If you are a member of SOBA, you can request to be added to the Swarm Call List for the current year.

Be sure that you Join SOBA before submitting this request.

It is the policy of the Southern Oregon Beekeepers Association (SOBA) that any swarm sent out to the swarm call list becomes affiliated with SOBA , and members who respond to the swarm call are representing SOBA. This means the beekeeper should represent SOBA in a professional manner and with the highest ethical standards.

Remember that collecting swarms is a service to our community; priority is placed on getting to the swarm as fast as possible, not on ensuring that all swarm list members get bees.

Please review the Swarm Call Policy in the Club Documents.

We would appreciate it if you would consider answering the three questions at the bottom of the form.. We are gathering data on the health of the swarms caught in our area, and on the reasons that so many people on the Swarm Call List last year did not respond to the requests to get swarms.  Thank You!
