Swarm Removal

Providing guidance for the property owner/manager in dealing with bee colony removal

The swarm hotline is for dealing with swarms, exposed clusters of bees, looking for a home. These bees can amass on tree branches, fire hydrants, even the sides of buildings, while they try to figure out where they will be moving to. Swarms need prompt intervention.

We are currently serving the Louisville area and surrounding areas.
