About Bee Swarm by County
Bee Swarm by County connects people who find honey bee swarms with the beekeeper swarm lists that associations keep in every state, and explains when you need a removal specialist instead.
Why we built it
When a swarm lands on a mailbox, most people search for an exterminator. Beekeepers would rather collect the bees, and nearly every state association keeps a swarm list, but those lists are hard to find. We put each state's official list one click away.
Where the data comes from
State pages are checked against state beekeepers associations, the American Beekeeping Federation's list of state removal lists, and state apiary inspection programs.
Who writes it
Bee Swarm by County is published by Directory Assistance Group, an independent publisher of free lookup tools and directories, and is written and maintained by a small editorial team. We are not lawyers, engineers, doctors, or government officials, and we do not claim to be. What we do is read the primary sources (statutes, agency guidance, university extension publications, and official court and health-department pages), turn them into plain steps, and link every claim back to where it came from.
How the site is paid for
The site is free to use and is supported by advertising, clearly labeled featured listings, and a few Amazon affiliate links. Advertisers do not choose or review our topics, and payment never changes what a guide says or the official details we list. Read our editorial standards for how we pick sources, correct mistakes, and keep ads separate from content.
Tell us what we got wrong
Rules change and local details vary. If you spot an error or an out-of-date figure, please send us a note with a link to the source. We read every correction and date-stamp the fix.
