THE PRESCOTT BEE CLUB
BEE RELOCATION
We have a number of active PBC members as well as non-members that
perform bee relocations. The PBC does not endorse or recommend any
specific bee removal individual or company. PBC does not provide bee/swarm removal
services. Please contact one of the SWARM COORDINATORS listed below! They will send out your request to many beekeepers to see if anyone is available and interested in taking your request. We do provide referrals of both PBC Members who are experienced beekeepers with knowledge and expertise in bee/swarm removals as well as outside of the PBC companies and individuals. They all perform bee removal/relocation services on their own time for different fees depending on the job required based on location and difficulty of the hive(s). Bee relocation is difficult, time consuming, with no guarantee of success. Our Bee Relocators are happy to receive the experience with bees and the possibility of saving a wild hive. Most beekeepers charge for their services (which typically is to cover their time and costs). Cost varies depending on the job. The PBC DOES NOT have a list of bee removal charges. When you receieve a call from a beekeepee that is willing to take on your particular bee removal/relocation needs, their costs will be discussed with you at that time you arrange the appointment.
UPDATED May 19, 2024:
DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING AMOUNT
OF PHONE CALLS (40-45 per day) REGARDING
BEE RELOCATIONS AND THE LACK OF
BEE RELOCATORS AT THIS TIME, WE CANNOT
RESPOND TO YOUR BEE RELOCATION NEEDS.
IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, PLEASE CALL
YOUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT OR YOUR LOCAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY.
IF YOU HAVE A SWARM OF BEES ON YOUR

THEM TO MOVE ON. THEY ARE ON A JOURNEY
TO THEIR NEW LOCATION TO CREATE A HIVE AND
THEY ARE SIMPLY RESTING
THE QUEEN ON THEIR LONG JOURNEY.
