Honeybee Swarm Removal in DelawareUpdated March, 2026
For Swarm removals: Individuals listed on our swarm call list are independent beekeepers. They help rescue and relocate honey bees' swarms. This service is usually free. For Structural Removals (Cutouts): Cutouts are not covered by the DBA insurance. Honey bee removal from structures is not a job for amateurs. We recommend you confirm that the Beekeeper is experienced with hive removal. Beekeepers listed for Cutouts are expected to follow best practices including removal, rehoming, and cleaning of all bee remnants. This is generally a paid service. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to make the necessary structural repairs after the beekeeper has completed the removal of the hive. Members who are willing to remove bees from inside buildings or trees are marked with an asterisk (*) on the list below. |
A list of local beekeepers who may offer the service of removing honeybees, organized by county and city. 
If swarms are not collected the honeybees will find a new home on their own, in a place that may not be convenient. Hollow trees, attics, chimneys and underneath the siding of a home have all been used by bees in the past.These honey bees can also be removed, but it may not be easy, and there may be a fee requested by the member doing the service. Depending on the size of the colony a contractor may also be necessary to repair damage.|
