Ross’s Bees

Bees were entering the balcony wall of this condo – and needed to be removed. The walls are appx. 1″ thick cement/stucco – so I had to use a special blade to open the wall to access the comb.

Once their void-space was opened – these bees were VERY docile.

After the […]

Royal Bees….

Royalty? No… These bees were highly aggressive when it was time to remove them from their home. At the peak of a 2nd floor soffit – protected from the sun by a high tree canopy.

The comb went about 2 feet over the living space of the house – as well as over […]

“What if I just leave the bees in my house?”

(note: Click photos for larger view)

I often am asked : What will happen if I just leave the bees”, or “What if we wait?”.

Condo Bees

The tenant in this condo has seen bee activity since he moved in last November. Given the number of holes in the side of the building – I am not surprised at all. He had a sticky spot on the upstairs wall of his home – which alerted him to the possibility of honeybees in […]

Luckily, he called around and called me for the live removal of the bees.

The garage wing – […]

Bathtub Bees

The homeowners had been unable to enjoy their back yard, as honeybees had taken up residence in a wall facing their back yard.

When evaluating the honeybees, I noticed that the wall had a bathroom on the inside – with the tub located to the inside of where the bees were entering. When I put […]

Roof-Top Bee Removal

This client called me to look at the bees last summer. She was not ready at the time to have them removed – so called me recently with the green-light to proceed.

In the past, someone had sprayed expanding foam into the entrance of the beehive. Unfortunately, honeybees can chew their way through the cured […]

911 Swarm Factory

Last week, I received a call from a customer who had been referred to me by the 911 dispatcher on the other end of his frantic phone call about a swarm of bees in his tree. I removed the swarm fairly quickly – and as I was about to leave he says “My neighbor has […]
