Hicks Honey Farm is the named bee rescuer for Santa Rosa County, serving the Milton, Navarre, and Pace communities. Rather than a general pest service, this is a working honey farm that takes on live-bee calls, which is a good fit for homeowners who want a swarm or colony removed and kept alive rather than killed.
The advantage of a farm-based rescuer comes down to where the bees end up. Hicks Honey Farm runs a working apiary, so any colony that gets collected has a ready relocation destination. Bees taken off your property can be moved into the farm’s own hives and go right back to pollinating and producing honey, which is exactly the outcome a live-removal listing is meant to deliver.
A phone number is published for the farm, so Santa Rosa County residents can call to describe what they have found, whether it is a fresh swarm that has landed in a tree or bees that have settled around the house. Because this is a single farm covering several towns, availability will track with the season and the work of running an apiary, so it helps to reach out early and be clear about the situation. Costs and the scope of any given job are up to the beekeeper, and each beekeeper sets their own terms, so confirm those details when you call. For anyone around Milton, Navarre, or Pace who wants honey bees relocated rather than exterminated, Hicks Honey Farm is a solid local contact.
