Arthur Gaura covers a broad stretch of the Nature Coast, listed on the April 2026 statewide Florida Bee Rescuers roster across three counties: Citrus, Hernando, and Pasco. He published both a phone number and an email, so homeowners anywhere in that corridor, from the Crystal River and Inverness area down through Brooksville and into Pasco, have a couple of straightforward ways to get in touch about a live honey bee rescue.
Three-county coverage means Arthur handles a fair amount of ground, and the aim throughout is to relocate bees alive rather than kill them. A fresh swarm that has clustered on a branch, a fence, or the side of a house is usually the most manageable situation, since the bees have not yet built comb. A colony that has settled in and started drawing comb is a larger undertaking, but still one geared toward live removal and relocation.
Because he lists an email alongside a phone number, you can send a message with a photo or two, which is genuinely helpful when a rescuer is weighing a trip across a wide area. Whichever way you reach out, describe the bees’ location, how high off the ground they are, and how long they have been present. And since each beekeeper sets their own terms, confirm what a visit will involve before scheduling. For Nature Coast residents, Arthur is a well-placed live-bee contact.
