Speakers for Local Associations

Interested in speaking at other local associations?  Have a specific area of beekeeping expertise and willing to share that knowledge with other beekeepers?

Many of our local clubs would like to hear what other clubs are doing, tips and tricks for keeping our honey bees alive and surviving through winter.

Perhaps you are passionate about Top Bar Hives, Warre Hives or just Live Hives and you'd like to share that passion with other beekeepers.

Send an email to chuckdailey@att.net, subject "Speaker List"

See our Education page for more information or to request someone to speak at your group.

SWARMS or CUTOUTS

Swarms are more prevalent in the Spring; however, anytime a hive is overcrowded they may swarm.   What's the difference between a swarm and a cut out or trap out?  See a short explanation below.  If you need to find someone interested in removing swarms check out the Swarm Call List link below.  If you have bees in a structure, check out the Cut Out List link below.

Swarms - a cluster of bees that have landed on a temporary location, usually a tree limb or fence.  

Cut outs - hive of bees are in a structure; home, garage, etc.

Trap Outs- a hive is located inside a structure that prohibits the removal of any of the structure to get to the bees.  This is the most time consuming and requires several trips to the location. 

Here is a Swarm Call List of The Beekeepers of Indiana by county along with name and contact numbers.

Here is a Cut Out List of beekeepers in the The Beekeepers
of Indiana that will do cut outs.  The list is by county along with name and contact numbers.
