HCBA 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.”

HCBA Mentor’s Program is designed to offer assistance to any beekeeper in the club, however, it is specifically focused on helping “new beekeepers” to understand beekeeping and how to establish and maintain their hives. Each mentor is available to work hand-in-hand with the new beekeeper and guide them through the various processes of establishing their “apiary.” The following individuals members have offered to donate their service to helping you establish or maintain bee colonies. They are grouped by their location and are readily available to help you.
