Save the swarm before you call anyone else.
Honey bees can usually be relocated rather than exterminated. The association's hotline connects Nevadans with removal specialists who do it live.
Hotline phone number to be supplied by the association
If you find bees
Keep your distance
Move people and pets away and give the swarm room. Most swarms are calm and temporary.
Don't spray
Over-the-counter sprays rarely resolve a colony and make live relocation impossible.
Note the location
Wall void, tree, meter box, roof line — plus how long it's been there and how high up.
Call the hotline
We refer you to a specialist near you who handles live removal and structural repair.
