Honey Bee Removal

Bees in a wall, a soffit, a shed, a tree, or a swarm hanging in your yard? I remove honey bees and, whenever possible, relocate them to a managed apiary instead of destroying them.

What I handle:

How it works: tell me where you are and what you see through the contact page. I will ask for photos, tell you what you are dealing with and what the job involves, then schedule the removal.

Until I get there: do not spray the bees, and do not seal the opening. Blocking the entrance can trap the colony inside, and the bees and melting honey can end up inside your home. Keep kids and pets away from the area. If anyone has been stung and has trouble breathing, call 911.

Colonies in structures get bigger and harder to remove every week, so the sooner you call, the better. I work with honey bees. Wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets are a job for a pest control company.

Read my guide to structural honey bee removal for bees in a wall, roof, or soffit.

Pricing available on request.

Beekeeping Mentorship

One on one, hands on guidance from someone who is in the hives every week. Whether you are deciding if beekeeping is for you or you already have colonies and a problem, we work on your actual hives and your actual questions.

Adopt a Hive

Sponsor a hive and follow it through the season. You support pollinators and local beekeeping, and you get a front row seat to what happens inside a working colony. Sponsorships are open to individuals, families, and businesses.

Apitherapy Education

An introduction to apitherapy: what it is, where it comes from, and how the hive makes its products. This is education, not treatment.

I teach the basics only. I do not offer bee venom therapy or live bee stings, and nothing on this site is medical advice. Talk with your doctor about any health concern.
