Honeybee Swarm Alert: (TBA) Tidewater Beekeepers Association respectfully requests our friends and neighbors in the Tidewater area call the TBA Swarm Coordinator at (757) 563-2275 if you identify a Honeybee swarm on your property. Swarming is a natural behavior for honeybees and a cluster of bee's can appear almost anywhere spring to fall.
TBA members offer FREE honeybee swarm collecting as a public service. An experienced beekeeper will collect the swarm and reintroduce the honeybees into a hive before they establish their home under your rooftop eaves, inside an exterior wall, or under your deck. PLEASE DO NOT spray the bees with pesticides or chemicals!! DO HELP US protect this important Natural Resource!!! Our food supply depends on their hard work & pollination!
COMMUNITY SERVICE SPEAKERS: TBA has been providing FREE Beekeeping presentations to the public schools, garden clubs, Rotary Clubs, Boys and Girls Scouts troops, Home School groups and other organizations in Tidewater the past 25 years. To request a speaker for your next event, please contact any club officer.
