Michael Josemans Bee Rescue is the Okaloosa County entry on the April 2026 Florida Bee Rescuers list, covering the Fort Walton Beach and Destin corridor. This is a beekeeper offering to take live honey bee calls in the area, which gives local homeowners a humane alternative to spraying when a swarm or colony shows up.
One practical detail to plan around: the contact here is email-only, with no phone number published. That shapes how you should reach out. Send a clear written message describing what you are seeing, where the bees are, and how long they have been there, and include a few photos if you can. Good detail up front helps the beekeeper size up the situation and respond, especially since there is no way to talk it through by phone.
Because this is a lower-confidence, email-only roster listing, it is best to treat it as a first point of contact rather than a guarantee of quick service, and to reach out early if you are watching an active swarm. The aim of a rescue entry like this is live removal and relocation so the colony survives and keeps pollinating the Fort Walton Beach and Destin area, not extermination. As with everyone in this directory, each beekeeper sets their own terms, so ask about the specifics once you connect. For an Okaloosa County resident who prefers to start with a written message, Michael Josemans Bee Rescue is worth contacting.
