Chappie’s Bees carries some real standing in the north central Florida beekeeping world: the operator is the founder of the North Central Florida Beekeepers Association. On the statewide rescuer roster, Chappie’s Bees covers four counties, Alachua, Columbia, Levy and Marion, giving homeowners across a wide area a single experienced name to call.
Founding a regional beekeepers association is not something a casual hobbyist does, and it signals deep involvement in the local bee community and its live-removal ethic. For a homeowner, that translates to a rescuer oriented toward saving and relocating colonies rather than eliminating them. Whether you are dealing with a fresh swarm that has landed on your property or bees that have taken up residence somewhere they should not be, this is a contact worth trying across that four-county footprint.
Because the listing spans several counties, it is a useful fallback even if you are not sure which local rescuer serves your exact area. When you call, be ready to describe where the bees are, how long they have been there and whether they are visible in the open or going in and out of a structure. Every beekeeper sets their own terms, so confirm scope and details before scheduling a visit.
