Frequently Asked Questions:
First, stay calm and keep people and pets away from the area where the bees are active until the situation is resolved. Then, contact us and share as many details as you can about the bees and the hive. We’ll ask if you can see the hive, what the bees look like, and where they’re entering.
If possible, please take a photo of the bees and send it to us, it helps us assess the situation more quickly and accurately.
Yes! We are active beekeepers dedicated to saving and relocating honey bees safely. However, because wasps and hornets in the area can pose risks to people, pets, and even honeybee colonies, we also provide extermination services for those pests to protect everyone involved.
Not necessarily. While past occurrences can be concerning, it’s important to remember that they don’t usually dictate future infestations. For more details, you can read why past infestations don’t dictate future ones.
Try watching the bees’ flight patterns, they often fly directly to and from their nest, which can help you locate it. Keep in mind the nest might be nearby but not necessarily on your property. You can also use wasp traps to reduce their numbers while you monitor. If you’re still unsure, feel free to contact us for advice or an assessment.
No. There is no spray or treatment that can prevent bees or wasps from entering your property throughout the season. Bees and wasps are free-flying insects that can travel significant distances from their nests to forage. While specific nests can be treated or removed when located, no treatment can create a barrier that stops all bees or wasps in your yard. If there is no nest on your property, there is generally little that can be done to prevent their presence. Any company claiming to create a completely bee-free yard for months at a time is setting unrealistic expectations.
Unfortunately, no method can guarantee that bees or wasps will not build a nest on your property. While reducing attractive nesting sites may help lower the chances, these insects can establish nests in a many different locations.. The most effective approach is regular monitoring and addressing nests early once they are discovered.
Usually it takes 3 – 7 days after treatment or removal.

Our guarantees depend on the species involved. For most bees, wasps, and hornets, we offer a seasonal guarantee and if a follow-up visit is needed within that period, it’s included in the initial cost. However, some species have behaviors that make guarantees impossible, and in those cases, we’ll explain the situation upfront.
Most of the time, we can assess the situation over the phone and provide a quote once we know the type of bees or hive involved with no visit needed upfront. However, sometimes we do need to come to your property to identify the bees or evaluate the hive. In those cases, a visit (come-out) fee will apply, which we’ll discuss and agree on beforehand.
