Colorado Beekeeping Associations with Swarm Hotlines
In many areas of the state there are Swarm Hotlines that can connect you with a local beekeeper. If arrangements can be made, the swarms may then be removed and housed in a managed apiary.
The statewide hotline established by the Colorado Beekeepers Association is 1-844-779-2337 (844-SPY-BEES) This system will then try to route you to a local beekeeper who has expressed willingness to collect swarms.
However, it is often more direct to go through the swarm collection system set up by regional beekeeping associations in the state. Several such associations exist and a list of those that have their own Swarm Hotlines follows:
