swarm removals. (Towns listed are the home towns of the beekeepers.) Please make sure you are looking at honey bees! If possible, take a photo of what you are looking at before contacting someone on this list.
