The Haywood County Bee Chapter (HCBC) has qualified members who can remove “honeybee-swarms” from your home or property and relocate them. Contact one of the members on the following list who is closet to your location and make arrangements for the removal of the honeybees. This “swarm-removal” service is “free-of-charge” to the property owner, however the Honeybee Swarm Removal Team (HSRT) member gets to keep the collected honeybees. Other species of bees may be relocated to a remote area, at the discretion of the team member.

In addition, the bee club graciously accepts donations that can assist us with furthering
 “Bee Education” throughout Haywood County.

For donations, make your check payable to:

Haywood County Bee Club

Please memo your check as “Swarm-removal-donation.”
