Honeybees are a wonderful and valuable superorganism. They provide us with honey and pollinate trees and plants that give us food and flowers. Please don’t call an exterminator if you don’t have to! In many cases beekeepers are able to successfully relocate your bees, and as a thank you we will gladly give you a some free honey and comb if your bees are producing on the spot (We harvest honey ONLY in spring once the pollen has started flowing, that way we know that what we are taking is truly excess from the bees winter stores, because remember, honey is the bees food). Therefore, if we collect your bees from a swarm, they will need to build comb to store honey for a whole year until we can harvest the honey the following spring. The only exception is when bees abscond (leave the hive), which sometimes happens with ferral hives. Either way keep in touch with us to find out if your bees are making honey. If you call us out for a hive removal, get a storage container ready, because we will give you some of the honey comb to try! 480 334 2746
