Structural Beehive Removal / Extractions

Why should you have your bees removed from your structure by a beekeeper?

• First, if you simply spray and kill the bees, you leave all the supporting hive structure in place. This is composed of beeswax, honey, pollen, larvae, pupae and bees. Honey is the single finest source of carbohydrates in the world. You have now left it unprotected by the bees. You essentially traded one insect for a host of both insects and animals seeking this nutrition and these “critters” will find this food source. Therefore, it is important to remove the bees AND their residence.
• Second, the larvae and pupae will die leaving the uncured nectar to ferment causing issues with both odor and mold. With no temperature regulation by the bees, the honey, nectar and wax will melt and can find its way into your home, potentially dripping through outlets, air ducts and window frames.
• Finally, the honey in the hive will be ruined.

So, we encourage you to do it right the first time by calling a professional hive remover (most likely they’ll even be happy to give you some of the honey!).
