Seeing a few bees around your shrubs or garden is part of a healthy landscape. It becomes a concern when you notice a steady line of bees disappearing into a crack in the siding, a soffit, or a tree cavity near where people spend time. At that point, it is hard to relax on the patio or let kids and pets roam freely.
Whenever conditions allow, we recommend live bee removal and relocation instead of simply eliminating the colony. That way, you regain safe use of your property and a healthy group of pollinators can continue their work in a better location.
If bees are close to doors, walkways, play areas, pools, or outdoor work spaces, we treat the situation with urgency. From your first call through final cleanup, you can expect a calm, professional approach and clear explanations at every step.
Bee problems can appear in different forms. A temporary swarm resting on a branch needs a different approach than a hive that has been hidden inside a wall for months. Scientific Plant Services offers several types of bee removal so we can match the service to your specific situation.
A swarm often shows up out of nowhere. One day the yard looks normal. The next day you see a large, moving cluster of bees on a tree limb, fence, mailbox, or building surface. It is an impressive sight and understandably concerning, but a swarm is usually in search mode, looking for a permanent home.
This is the ideal time to call Scientific Plant Services. If that swarm chooses a wall cavity, soffit, or roof space as its new home, removal becomes more complex and more costly. When we are contacted early, we can often collect the swarm in a straightforward visit, with minimal disruption to your property.
During a swarm visit, we confirm that you are dealing with honey bees and not another stinging insect, carefully collect the cluster, and reduce scent where practical so future swarms are less likely to choose the same area.
If bees have been using one location for an extended period, there is usually far more behind the surface than what you see at the entrance. Inside the structure there may be comb, brood, honey, and wax built into a hidden space. Spraying the opening or sealing the gap may quiet visible activity for a time, but it does not remove the hive and can create new issues such as leaks, stains, odors, or secondary pests.
Scientific Plant Services treats hive removal as both a safety issue and a structural project. We locate the hive, estimate its size and age, and choose the most sensible way to access it. Then we carefully remove bees and comb and clean up honey and residue so the area is less attractive to future colonies.
Our goal is not only to stop the buzzing, but to leave you with a clean, dry, stable space that is ready for repair and less likely to draw another hive.
Some bee situations feel urgent from the moment you notice them. Bees near front steps, walkways, pool decks, play equipment, or employee entrances can create real concern, especially if anyone nearby has allergies or a history of reactions.
For these cases, Scientific Plant Services offers priority scheduling and, when possible, rapid or same day service. When we arrive, we begin by securing the immediate area and keeping people away from the highest risk zone. Then we select the safest and most effective method for removing or relocating the bees based on what we find.
During an emergency visit, our focus is clear: lower the chance of stings, keep the situation calm, and remove the hazard in a steady, professional way.
Bee removal is not a single price service. The cost depends on what we find during our assessment. A few key factors include whether you are dealing with a temporary swarm or an established hive, how accessible the location is, and whether we need to open part of a wall, soffit, or roof to reach the colony.
Swarms that are still outside and have not yet moved into a structure are usually simpler and more affordable to handle. Hives that have been active inside walls or roof spaces require more time, care, and cleanup.
When you contact Scientific Plant Services, we begin with a few focused questions and, when possible, review photos you can provide. If an on site inspection is needed, we schedule that next. Once we understand the situation, we explain the recommended approach and provide clear pricing so you can make an informed decision before any work begins.
Although each property is unique, our bee removal process follows a clear sequence so you know what to expect from start to finish.
Step
1
We begin with inspection and assessment. This may include a phone conversation, review of photos, and an in person visit. We identify entry points, listen for hive activity, and determine whether the issue is a swarm or an established hive.
Step
2
Next, we carry out the removal. That might involve gently collecting a swarm, opening a small section of structure, or accessing a roof line. Throughout this step we focus on containing or relocating the bees and keeping nearby people and pets safe.
Step
3
Once the bees are removed, we address comb, honey, and residue. This helps reduce scent that can attract new colonies to the same spot and makes the area easier to repair.
Step
4
Finally, we review what we found and provide practical prevention tips, such as sealing gaps, adjusting outdoor lighting, or making small changes in landscaping that can make your property less appealing to future colonies.
Many regions have guidelines or regulations that encourage the protection of bees and other pollinators. Scientific Plant Services follows all applicable rules and favors relocation and low toxicity methods whenever they can be used safely.
Our first choice is always live removal and relocation. In most situations, that approach is both possible and recommended. If we encounter a situation where relocation is not safe or realistic, we explain the reasons and use the most targeted and least harmful option available.
Response time depends on the season, current schedule, and how urgent your situation is. Active swarms or bees near busy entries, walkways, or play areas are treated as higher priority. When you call, we are direct about timing and work to offer the soonest appropriate visit.
If hive material, honey, and scent are left behind, other bees can be attracted to the same area. That is why our service includes hive removal and cleanup where possible, along with suggestions to help keep the space less appealing in the future.
Our process is planned with families and pets in mind. We typically recommend that pets and children stay indoors while we work and for a short period afterward. Because we focus on physical removal and low toxicity methods, the service is designed to be as safe and gentle as possible.
If you are beginning to notice bee activity around your home or business, it is easier and safer to address it early.
