FAQ Category: Swarms

Information on identifying swarms and how to get one removed

What can I do if the bees/insects cannot be collected but I need them to be removed?

I would like to be added to the OBKA swarm collectors list

Is there a charge for the collection of my swarm?

Can someone come and collect a swarm?

Is a swarm of bees dangerous

My details as a swarm collector are missing from the BBKA website or incorrect.

We have just discovered a honey bee swarm in our garden. Do you know any beekeepers who might be able to remove it?
