Following demand from Grass Valley and Nevada City residents, The Bee Conservatory has extended its free swarm removal program to Nevada County, adding six new certified beekeeper volunteers and bringing the total service area to 35 cities across four counties.
The Bee Conservatory's 2025 Annual Impact Report documents 312 swarm rescues, 207 hive placements, and 4.8 acres of new native wildflower habitat seeded across Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, and Yolo counties during the calendar year.
A three-year partnership with Sacramento City Unified and Elk Grove Unified school districts will deliver live beekeeping assemblies, classroom observation hives, and NGSS-aligned curriculum to more than 40 classrooms annually beginning in the 2025–26 school year.
The Bee Conservatory launched its Sponsor-a-Hive fundraising program, allowing donors to fund placement of a specific colony on conservation land. Each sponsored hive includes GPS coordinates, quarterly health updates, and an annual honey sample for the sponsoring donor.
When a swarm of honeybees settled on a Midtown fence last April, the homeowner called an exterminator. Then a neighbor suggested The Bee Conservatory — and within hours, a certified beekeeper arrived to relocate the colony to a wildflower habitat site instead. That service, at no cost to the homeowner, is now available in more than 30 Sacramento-area cities.
The Bee Conservatory has relocated more than 300 bee colonies in the past year alone. Their team of volunteer beekeepers responds to swarm reports within 24 hours, removing colonies from homes, fences, and commercial properties without chemicals and placing them in permanent habitat sites.
Inside a Rancho Cordova classroom, 28 fourth-graders are peering through the plexiglass window of an observation hive, watching worker bees move in slow circles around capped brood cells. Their teacher, who requested the program through The Bee Conservatory, says it is the most engaged her students have been all year.
