Live Bee Removal in Lighthouse Point, FL: 60,000+ Honey Bees Safely Relocated

The colony was estimated to contain more than 60,000 honey bees, making this much more than a small swarm removal. The bees had established a large, active colony high on the property, requiring our team to use specialized equipment and extensive bee removal experience to safely reach them.

Rather than exterminating the bees, GotBeez carefully removed and relocated the colony.

A Challenging Two-Story Bee Removal in Lighthouse Point

Bee colonies don't always choose convenient places to build their homes.

On this Lighthouse Point bee removal, the colony was located approximately 24 feet above the ground on a two-story house. Reaching the bees required our crew to climb a two-story ladder and work at height while dealing with tens of thousands of active honey bees.

This is one of the reasons homeowners should be extremely careful about attempting to remove an established bee colony themselves.

What may look like a small number of bees entering and exiting an area can be connected to a much larger colony.

In this case, we estimated the colony at 60,000+ honey bees.

Once our team reached the colony, we were able to perform the removal while focusing on safely relocating the bees rather than simply killing them.

Why Live Bee Removal Is Different From Bee Extermination

When homeowners discover a large bee colony around their house, their first thought is often, "How do I get rid of these bees?"

But extermination isn't always necessary.

GotBeez specializes in live bee removal and honey bee relocation in Lighthouse Point and throughout South Florida.

The goal is to resolve the problem for the homeowner while preserving the colony whenever possible.

Honey bees are important pollinators, and established colonies can contain tens of thousands of bees. When conditions allow, relocating the colony provides an alternative to simply spraying or exterminating it.

Why Bees Build Hives Around South Florida Homes

South Florida's warm climate allows honey bee activity for much of the year.

Homes can provide bees with protected areas that make attractive locations for establishing a colony. Depending on the property, bees may be discovered around:

• Rooflines and eaves
• Soffits
• Exterior walls
• Attics
• Trees and landscaping
• Columns
• Sheds and detached structures
• High areas of two-story homes
• Other protected openings around a building

If you're repeatedly seeing bees traveling to and from the same opening, there may be more happening than a temporary swarm.

An established colony can be significantly larger than what is visible from outside.

What Should You Do If You Find Bees at Your Lighthouse Point Home?

If you notice a large number of bees, a swarm, or bees consistently entering part of your house, avoid disturbing them.

Don't seal an opening while bees are actively using it, and don't attempt a difficult ladder removal without the appropriate experience and equipment.

Instead, have the situation evaluated by an experienced Lighthouse Point bee removal company.

Our team can determine what is happening, where the bees are located and what type of removal may be appropriate for the property.

Live Bee Removal for Difficult-to-Reach Hives

This Lighthouse Point job is a great example of why equipment and experience matter.

The colony was approximately 24 feet high on a two-story house, with more than 60,000 honey bees estimated to be living in the colony.

GotBeez handles bee removals from many different residential and commercial situations throughout South Florida, including colonies located high above the ground and in difficult-to-access areas.

Every removal is different, so the approach needs to be based on the location of the bees, accessibility, structure and size of the colony.
