Mt. Baker Beekeepers Association (MBBA) provides this list of Honeybee Swarm Catchers every year to Whatcom County 911 Dispatchers. Swarm Catchers are members of Mt. Baker Beekeepers Association and volunteer their time, to provide this service to the public free of charge. If you find what you believe is a swarm you can contact any of our Swarm Catchers listed below. Please note the following;
1) Be sure to CHECK OUT our page about what is a honeybee swarm vs. what is not a honeybee swarm
2) SELECT the Swarm Catcher according to areas/location of swarm
3) Our Swarm Catchers are NOT available for WASPS, YELLOW JACKETS, HORNET or BUMBLE BEE nest removal
