Six doorways bees use on a typical Miami-Dade home

Bees want a dry, dark cavity with a small doorway. Florida homes offer plenty of them. Tap a number to see how that spot gets opened, cleared and closed.

1Tile & Flat Roof HivesGaps under barrel and flat tile lead to the deck and attic.
2Soffit, Fascia & Eave HivesVented panels and loose fascia corners.
3Bees in Block & Frame WallsHollow block cells and frame wall bays behind the stucco.

How a removal goes, start to finish

You reach us
Call or text any hour. Mention how long you have noticed them, and send a picture of the hole they use if you can.
We look before we cut
On site, a thermal camera and a few taps on the surface show where the comb sits, so the opening stays as small as it can be.
The colony comes out alive
Bees, brood and comb are lifted out by hand and boxed. Nothing gets sprayed into the cavity.
The cavity is cleaned and sealed
Leftover honey and wax are scraped out so nothing ferments or draws the next swarm, then the entry is closed.
Repairs, if you want them
Stucco patching, tile resetting and paint touch-ups stay with our own licensed contractors, roofers and painters.

Straight numbers

What most people end up paying

Jobs you can reach from the ground, with the colony close to the surface, usually come to about $300 to $400. Colonies high on a roof, deep in a ceiling or spread through several wall bays take longer and often need rebuilding, so those climb into the thousands. You pay nothing for the quote, which comes before anything is opened.

Emergency trips at night and over the weekend carry a higher rate than weekday appointments. For your files, ask and we will send photos of the work and an itemized invoice.

Before you call

If I leave them alone, do the bees eventually move out?

A swarm hanging in the open usually moves on within a day or so once its scouts pick a new home. A colony that is already building comb inside a wall or roof is staying. It will keep growing until someone takes the comb out.

Can I spray them and be done with it?

Spraying kills the bees you can see but leaves the comb, the honey and the dead brood inside the cavity. That mess can ferment, stain, attract other pests and pull in a new swarm. Live removal lifts out the wax and honey along with the bees.

Do you kill the bees?

No. Extermination is not something we sell. The comb, brood and adult bees go into a box together and end up in a beekeeper's yard.

Do I have to be home?

Not always. For a swarm outside or a box in the yard, a gate code and a phone call are often enough. For work that opens a wall or a ceiling, someone needs to let us in and sign off on the plan.
