Humane swarm collection and live bee removal for homeowners and property managers across the Cumberland Plateau. We relocate your bees safely so they keep doing what they do best.
Honey bees are worth saving. A colony that’s moved and managed contributes to the local ecosystem — one that’s exterminated is just gone. We have the equipment, experience, and apiary space to give removed colonies a second chance.
Whether it’s a swarm in a tree or bees inside a wall, we assess the situation honestly and give you a clear picture of what’s involved before any work begins.
A fresh swarm clustered in a tree, shrub, or on a structure is usually straightforward to collect. The sooner you call, the easier it is — swarms don't stay put for long.
Bees established inside a wall, soffit, chimney, or outbuilding require a more involved removal. We extract the colony and comb alive and relocate them to our apiary.
For colonies that have been in a structure long enough to build significant comb, we perform a full cutout — removing bees, comb, and honey to prevent future pest and moisture problems.

Rooted in Crossville and the surrounding Cumberland Plateau, TLC Apiary brings hands-on experience with the region’s humidity, late frosts, and summer droughts to every removal.
We’ve handled removals from farmhouses, barns, soffits, and tree cavities across the area — and every colony we rescue goes into our care, not a dumpster.

Don’t wait — swarms move on and established colonies get harder to remove over time. Reach out and we’ll take it from there.
