Barry to Uncategorized  

If you see a swarm, please report it to our hotline at 250 900-5133 or by email to swarms@victoriabeekeepers.com Please leave your name, location and a number to call back for confirmation. Barry Denluck, our swarm co-ordiantor will arrange for someone from the club to come and take the bees away. They’ll get a new home and you’ll feel good about not spraying them with Raid.

Note sure if it is a swarm of honeybees?  Read more about honeybee swarms.

If you are a club member with a possible home for a swarm of bees, please email Barry your contact information.
