Linda Di Gloria has one of the widest single-contact coverage areas on the statewide roster, listed across five counties: Charlotte, Hillsborough, Lee, Manatee, and Pinellas. That sweep runs from the Tampa Bay area down through the Sarasota-Manatee region and on into southwest Florida around Fort Myers and Punta Gorda. For a homeowner anywhere in that broad territory who has found honey bees, Linda is a strong name to have on hand.
Her listing focuses on live rescue, meaning the goal is to gather the colony and relocate it to a managed hive rather than kill it. Swarms that have paused on a tree, a fence, or a building while the bees look for a permanent home are the classic spring call and usually the easiest to move, while a colony that has settled in and started drawing comb is a heavier lift with the same live-relocation intent.

Because the coverage area is so large, confirming that Linda can reach your specific location is a smart first step. Contact is by phone, so describe where the bees are, how high off the ground, and how long they have been there. And since each beekeeper sets their own terms, work out the details of a visit before scheduling.
