Hello,
We are not beekeepers but we think we may have a swarm on our roof area near a chimney. Just noticed it today. After looking online for info, we were wondering if you have any members that would attempt to remove them to keep? We are in New Lisbon.

Hi Maura, Thank you for reaching out. I see that you messaged 2 days ago. Swarms are typically searching for new homes and will sometimes settle in an area while their scouts search. Has the swarm left or is it still there? If so please e-mail schohariebeekeeper@gmail.com
