🐝 BEEKEEPER NEEDED! 🐝
**Update they have been contacted! (10 am)

Summerfield Baptist Church reached out to our office this morning because they have bees in the walls of the church. Before calling an exterminator, they would really like to see if a local beekeeper may be interested in checking out the situation and possibly removing the bees.

If you are a beekeeper and would be interested in helping, please send us a message and we can get you connected with the church!

Please share so we can hopefully find someone who can help save the bees! 🐝
