Honey bees in your yard, wall, or roof?

Send a few photos from a safe distance. I’ll help identify what you have and explain the next step.

Include your city, approximate height, and how long the bees have been there.

Swarm collection

A visible cluster on a branch, fence, or outdoor object may be a swarm looking for a home. Send a close photo and a wider view showing access.

Quote based on location, height, and access. Confirm availability before making arrangements.

Structural removal

Bees repeatedly entering a wall, soffit, roof, or shed may have an established nest inside. These jobs require an assessment of the colony and the building.

Individually quoted after assessment. Access, colony location, removal work, and repair arrangements affect the scope.

How an assessment works

  1. Send photos and details. Include the entrance or cluster, a wider view, your city, height, and when you first noticed activity.
  2. Review the proposed work. We’ll discuss identification, access, timing, and what can be established from photos versus an on-site assessment.
  3. Agree on scope before work starts. Confirm the price, any opening of the structure, comb removal, cleanup, sealing, and who handles repairs.

The goal is removal and relocation to a managed apiary whenever possible. Outcomes depend on the colony and access.

While you wait: avoid spraying or sealing an active entrance. Keep people and pets away, and take photos without approaching the colony. For a severe allergic reaction, call 911.

Before you book

Are wall or roof repairs included?

Do not assume repairs are included. Opening and restoring a structure, sealing, and contractor involvement must be agreed in the quote before work begins.

Do you remove wasps or yellowjackets?

This service is for honey bees. Send a photo if you’re unsure; wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets may need a pest-control provider.

Do you cover my city?

Inquire about locations across the Denver metro and nearby Front Range. Share your city or ZIP code so travel and availability can be confirmed.

A clear view and your location make the first conversation much easier.
