DO YOU SEE BEES? Call Us NOW!

Honey bees swarm in the early spring to late summer. If you see a cluster of bees hanging on a tree or other object, that is a swarm and we have members who can come collect them and give them a nice home.
If you see bees going in and out of a hole or crack in a building, they have already moved in and we have members who can safely remove them and all of the comb so you won't have unwelcome neighbors.
Click here to make sure you see HONEY BEES and to learn more.
Contact Richard Dunnagan 919-606-3980, our Swarm and Cutout team leader.

THESE ARE NOT BEGINNER BEEKEEPING PROGRAMS. Our Bee School is the way to get started.

We are a local chapter of the North Carolina State Beekeepers Association.
We have members of all ages that are very active at both the state and local levels.
We discuss a wide variety of topics regarding beekeeping in Person County, North Carolina and the surrounding area.
Many of our members live or keep bees in neighboring counties.
All are welcome in our club.
