Swazey Farms — honey, honey bee removal and bee education

Six chickens and a ramshackle dog house.

In the fertile soil of Swazey Farms, the seeds of our vision were sown in 2015 with just six chickens in a makeshift coop crafted from a ramshackle dog house.

Education became our steadfast passion, propelling us to continually explore innovative methods of sustainability. Although our current focus is primarily on bees, we embrace change and move forward with creative vigor.

For years, Swazey Farms has sought to create a sustainable oasis in a suburban community. Too often people assume agriculture is reserved for large rural properties. Sharing our ideas and providing ways to implement them at any scale is our passion.

Whatever you do, resist the urge to spray!

From trees to fences, sheds to chimneys, attics, and beyond — wherever bees decide to land, Swazey Farms is here to handle them with expertise and care.

Swarms

Our SWARM services are offered at no charge. Simply provide us with a few basic details about the swarm's location, and our friendly farmers will be on-site before you know it.

April – August, weather dependent

Cut-outs

If the bees have taken up residence within your home, business, or other interior spaces, it's considered a CUT-OUT. These situations often require more effort, navigating through walls, attics, or enclosed spaces, and a fee will apply.

No job is too big, or small!

No two removals are the same so we approach each with an open mind. The greatest compliment we often receive is, "If I didn't watch it for myself, I never would have know you guys were here."
