The Howard County Beekeepers’ Association, Inc. (HCBA) publishes and distributes this swarm contact list as a service to the public. We are neither an oversight nor certification organization for beekeepers. If you engage the services of anyone on the list, you need to be aware that you are engaging the services of that beekeeper as an individual – you are not hiring them as an agent of HCBA. Problems are rare, but if you should have one, it is a matter between you and the individual that you engaged to handle your bee situation.
