Swarm removal list:   If you have found a honey bee swarm, you can use this list to locate a beekeeper near you who may be able to come and collect it.*

NOTE:   County and City provided on the list below indicate the primary location of the individual listed.   Some of these individuals are willing to travel to nearby counties to retrieve swarms, so if you can not find someone in your county, you may find help in neighboring counties.  The link below may help you identify which counties are closest to you.

If you are listed on the swarm list and you would like to change how your listing appears, you can modify your information by making changes in the name, city county and phone numbers lines of your MBA profile.  Those changes will appear on the list when it is next updated.  

MBA members can add or remove themselves from the list by selecting or unselecting Swarm List under Member Participation in their member profile.  You can update/correct your information in the list by updating you MBA member profile.  To be included, you must have a contact phone number in your profile and your county is required for sorting.   NOTE:  We are currently working on an issue of some member data being shifted such that County is listed as Michigan, and State as USA.   Please take a minute to be sure that you are not affected, and update county and state if you are.   Although not required, including your city will help those needing to look across county lines find who is closest to them.   It may take a few weeks for your changes to appear on the website.  If you need help making changes to your profile or your information does not appear on the list within 3-4 weeks of making your changes, please contact newslettereditor@mba-bees.org or communications@mba-bees.org
