Tom Lindeman is:
- A student/observer of honey bees” in central-eastern Pennsylvania (village of Egypt) and has been assisting and consulting in swarm relocations, making new friends, and sharing “Bee Talk” presentations with civic, education, and fraternal groups. Tom believes there is much to learn from the honey bee “superorganism” behaviors and how they can be applied to humans. He maintains an actively-managed website, www.Dedkosbees.com
- a retired career educator, specializing in education of the deaf/hearing impaired, as well as a supervisor of education programs for adjudicated youth.

Tom recently became a Xerces Society Ambassador (Xerces.org) and is always eager to share his knowledge about the importance of conserving invertebrate species in the ecosystem. Available presentation topics include “Bring Back the Pollinators” and “Monarch Conservation 101”. An informal “tabling” event can also be provided to share information.
He also is an Advocate for DarkSky International (DarkSky.org) and educates about the importance of reducing the effects of light pollution in the environment.

“Conserving the diversity of invertebrates is the biggest job in the world.”-Robert Michael Pyle
A retired beekeeper in Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. I am a member of the Pennsylvania State Beekeepers Association (PSBA), the Lehigh Valley Beekeepers Association (LVBA), the New Jersey Beekeepers Association (Raritan Valley), the American Beekeeping Federation, and the Eastern Apicultural Society.
I am offering my consultation services to assist in relocating swarms of honey bees in the “northern tier” areas of Lehigh and Northampton counties, Pennsylvania (see Home page map for specifics).
Typically, the majority of swarming activities occur between mid-April to mid-July, with the highest incidence in May and June. However, I have seen swarms before April and as late as the last week of September.
As people have a natural apprehension to being stung, I understand the average person’s reluctance to interact with bees, especially with the large numbers found in a typical swarm.
