Swarm Catchers

Got bees swarming? No problem, we can help!

A bee swarm catcher is a person who specializes in capturing and relocating honeybee swarms. When honeybees swarm, they're in the process of looking for a new place to establish a colony. Bee swarm catchers are often called upon by homeowners, businesses, or local authorities to safely remove and relocate swarms that have settled in unwanted places, such as residential areas, schools, or public parks.

The process typically involves capturing the swarm using specialized equipment like bee suits, smokers, and bee brushes, and then transferring them into a hive box or other suitable container for transportation to a new location. Bee swarm catchers play a crucial role in bee conservation efforts by helping to protect honeybee populations and ensuring the safety of both the bees and the public.
