Some members will also do cut-outs (removal of established bee hives from structures) and trap-outs (removals where the hive is not accessible). Cut-outs and trap-outs are labor-intensive and usually incur some kind of fee.
To be placed on the swarm list you must be a current SVB member. Please come to the meeting and sign up at the membership table.
