Congrats on the bees ;-) How long have they been there? If they just arrived, it’s a temporary swarm and they’ll move on in a day or two. Regardless, you can call the City’s 311 # to report a bee swarm. The City has a list of local beekeepers who will snatch up swarms of honeybees. Of course… these kids may not be honeybees, sometimes it’s hard to tell.

Hope that helps!

We live on the Westside of Albuquerque and we have a huge colony of honey bees that have implanted themselves in a group of rocks on the ground next to our house. I would hate to exterminate them and would really appreciate some guidance on what we can do to have them removed without killing them. call me ASAP 505-908-0985

We picked up a good-sized swarm in an old residential neighbourhood yesterday morning and would love to know where the hive is that they came from. Any hive that can cast a four-pound swarm after the wet, cold, spring that we’ve had must be doing well.
