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
