A whole honey bee colony was living in a roof in Oakland Park. We took it out piece by piece, comb and all, and moved it alive to our apiary.
I am Nick with GotBeez. If bees are going in and out of your roof, do not spray and do not seal the gap. Call us first.
Reel from GotBeez Apiary on Facebook
This job was a honey bee colony living in a roof in Oakland Park. On Facebook we summed it up as “piece by piece, frame by frame,” and that is how a live removal goes. There is no fast way to move a whole colony without hurting it.
We got to the colony in the roof, cut the comb out one piece at a time, and moved it with the bees. When we were done, the whole colony went home to our apiary alive.
Nothing got sprayed. No bees got killed. We never kill bees on any job.
The comb is the colony’s home. It holds the honey, the pollen and the young bees. If someone kills the bees and leaves the comb in a roof, the honey melts in our heat. It can leak through the ceiling, stain it and draw ants and roaches. The smell can also bring the next swarm right back to the same spot.
Taking the comb out with the bees fixes both problems. The colony lives, and the honey is out of your roof.

GotBeez is Nick and Jessica, licensed, insured, third-generation beekeepers based in Davie. We cover all of Broward. Every colony we remove comes out alive and goes to our apiary.
You see bees flying in and out of the same gap in the soffit, fascia or roofline all day, and you may hear a hum from the attic. A swarm resting on the outside of the roof is different and often leaves on its own. Send us a photo and we will tell you which one you have.

No. We only do live removal. Every colony, every time.
Because we take the comb out piece by piece instead of leaving it in your roof. It is slower, but it saves the colony and keeps melted honey out of your ceiling.
