Honey bee removal services
Before you call a beekeeper, be prepared to answer these questions:
-
Are you sure the insects are honey bees?
-
Where are the bees located? Are they in a cluster on the side of a tree or building or car? This is often a free, simple bee swarm removal.
-
Are they flying in and out of a hole in a building and appear to have been doing so for some time? Bees that are living inside a structure often require construction work to remove them and prevent them from returning to the space - thus a fee is usually involved.
-
How high off the ground is the swarm? The higher the swarm, the more complicated the removal process.
-
Do you own the property where the bees are?
Removing a simple bee swarm for free
Beekeepers use the term swarm when a queen and a colony of bees leave their existing home to find a new home. The queen will often land somewhere to rest nearby. The bees cluster around her to protect her as other bees fly off to find potential new homes. This is a temporary situation. Depending on the weather, the queen and the bees will move on to a new home within a day or two.
The following CEBA members are available to remove simple bee swarms for free. If you call one of these beekeepers and leave a message and don't receive a call back within 30 minutes, please feel free to call another beekeeper.
