Swarm Help

Do you have a bee swarm? Time is of the essence! Our swarm coordinator is Lazarus Fields, you can reach him by calling 765-425-1940 or emailing ltf@fieldsofnaturalhoney.com. It is helpful to send pictures or a description if pictures aren’t possible.

If you see a swarm, call a beekeeper, not an exterminator! When a hive becomes overcrowded, the queen takes some of the bees and looks for a new home. A trained professional can safely guide the bees into a new hive.

However, if you have wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets, we won’t be able to remove them. Please call an exterminator, or reach out if you would like help with identification.
