Bees & Swarms

PLEASE NOTE: 

ASSOCIATION BEEKEEPERS DO NOT REMOVE BEES OTHER THAN HONEY BEES. 
PLEASE CONTACT AN EXTERMINATOR IF YOU HAVE BEES OTHER THAN HONEYBEES.  Thank you!

If you have a swarm, the first piece of information to find is what kind of bees you have.   These are some pictures of honeybee swarms:

Below we have a small variety of bees that tend to be common in Wisconsin.  (Photos below are from Swarmremoval.com. )  ​

If you have determined that the bees are, in fact, honeybees, here are some local beekeepers that may be able to help.  Please contact the beekeeper who is closest to your location in the county

There may be a charge for the removal of honey bees due to gas prices and equipment costs. 
Please talk with the beekeeper to gather the correct information. Beekeepers may ask for a fee if they arrive and the bees are other than honeybees.
