High-Reach Hive Removal: The Fort Lauderdale Treetop Challenge

Live Bee Removal Job in West Palm Beach

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jiri Melichar

I recently had a bee removal service at my property, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Nick professionally and safely secured about 20 pounds of bees in a box. He and his wife were very knowledgeable, even taking the time to explain to my kids the difference between male and female bees. They patiently answered all my questions and made the whole process educational as well as safe.

What I appreciated most is that they keep the bees alive, relocating them instead of destroying them. Everything was done in a professional, respectful, and caring way. I can definitely recommend them for any future bee removals.

High-Reach Hive Removal in Fort Lauderdale

When you own a live bee removal company like GotBeez, every day brings a new puzzle. We don’t just deal with easy-to-reach boxes or fences; sometimes, the bees decide the highest, most awkward spot is the best place to build their home. I wanted to share the story of a recent job that truly put our specialized skills to the test in this Fort Lauderdale live bee removal job.

The Call: A Hive in the Clouds

We received a call about a significant bee presence in a residential area of Fort Lauderdale. When we arrived, the homeowner pointed straight up. There, high up in the dense canopy of a large tree, was a massive, established beehive.

We talk a lot about humane removal, but “humane” also means “safe,” both for the bees and our team. Getting to a massive colony tucked away in a treetop isn’t something you can do with a standard ladder. This was a job that required us to bring out the heavy equipment and elevate our entire approach—literally!

Precision and Care on the Lift

To reach the hive safely and minimize disturbance to the colony, we utilized a specialized lift. Imagine working 30, 40, or even more feet off the ground, surrounded by thousands of buzzing, protective bees, all while trying to perform delicate surgery on their home.

  • Safety First: Our team geared up completely, making sure every safety protocol was followed for working at height.

  • A Gentle Touch: Using the lift, we slowly and steadily approached the hive. In these challenging scenarios, precision is key. We needed to ensure the structural integrity of the hive remained intact during the extraction process so we could relocate the queen and the entire colony successfully.

  • Finding the Queen: My lead technician, Nick, is incredible at spotting the most important member of the colony. Even with the challenging angle and the bees buzzing thick around us, he successfully located the Queen (👑), ensuring the longevity of the relocated colony.

The GotBeez Promise: Relocation Success

We were able to safely and humanely extract the entire, massive hive from the tree. Seeing the sheer size of the colony we saved is always a rewarding moment. Those bees were then transported to a safe, controlled environment where they can continue their vital work as pollinators.

It’s these kinds of high-stakes, technically complex jobs that truly define what GotBeez offers. If you have a beehive in an awkward, hard-to-reach spot—whether it’s high in a tree, deep in a chimney, or anywhere else—you need experts who have the equipment and the experience to handle it correctly and kindly.
