Professional Bee Swarm Rescue and Relocation Services in Your Area
Do You Have a Honey Bee Swarm? We Can Help!
Honey bee swarm season is here and across the country! If you find a honey bee swarm or have bees in a tree or structure you may qualify for our Bee Swarm Removal Service. Honey bees leave their hive when overcrowding, queen laying or disease forces the queen and approximately half of the hives occupants (bees) to leave the hive in search of a new hive. Initially, the bees leaving the hive congregate in a large mass called a “swarm.” They are particularly vulnerable at this time and use a branch or other stationary location to gather together in preparation to fly as a group to the new hive. At Setter’s Field we take unwanted bees and relocate them to a location where they are wanted and will be cared for by a beekeeper. We can rescue any bee swarm up to 30 feet high. Honey bee swarms will be rescued in May and June! Late swarms, August and September will also be rescued. We also save bees living in a tree or structure for a fee.
If you find a honey bee swarm or have bees in a tree or structure, you may qualify for our Bee Swarm Removal Service. Honey bees leave their hives due to overcrowding, queen laying, or disease, leading to the creation of swarms.
Why Save the Bees?
Vital to Our Ecosystem and Food Supply
Honey bees pollinate 1/3 of the foods we eat and are vital to our survival, yet they are struggling to survive. This past winter, 80% of the bee colonies in Massachusetts died, highlighting the importance of saving every bee we can.

- Lost colonies (April-June 2022): 290
- Added colonies (April-June 2022): 1,200
