We are interested in collecting Honey Bee Swarms
and not hornet or wasp nests.
Step Two:
Your Swarm Catcher will want to know...
- Are they honey bees?
- Where is the swarm located?
- How high off the ground is the swarm?
- How long has the swarm been there?
- How big is the swarm? Baseball or basketball size, or bigger?
- Have you called anyone else?
Step Three:
Open or view the map below and zoom into the location of the swarm, then call the beekeepers closest to that location.

Please Note:
The swarm call map lists all Beekeepers who have volunteered to attempt to collect swarms of honey bees (they are wild critters, after all). Please be courteous when you contact them. Many work full time jobs and they will return your call as quickly as possible. Start by calling a volunteer in your location from the map below.
Those on the list operate as independent contractors in this activity and do not in any way represent T.V.B.C., nor operate under its auspices or control in providing this service. Treasure Valley Beekeepers Club provides this list only as a public service and does not endorse or recommend the qualifications of any named person appearing on it. Members of the public using the list do so at their own risk.
