Swarms and Cutouts

What to do if you have a swarm

The COBA swarm and cutout list available below helps save bees and find them a new home.  Members of COBA are listed by name, phone number, zip code, and areas served.

It may be necessary to try to contact several members as time is of the essence.  


Find a COBA member in your area and contact them with photos and details about the swarm or if the bees are in a structure (how long the bees have been there, how high up the swarm is, the location of the swarm, please include photos).  


Ask about pricing and services. COBA is not responsible for any problems that may occur in removing the swarm. Questions?  please call Claudia Khourey-Bowers at 330 353-2315.
