Good morning!
I'm not sure if you meant to reach out to Delaware County, PA Extension. You have reached the New Castle County, DE Extension.
I, unfortunately, only have contacts for Delaware beekeepers. I would suggest either reaching out to your Extension office or searching for a Chester County PA Beekeepers Association. If there is such an organization, they often will come out and collect honey bee hives from properties.
Hope this helps and best of luck!
