2010 Swarm List Volunteers

  • The MDBA requests a $50 donation for swarm removal services. This money is used for our educational programs.
  • MDBA members are volunteers. We are not licensed contractors, and will pass on hazardous removals. If the swarm is hanging from the high voltage lines call PG&E!
  • If you're a member of the MDBA and would like to be added to or removed from the Swarm list please contact Jeff Peacock.

Every year MDBA volunteers help their communities by collecting local swarms. This is a win / win / win / win deal because not only do our beekeepers get a fresh new hive of survivor stock, but the bees get removed from unfortunate locations, they are saved from being sprayed with pesticides and the club receives a $50 donation to help with our school and community programs, guest speakers and other event costs.

Collecting swarms is fun and easy and is a great way to educate the public about the value of bees, the secrets of their lifestyles and the relative harmlessness of the swarm. The Swarm List is being completely updated for 2010. If you are an MDBA member and would like to be added to the Swarm List in 2010 please send me an email with the following information:

  1. Your name
  2. Your contact phone number
  3. Which cities you are willing to travel to in order to pick up swarms

The swarm list will be updated at the end of January and will be posted here. A notice will also be sent to all of the organizations in the area who field swarm calls to let them know where to look for volunteers.

This is a volunteer activity for which the club asks a donation. If you perform professional swarm removals and charge for your services please don't sign up unless you intend to waive your fee for club calls. If, during the course of the year, you find you have no more room for swarms please send me another email so that I can remove you from the list.
