To successfully and safely remove bees from a structure, carpentry skills and beekeeping knowledge are required. Professional beekeepers who have a valid license and insurance should handle the removal of bees. The use of specialist tools and equipment is required for this type of skilled work. This service is not free. There is a price for removing the bees from these unwanted areas, which you may learn more about here. Bees, like any other pet, necessitate the use of specialized tools and resources (such as hives, frames, and a lot of time). In order to produce honey and keep the hive free of disease and swarming, bees must also be properly cared for and controlled.
Why do beekeepers charge for the removal of live bees?
There are two methods of honeybee removal:
- Swarm Removal
- Removal of an Established Colony
If a colony of bees has just arrived, it is most likely a swarm.
“swarm” can be [...]
What is the cost of bee removal?
We may be quoted with a few simple questions and photographs most of the time. Our services start as little as $325+taxes and can go as high as $2k; however, we can usually offer a good estimate figure based on the initial inspection.
Bee removal costs are affected by a variety of factors.
It will depend on several important aspects of how much your bee nest removal will ultimately cost. The most expensive component of bee removal is generally the expense of fixing the areas of your home that the bees have harmed.
We will go through each of these price elements with you and explain how they affect the overall cost of bee removal so that there are no unpleasant surprises when you receive your bill.
Various types of bees
You may be charged differently depending on the type of bee you have. For several reasons, this [...]
When bees are mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is a sting and honey. Although bee stings can be quite painful, bees are not pests. They are an essential part of our ecosystem.
Sadly, bees are in grave danger, and if we don’t take care of bees, they will soon be no more. Bees are becoming a fast-declining species, primarily due to increased pesticide use, and we need to save them from becoming extinct.
Our guide will discuss the importance of bees and how you can help save them
Why are Bees Important?
Bees are fantastic animals, and here is how they are essential both to us and to the environment:
1.- They Help in Pollination
Bees are the leading agent of pollination. Interestingly, our diet is highly reliant [...]
Bees are undoubtedly a crucial part of our natural biodiversity, especially since they are instrumental in the continuous growth of plants. After all, they’re the ones that transfer pollen from one plant to another.
However, important as they are, they can also be quite a problem, especially with an infestation. They can even be incredibly dangerous for those who are allergic to bee stings. However, it can be tough to identify if you have a bee infestation in your home if you don’t know the signs.
With that said, check out this article to learn more about the signs of a bee infestation and why you need to get rid of them.
- There are suddenly a high number of bees.
One of the first bee infestation signs is that [...]
What to do?
Now that you have a bee problem.Roses are red, violets are blue, spring has arrived, bees have come too. Yes, bees are here to make the world go around, and they will not stop when the right goal is on sight (well, only a good night sleep might be the excuse for a small break). But even the hard working bees can get tired, and they need to rest properly. In order to sleep properly they need a proper space for them to sleep. And guess what’s the trend in bee resorts currently? That’s correct: roofs and houses. Basically, and most probably, your house.
You must be thinking “certainly that will never happen to me” but it’s way more common than you can imagine. So what do you do if a beehive is in your house? Here’s a little guide than can help you out managing this situation.
First of all, do not try to remove them by your own. [...]
So spring arrived, the flowers blossom and everything is sunny and shinny in these days. The perfect time for our black & yellow friends to do what they’re best known for: make the world go around.
By this time, you must have seen a lot of bees in a daily basis. This is normal. The season invites bees to fly around, visit flower after flower and, of course, build their hives.
For the next three to four months, you’re probably going to be sharing with bees more than a special taste for honey. This is the time when bees look for cozy and warm places to construct their homes (whether you like it or not).
Alright, we get it: it’s definitely not the best case scenario to share so much of your space with a Beehive in your roof, your attic or basement.But it’s also not in the planet [...]
Bees are a crucial part of the ecosystem, pollinating flowers and crops, and producing honey. Still, bees can be a pain – literally and figuratively – when they decide to build a hive on your property. And, they can be highly dangerous; especially if any of your family members or guests are allergic to bee stings.
There is a difference to having a bee problem, and just having a couple of bee visitors. Seeing a bee or two flying around doesn’t mean you have a problem, but if you frequently notice bees clustering or swarming around a specific area of your home or business, there’s probably a hive nearby. It is very important to note to never kill bees on your own. Bee control can be very dangerous and should always be conducted by a trained professional.
But how much does professional bee removal cost? What should you expect to pay?
Well, a [...]
How would you feel waking up to a wall dripping with sweet, juicy honey? No, you’re not dreaming; you are not in some kind of weird fantasy either. You are staring at your new neighbors making themselves at home: hundreds of live, buzzing bees already making your bedroom wall their new hive!
This exact same situation happened to a woman who lives in Spring, Texas. She found herself in a sticky situation after roofers came and discovered a huge bee problem. The bees were not just making themselves at home within her roof but were also creating honey within her walls. To make things worse, contractors wouldn’t touch her roof unless the bee problem was resolved.
The woman called a local bee removal service to deal with the problem. The specialists evaluated the problem and found that honey was coming from the cracks and crevices in the crown molding. The contractors smoked and pulled out [...]
Bees are magnificent creatures who are often taken for granted, especially when they decide to set up shop too close to your home or office. While they might not get along with humans all of the time, they are still fascinating.
Their distinctive “buzz” is produced by the beating of their wings, which move at up to 200 beats per second. Bees visit 50+ flowers per day, collecting nectar for honey, and each worker bee can make about 1/12 teaspoon of honey in their lifetime, which can be up to 5 months.
Did you know that hives travel? A hive has been recorded traveling up to 90,000 miles for honey.
Bees aren’t always our favorite creatures, but they are certainly among the most interesting! If you have a bee problem, contact us today.
Those little buzzing bees are doing more than just flying from flower to flower, harvesting nectar for honey. While they’re at work, they’re also pollinating. Pollinating might seem like a small act, but the sum of pollination provides much of our food sources today.
In fact, a third of the foods we eat every single day depend upon pollination. While there are other creatures able to pollinate, bees are the main ones.
Without bees, we’d no longer have honey. Cows would no longer have their favorite foods, and they would die. Many fruits and vegetable would go extinct. While bees are tiny, they are crucial to the food chain!
