Sandy Ashby Bee Rescue is a honey bee removal contact for Escambia County and the greater Pensacola area, listed as the county’s entry on the April 2026 Florida Bee Rescuers roster. This is an individual beekeeper offering to take live-bee calls rather than a storefront operation, which is exactly what many homeowners need when a swarm turns up and they would rather see it relocated than sprayed.
What adds some weight to this listing is the association behind it. Sandy Ashby is affiliated with the Santa Rosa Beekeepers Association in Milton, a group that publishes removal contacts and runs honey bee classes for the region. That connection ties this rescuer into a wider community of local beekeepers, the kind of network that keeps knowledge and hive-handling standards current.
A phone number is published for rescue calls, so Escambia County residents can reach out directly to describe a swarm or colony and ask about next steps. Because this is a volunteer-style roster entry, availability will vary and it is best to call ahead rather than assume same-day service. The intent is live removal and relocation so the bees can keep pollinating the Pensacola area, not extermination. As with any beekeeper in this directory, each beekeeper sets their own terms, so confirm the particulars when you make contact. For a Pensacola-area homeowner wanting a humane, locally-connected first call, Sandy Ashby Bee Rescue fits the bill.
