Most days, seeing a few bees on flowers is a sign of a healthy yard. It becomes a concern when you notice a constant stream of bees slipping into a tiny gap in the siding, or a buzzing cluster hanging near a doorway, patio, or play area. At that point, it is hard to relax outside or let kids and pets roam freely.
Whenever it is safe and realistic, we recommend live bee removal and relocation rather than simply wiping out the colony. You get your outdoor spaces back, and a healthy group of pollinators can continue their work in a more suitable place.
If bees are close to doors, walkways, pools, play sets, or work areas, we treat the situation with urgency. From the first call through the final cleanup, you can expect a steady, professional approach and clear explanations of every step.
Bee issues do not all look the same. A temporary swarm resting on a branch is very different from a hive that has been active inside a wall for months. Plant It Earth offers several types of bee removal so we can match the service to your situation.
A swarm often appears suddenly. One morning you step outside and see a large cluster of bees gathered on a tree limb, fence, mailbox, or even a porch rail. It is a powerful sight and can be alarming, but a swarm is usually focused on finding a permanent home rather than defending its temporary resting spot.
This is the best time to call Plant It Earth. If the swarm decides to move into a wall cavity, soffit, or roof space, removal becomes more complex and more expensive. When we are contacted early, we can often collect the swarm in a straightforward visit and leave your yard calm again.
During a swarm visit, we confirm that you are dealing with honey bees, gently collect the cluster, and reduce scent where practical so future swarms are less likely to choose the same location.
If bees have been using the same area for a while, there is almost always more going on than a few insects at an entrance hole. Inside the structure, there may be comb, honey, brood, and wax tucked into a hidden space. Spraying the opening or sealing the gap may quiet the surface activity for a short time, but it does not solve the underlying problem and can create new issues such as leaks, odors, or secondary pests.
Plant It Earth treats hive removal as both a safety and structural project. We locate the hive, estimate its size and age, and select the most sensible way to access it. Then we remove bees and comb in a careful, controlled way and clean up honey and residue so the area is less appealing to future colonies.
Our goal is not just to stop the buzzing. It is to leave you with a clean, dry, stable space that is ready for repair.
Some situations feel urgent from the moment you see them. Bees over a front step, near a pool deck, around a play area, or along a busy path can create real concern, especially if anyone nearby has allergies or a history of reactions.
For these cases, Plant It Earth 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 choose the safest and most effective method for removing or relocating the bees based on what we find on site.
During an emergency visit, our focus is simple. Lower the chance of stings, keep the situation calm, and remove the hazard in a steady, professional manner.
Bee removal is not a one price service. The cost depends on what we find when we assess your property. 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 not yet inside a structure are usually simpler and more affordable to handle. Hives that have been active behind walls or in roof spaces require more time, care, and cleanup.
When you contact Plant It Earth, we start with a few focused questions and, when helpful, review photos you can share. 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.
Even though every property is different, our bee removal process follows a clear path so you know what to expect from start to finish.
Step
1
We begin with inspection and assessment. This may include a phone conversation, photos, and an in person visit. We identify entry points, listen for hive activity, and determine whether we are dealing with a swarm or an established hive.
Step
2
Next, we perform 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 gone, we remove comb, honey, and residue. This helps reduce scent that can draw new colonies to the same spot and makes the area easier to repair.
Step
4
Finally, we review what we found and share practical prevention tips, such as sealing small gaps, adjusting outdoor lighting, or making minor changes in landscaping that can make your property less inviting to future colonies.
Many areas have guidelines or regulations that encourage the protection of bees and other pollinators. Plant It Earth 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 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 usually recommend that pets and children stay indoors while we work and for a short time afterward. Because we focus on physical removal and low toxicity methods, the service is designed to be as safe and gentle as possible.
