Dave Hamilton offers the broadest coverage of the Tampa Bay Beekeepers Association’s Tampa-area contacts, listed for swarm rescue and nuisance honey bee colony removal across three counties: Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco, taking in Tampa and Brandon. That wide reach makes him a practical first call for a large slice of the bay area, whether the bees have appeared in the city, out toward Brandon, over in Pinellas, or up in Pasco.
The association lists him for both swarm rescue and nuisance colony removal, so he covers the full spread of situations. A swarm is the loose, temporary cluster you might find hanging from a tree, a fence, or a structure while the bees look for a new home, and it is usually the easiest to gather and relocate. A nuisance colony that has moved into an unwanted spot and started building comb is a larger job, but the emphasis stays on getting the live bees out and rehomed rather than exterminating them.

Contact is by phone. Because Dave covers three counties, confirm he can reach your location, then describe where the bees are, how high, and how long they have been there. As always, each beekeeper sets their own terms.
