If a honey bee swarm has clustered on a fence, a tree limb, or the side of your house somewhere in Leon County, Ricky Wagner Bee Rescue is one of the local contacts you can reach out to. The listing appears on the April 2026 Florida Bee Rescuers roster as the Leon County entry, which means this is a beekeeper who has volunteered to take live-bee calls in and around Tallahassee rather than have those colonies sprayed.
Both a phone number and an email are published for rescue calls, so you can make contact in whatever way suits an unfolding swarm situation. That matters when a cluster shows up unexpectedly and you would rather move quickly than let it settle deeper into a wall or soffit. Reaching a beekeeper early, while the bees are still exposed and calm, usually makes for the smoothest relocation.
The aim here is live removal and relocation, not extermination. Honey bees that are collected get a chance to keep pollinating Leon County’s gardens, farms, and wild landscapes instead of being killed on the spot. Because roster entries like this one are individual beekeepers rather than storefront companies, it is worth calling ahead to confirm availability, what a given situation involves, and how the beekeeper prefers to work. As with every provider in this directory, each beekeeper sets their own terms, so ask about the specifics before you commit. For Tallahassee-area homeowners who want a swarm handled humanely by someone local, Ricky Wagner is a sensible first call.
