The Crew Behind Miami-Dade's Live Bee Removals

Why live removal and nothing else

Honey bees pollinate a long list of the plants South Florida grows, from backyard avocado and lychee trees to the groves and nurseries down in the Redland. Killing a colony solves the problem for a few weeks and leaves the comb behind. Taking it out alive solves it for good and keeps the bees working somewhere they are wanted.

So we do not sell extermination, and we do not spray colonies in walls. Every job ends with the bees boxed up for a beekeeper.

One county, all of it

We work Miami-Dade and nowhere else. That covers condo towers on the barrier islands, older bungalows in the city's neighborhoods, gated communities in the west, and farm buildings in the south. Keeping to one county is how we can promise a response within 24 hours of every call.

What every job includes

• The colony leaves alive

  Bees, brood and comb are moved together and handed to a beekeeper.

• A look before any cutting

  A heat camera traces the warm brood nest through the surface before a single cut is made.

• The cavity is cleared

  Every scrap of wax and honey leaves with us, so nothing sours in the cavity.

• The entry is closed

  Should a new colony test our patch, the crew makes a return trip.

• Proof when you need it

  Certificates of insurance, photos and itemized invoices on request.

What you can hold us to

Our workmanship is warrantied, which means a return trip if bees get back into any opening we closed. Boards and landlords who want a paper trail can get a COI before the visit, then job photos and a line-by-line invoice after it. If you call at 3 a.m., someone answers. Those are the promises; anything else would be marketing.
