Found a swarm of bees?
Don't call an exterminator. Honeybee swarms are peaceful and look for new homes in late spring. Find a local beekeeper for free, humane swarm removal near you.
Why local matters
Beekeeping is hyper-local. The right hive type, treatment timing, forage calendar, and overwinter strategy depend on your latitude, climate, and local nectar flow. A Florida orange-blossom beekeeper and a Maine wildflower beekeeper barely overlap in their year-by-year calendar — even though they're keeping the same species.
Local associations connect you to mentors, surplus equipment, swarm-call lists, group buys for treatments, and (most importantly) people who'll come help when something goes wrong.
