See one of these on your property? Have a honey bee colony in your wall, or in an outbuilding? NRVBA members may be able to help.

While our association makes no endorsement of any the following, nor accepts any liability for damages or injury resulting from their efforts, the individuals listed below may be able to assist in honey bee swarm capture and/or honey bee removal.

Caveats:

• If you have a honey bee colony nesting inside an occupied building and need demolition or construction services, you may want to consult with a licensed contractor before proceeding.
• Our members do not offer extermination services, nor do they remove insects other than honey bees. Before you call, please determine if you have wasps or hornets. If you do have wasps or hornets please contact, George Walden at gwalden@gmail.com or (757) 787-3013 or (757) 710-8458.
• In some instances, members will charge for travel expenses or removal services, so please discuss this with your chosen provider beforehand.
