All the buzz you need to get…about and for Beekeepers

Got Swarms???

It’s yellowjacket season! If you got here looking for someone to relocate bees, text a picture of them to the number below. It is probably not bees. If you see a “paper” nest, it is not bees and we will not remove them. Get some hornet and wasp spray and at dusk, spray them down. See picture below to help you identify them.

If you have a swarm on your property, we probably have someone willing to come get it. Click on the link and call whoever covers your area or call 828 BEE 5623 (828-233-5623)
