I am Nick with GotBeez. When homeowners and business owners call us, they often say the same thing: they do not want the bees killed — they just want them gone safely. That is exactly what humane live bee removal is about. We assess the colony, remove the bees alive when the situation allows, and relocate them instead of spraying poison and walking away.
What humane bee removal means
Humane bee removal — also called no-kill bee removal or live bee relocation — means capturing the colony and moving it to a managed hive instead of exterminating it. At GotBeez, we are third-generation beekeepers. Saving honeybees is not a marketing line for us. It is how we operate on most jobs across Broward County and Palm Beach County.
- Live capture of worker bees, drones, and the queen when possible
- Safe relocation to our apiary or a proper hive setup
- Honeycomb removal when bees were inside a wall, soffit, or roof void
- No spray-first approach that leaves dead bees and comb behind

Why choose no-kill bee removal over extermination
Better for the environment
Honeybees pollinate plants across South Florida. Relocation keeps colonies alive and contributing instead of adding dead bees and chemical residue to your property.
Better for your property
Spray-and-kill often leaves honeycomb, wax, brood, and odor inside walls. That can attract ants, roaches, rodents, and future swarms. Live removal with proper cleanup solves the root problem.
Aligns with Florida values
While extermination is not banned, live relocation is strongly encouraged. GotBeez prioritizes no-kill methods whenever the colony and structure allow it.
Real beekeeper expertise
We are state-registered beekeepers with 50+ years of combined experience — not a generic pest control truck spraying and leaving.
How GotBeez performs live bee removal
1. Inspection
We identify species, hive size, entry points, and whether bees are in a wall, tree, roofline, meter box, or open swarm.
2. Access plan
We determine whether vacuum capture, comb cutting, or trap-out methods are appropriate for a live removal.
3. Live removal
Bees are collected alive using beekeeper tools — not mass insecticide treatment.
4. Relocation & cleanup
The colony goes to our apiary. If comb was inside a structure, honeycomb removal helps prevent odor, pests, and repeat problems.

When humane removal needs extra steps
Some jobs need more than capturing visible bees. If a colony has been inside a wall for months, honeycomb removal is often essential. If you sprayed the bees already, cleanup may still be required. And if bees are blocking an entrance or showing defensive behavior, you may need 24/7 emergency live bee removal — we still prioritize live capture when possible.
Important: Do not spray bees in a wall and do not seal the opening. Read why spraying bees in a wall makes the problem worse.
Humane bee removal cost in South Florida
Most humane live bee removal jobs range from $150 to $800+ depending on hive size, height, access, and whether structural opening is required. Swarms in open areas are usually on the lower end. Established wall hives with honeycomb cleanup are typically more.

Humane bee removal FAQ
What is humane bee removal?
Humane bee removal means capturing honeybees alive and relocating the colony to a managed hive instead of killing them with insecticide.
Does GotBeez offer no-kill bee removal?
Yes. GotBeez specializes in no-kill live bee removal and humane relocation across Broward and Palm Beach County.
Is humane live bee removal more expensive than extermination?
It can be similar or slightly higher because live removal requires beekeeper skill, proper equipment, and often more time. The long-term property benefits usually outweigh spray-only shortcuts.
Can you remove bees from walls without killing them?
Often yes. We perform structural live bee removal from walls, soffits, fascia, and rooflines whenever the colony condition and access allow it.
Do you remove Africanized bees humanely?
We assess each colony carefully. Aggressive or Africanized colonies may require additional safety steps, but our goal remains live removal when safely possible.
What is the difference between a swarm and an established hive?
A swarm is a temporary cluster of bees looking for a new home — often easier to relocate. An established hive has built comb and may be inside a structure, requiring more work.
Do you service Broward and Palm Beach County?
Yes. We cover all of Broward County and Palm Beach County, including Davie, Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, Hollywood, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach.
