Just responded to another bee swarm call. Bees are in the apiary. I'm a little cookoo for cocopuffs when it comes to bee swarms!

It's just about time for honeybees to start swarming. Here is what to do if you spot a swarm in Lake County Il or Kenosha County Wisconsin.

Call us as soon as the swarm is spotted and text a clear photo to 262-945-6033. Please include the location information. Do not hesitate to notify. Some people think they will go away, yes they might but their chosen location could be in the wall or soffit of a home.

Keep pets and children away from the area

Do not spray them with anything at all. No water, no chemicals, they are doing what they naturally do when their mother hive becomes too crowded.

There is generally no charge to capture a swarm hanging from a branch but if they move into a structure removal of a honeybee colony takes time, like hours to days in most cases and comes with fees as each piece of comb has to be manually cut out from the wall or soffit and placed into a hive. Then the bees need to removed with a bee vac system.

If you have honeybee questions feel free to email us at [email protected]

Its always best to include a picture for identification purposes.

Fresh batch of soap today!

Made some soap today.

The yellow one is regular goat's milk, oatmeal, Italian wildflower honey, extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, and vegetable oil.

The swirled one has the same ingredients above plus green clay powder, lemongrass essential oil, lavender flowers, eucalyptus tea, and charcoal powder. If you have issues with oily skin this one is worth a try.

It will be a little while before they are ready.

Ingredients have gone up a bit but the price will remain $ 6.00 per bar

If you have sensitive skin the yellow loaf is the favored soap. The goat's milk leaves a slight vanilla scent even though no essential oils are added to this loaf.

Can ship or leave your order out side. We also accept square payments so you can pay digitally and we can maintain social distancing.

Thank you

The honey bees made it safely into one of our hives by 6pm, we then left the hive in place until 9:30 PM to allow all of the scouts to return to the swarm location, then we picked up the hive and placed them into one of our bee yards. So right now the first rays of sunshine they will see today are those of their new location.

That is how a swarm should be collected - if the hive is removed before sundown there will be bees left over that had not returned yet.

If the swarm is not collected they can choose a eve of a home or possibly a wall cavity which then requires a day or better for removal and house repair.

Please share this post to help us help the bees and give them a proper home while in swarm mode.
