Dara Kustler has one of the more unusual listings on the statewide roster: coverage in two counties on opposite sides of the state, Polk in Central Florida and Broward on the southeast coast. The entry includes both a phone number and an email, so homeowners in either county have a direct way to make contact when bees turn up.
The focus is live bee rescue, which means honey bees are removed and relocated rather than exterminated. Whether you are in Polk or Broward and have found a swarm on a tree or fence, or a colony settling into a spot it should not be, this is a contact aimed at saving the bees. When you reach out, be clear about which county you are in, since that shapes what a visit looks like, and describe where the bees are and what they are doing.
Because a single rescuer is listed across two widely separated areas, timing and travel naturally factor into scheduling, so it helps to make contact early, especially during spring when swarm calls peak. Both the phone and email work to get started; leading with your location and a short description gets you to an answer faster. Each beekeeper sets their own terms, so confirm the details of a call-out directly. For live removal in either Polk or Broward County, Dara Kustler is a flexible contact to have.
