ThrashGoth - Environmental, Entomology and Botanical Blogger

As you might have guessed, I'm a big music fan, primarily listening to heavy music. I also enjoy reading philosophical books and taking time to learn more about the natural environment around us, as I regularly study Entomology & Botany Wiki. Other than Botany and Entomology, Beekeeping is another hobby of mine that I've picked up over the last few months.

See a Honey Bee Swarm?...Call us at SCBA!

We are here to help and fast! 

If you see a honey bee swarm, please call us immediately (click link below) as we have a team of SCBA members committed to remove and relocate them for you. Now is the season to expect to see swarms. 

When they do swarm it may look similar to the picture above. They may appear alarming, but they are quite calm, as they have nothing to defend and are just looking for somewhere new to live. Thank you for allowing the Summit County Beekeepers to help find a new home for the honey bees!
