Dan Dorosheff Bee Rescue is listed for both Alachua and Columbia counties on the April 2026 Florida Bee Rescuers roster, covering the Gainesville and Lake City areas. This is a phone-only listing on a live-rescue roster, so the orientation is toward relocating bees rather than exterminating them.
Serving two adjacent counties makes this a convenient contact for homeowners across that stretch of north central Florida. Being on the Florida Bee Rescuers list means a colony would be collected and moved to safety, where the bees can keep pollinating, instead of being killed. If you have spotted a swarm resting on a tree or structure, or bees settling somewhere around your Gainesville- or Lake City-area home, this is a reasonable number to call. Since the contact is by phone, describe where the bees are and how long they have been there so the beekeeper can gauge the job. Every beekeeper sets their own terms, so confirm the details before scheduling.
