Albert Risemberg is listed on the statewide Florida roster as a Pinellas County bee rescuer. For homeowners in Pinellas who have run into a swarm or a colony moving into an inconvenient spot, he is a local contact for live honey bee removal, meaning the bees are relocated rather than exterminated.
The entry is phone-only, without a website or a detailed service list, which is common for individual beekeepers who volunteer to field rescue calls. The best approach is to call, explain your location and what the bees are doing, and ask what he can take on. Swarm season peaks in spring around Pinellas, so a prompt call improves your odds of a quick response. Each beekeeper sets their own terms, so confirm the details of any visit up front. For Pinellas County residents who would rather see the bees saved, Albert Risemberg is a straightforward name to try.
