Swarms and Cutouts

 The COBA swarm and cutout list downloaded  below helps save  honey bees and find a new home for them. Members of COBA are listed by name, phone number,  zip code, and areas served. It may  be necessary to try several of these members as time is of the  essence. Find a member in your area and contact them with information about the swarm (how long has it been there, how high up is it,  the location of the swarm). Ask for pricing and services. COBA is not responsible for any problems  that may arise. 

COBA's beekeepers are  experts in numerous topics about beekeeping including food sources, pollination, bee behavior, and bee biology. To request a speaker, please download and submit the form below to Claudia Khourey-Bowers, COBA Vice President, at claudiakhoureybowers@gmail.com
