Nature Coast Beekeepers Swarm Rescue is the club’s swarm-rescue contact for Citrus County and the wider Nature Coast, and it appears as the Citrus County entry on the statewide Florida Bee Rescuers roster. Reaching a rescue line run through a local beekeeping club is a good bet for a homeowner, because the people who respond are hobbyist and sideline beekeepers whose whole interest is in saving the colony and moving it to a hive rather than exterminating it.
Around Inverness, Crystal River, and the rest of Citrus County, honey bee swarms are a familiar sight in spring, often as a dense cluster hanging from a tree, a fence, or the corner of a building while the bees scout for a permanent home. A cluster like that is typically the easiest and safest to relocate. A colony that has already established itself somewhere is a bigger project, but the club’s swarm-rescue focus is squarely on live removal.

Contact is by phone. Describe where the bees are, how high up, and how long they have been in place so the club can route your call to the right volunteer. Because each beekeeper sets their own terms, confirm the details of a visit when you reach out.
