Honeybee Swarm Rescue and Relocation in Hot Springs, Arkansas

Offered by Music Mountain BeeWorX

At Music Mountain BeeWorX, we’re passionate about protecting honey bees and their critical role in our environment. Based in Hot Springs, Arkansas, we specialize in rescuing and relocating honey bee swarms throughout the local area and surrounding communities.

Honey bee swarms can often appear suddenly, clustering on trees, fences, or buildings as they search for a new home. While these swarms are usually non-aggressive, they can cause concern for property owners. Our mission is to provide a safe, efficient solution by relocating these bees to a secure and thriving environment where they can continue their essential work of pollination.

Our Process

Local Swarm Assessment: Serving Hot Springs and the surrounding areas, we quickly respond to reports of honey bee swarms, assessing the situation to determine the best approach for rescue.

Gentle Swarm Collection: Using specialized, bee-friendly methods, we safely gather the swarm without causing harm to the bees or the surrounding area.

Relocation to a Safe Home: Rescued honey bee swarms are transported to our apiary or a partner beekeeper’s location, where they can thrive in a supportive, well-maintained environment.

Ongoing Care: We monitor the relocated colony to ensure its successful transition and continued health.

If you’ve noticed a cluster of bees on your property, follow these steps to ensure we can assist you effectively:

1. Confirm They Are Honey Bees

Not all bees are honey bees. Take a close look or snap a picture if you’re unsure. Honey bees are typically golden-brown with black stripes and fuzzy bodies. If you’re uncertain, a clear photo can help us identify them.

2. Note the Location of the Bees

Determine where the bees are situated:

• How far above the ground are they?
• What are they clustered on (e.g., a tree branch, building, fence)?

3. Estimate How Long They’ve Been There

Bees may move on their own within hours or days. Knowing how long they’ve been in place helps us assess the situation.

4. Estimate the Size of the Cluster

Use everyday objects to compare:

• Is it the size of a baseball, grapefruit, or basketball?

5. Take a Clear Photo (If Possible)

A clear picture of the bees and their location can help us quickly identify the type of bee and assess the situation remotely.

6. Confirm Property Ownership

If you are not the property owner, obtain the owner’s permission before contacting us. Having their phone contact ready is also helpful.

7. Check Accessibility

Ensure the location is easily accessible:

• Can a vehicle drive up close?
• Are there any obstacles we should know about?
