Who do I contact?
First:
-
Please read the swarm page
before contacting our members
-
Although it is a voluntary service, please note
there are expenses incurred; for example: the cost
of petrol, costs incurred in providing the bees with
frames of wax and medication to rid the bees of
parasites etc. There is no hard and fast rule
regarding price for removing swarms , but expect in
the region of £30
If you
find a swarm and are concerned, please contact
one of our members
below who will advise on the correct action and, if
necessary, will arrange to collect the bees. Beekeepers
normally charge for this service but it will be
significantly less than a pest control service and the
bees will not be killed.
Please,
never
use '999' unless you believe people are in
extreme danger
(very,
very unlikely).
