Honey Bee Swarm Removal​​ For ​Utah, Salt Lake, & Juab County ​​

​As long as you don't disturb the swarm, the bees shouldn't cause any problems.

​During a swarm honey bees are extremely docile. They are ​focused on finding​ a new home and protecting the queen.

​As long as you don't threaten the queen, the swarm should stay clumped together until we can come pick them up.

​If at all possible, please do not spray the bees​!​

Honey bees are a precious (and increasingly scarce) resource for the planet and we ​want to keep ​these colonies alive wherever possible.

During swarming, the bees shouldn't cause any problems. As such, ​please do everything you can to wait until we can come remove the bees ​for you.

​Where possible, we​ like to remove the bees the same day that you tell us about them. ​

Sometimes, this is not possible, however, and we may have to remove the bees within a few days of you sending us the details. The bees should be just fine ​and should not bother anyone as long as you ​give them space. 

In some cases, the swarm removal process may require more than one day to complete. This is especially true if the swarm is in a difficult spot (such as under floor boards), is very high up, or otherwise proves difficult to remove. ​

​Important Note About Timing: Swarm removal is ​best completed ​during the evening hours or after dark as it presents the ​greatest opportunity to ​capture as many bees as possible.

We know that this can be unnerving to some folks who want the bees removed immediately​. ​We ask that you be patient ​while we determine the best time to capture the swarm based on the situation we're presented with.

​No. Even though a swarm can be nerve-wracking to look at, honey bees are extremely docile during swarming.

As long as you give the swarm a little bit of space, the bees ​shouldn't bother anyone.

​Generally speaking, you shouldn't have to do much.

​Do what you can to steer people away from the swarm​ and if ​you can, cordon off the area so that we have room to work when we arrive. 

​Lastly, if anything changes in the swarm's behavior (moves locations, etc.), please reach out to us right away via the form above and let us know.

​During short periods of time (a few days or even a week), the honey bees ​won't have been around long enough​ to cause any damage to structures.

​If left long enough (several weeks, months, or years), however, bees can cause a structural damage as they begin to make their home. 

If you notice signs of honey bees in your home, business, or another structure, report it to a local beekeeper immediately.
