Tamara Steger is a central Florida bee rescuer whose coverage spans both Orange and Seminole counties, which makes her a useful contact whether the bees have appeared in the Orlando area or up around Sanford and the rest of Seminole. She published a phone number and an email on the April 2026 statewide Florida Bee Rescuers roster, so residents on either side of the county line have a couple of easy ways to reach her.
Live rescue is the whole point here. Honey bees are pollinators worth saving, and a swarm that has clustered on a tree, a fence, or the side of a building can generally be collected and moved to a managed hive without harm. Colonies that have settled somewhere and started to build comb are a bigger undertaking, but the aim is the same: relocate the bees alive rather than kill them.
Because Tamara lists both a phone number and an email, you can send a note with photos or call directly, whichever is easier. Either way, describe where the bees are, how high off the ground, and how long they have been in place so she can gauge the job. And since each beekeeper sets their own terms, it is worth confirming what a visit involves before you schedule. For a central Florida homeowner, a two-county rescuer like Tamara is a convenient first call.
