Our Story

 Toronto Bee Rescue is a family business operated by Peter Chorabik. Inspired by 3 generations of hobby beekeepers in Peter’s family, he decided to carry on the tradition. Beginning with just 2 hives in 2012, we never imagined we would be where we are today. Today, he manage over 600 hives across the GTA.

Toronto Bee Rescue was created early in our beekeeping career. He began by posting an ad to a classified site advertising the free removal of honeybee swarms and the requests began pouring in. He realized that there was a need for humane honeybee relocation services and Toronto Bee Rescue was born. 

Expanding beyond swarm removals, he began offering the relocation of established honeybee colonies, hive sharing, and hive hosting programs. Driven by his love for honeybees and the essential role they play in our environment, he became determined to protect and support the honeybee population in Toronto. 

We look forward to further developing programs and rescuing honeybees with Toronto Bee Rescue. To everyone who has contacted us to report a honeybee swarm or colony, we thank you. Without you, none of this would be possible.
