Swarm Removal & Honey Bee Relocation
Have honey bees gathering in a tree, on a fence, or around your building? We offer humane honey bee swarm removal and relocation for both residential and commercial properties.
A swarm is usually temporary. Bees rest while searching for a new home but when they settle in an inconvenient spot, we can safely collect and relocate them to a managed hive whenever possible.
What We Can Help With
- Honey bee swarms in yards, trees, fences, sheds, eaves, or structures
- Swarms on residential or commercial properties
- Swarms located indoors or outdoors
- Situations that are safely accessible by ladder
Important: We provide services for honey bees only. We do not remove or handle wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, or other non-honey bee species.
Important Notes
- Swarm access must be safe and reachable by ladder
- We can access hives located within walls, roofs, or other structures when demolition or roofing access is required; however, we do not perform structural repairs
- Any repairs or restoration needed after hive removal must be handled by the homeowner or a licensed contractor. Our role is to safely access the hive and relocate the bees—we do not provide repair or reconstruction services
- Rates vary based on location, access, height, time required, and urgency
- Availability is seasonal and dependent on swarm activity
Why Relocation Matters
Honey bees are vital pollinators. When possible, we choose relocation over extermination giving the bees a chance to continue their role in the ecosystem while restoring peace of mind to your space.
If You’re Unsure
Not sure if what you’re seeing is a swarm? Reach out anyway. We’re happy to help identify the situation and guide you on next steps.
Call or Text Us
If you have bees in an area you don’t want them, contact us as soon as possible. Swarms are often easiest to relocate when addressed early.
