Spring and summer is the time in Oklahoma that you could find yourself suddenly dealing with a swarm of bees. They may be attached to a tree limb, or your house or property.
Your first reaction may be to poison these bees with household chemicals. Please don’t. The good news is Pittsburg County has lots of beekeepers that would love to take that swarm off your hands!
Here are a couple of phone numbers to help you: Keep McAlester Beautiful, 918-424-9988 or The Pittsburg County OSU extension office, 918-423-4120. We know many beekeepers and they can safely remove your swarm. You get the added benefit of knowing you have helped the bees, not killed them.
