Honey bee swarm collection and hive/colony "Cut-Outs"

Kent WA

Description

Hello I am interested in collecting honey bee swarms. This is a natural cycle of reproduction for honey bees that happens during spring and throughout summer into the fall. When a colony grows to a size to large for its current hive space/cavity the colony will split into sub colonies with new queens looking for their own hollow wooden space to call home. When this happens they ball up on a tree branch in a bush, or in weird places like a park bench or mail box. Scouts then look for potential new homes the swarm will remain in this location for several hours or a couple days. During this time they can be captured put into a human "hive box" and relocated to a safe area. I will also perform "cut-outs" from exterior walls and buildings for a minimal fee, "see pictures". Only doing cut-outs for honey bees I am not a pest control expert in any manner.
