Mike McKay appears on the April 2026 Florida Bee Rescuers roster as a rescuer covering both Osceola and Polk counties. For homeowners around Kissimmee, St. Cloud, Lakeland, Winter Haven, and the areas in between, that two-county reach makes him a practical name to keep handy when honey bees show up unexpectedly. The roster exists to connect residents with people who relocate live bees rather than kill them.
The listing is phone-only, which is typical for association rescuers and simply means the fastest way to get help is to call. Before you dial, it helps to have a clear picture of the situation: is it a swarm that has just clustered somewhere temporarily, or a colony that has moved in and started drawing comb? Note where it is, how high off the ground, and how long the bees have been present.
Because there is no website and no published detail beyond the phone contact and coverage area, the call itself is where you will work out whether the job is a good fit and what it entails. As with everyone in this directory, each beekeeper sets their own terms, so confirm the particulars up front. For an Osceola or Polk County resident, reaching a live-bee rescuer keeps a valuable colony working instead of destroyed.
