Wayne Foster Bee Rescue is an Alachua County entry on the April 2026 Florida Bee Rescuers list, an independent beekeeper offering live rescue. For a homeowner in the Gainesville area who wants a colony saved rather than sprayed, that live-rescue focus is exactly the reason to reach out to a listed rescuer.
Independent beekeepers take on swarms and colonies because the bees are worth preserving; a rescued colony can be relocated to managed hives and go on doing the pollination work honey bees are prized for. If you have found a swarm clustered on a branch or structure, or bees moving in and out of a spot on your Alachua County property, this is a reasonable contact. The listing is phone-based, so call and clearly describe what you are seeing, including where the bees are and how long they have been present. Every beekeeper sets their own terms, so confirm the scope before a visit is arranged.
