Rooftop & Multi-Story Bee Removal in Broward & Palm Beach County
Live bee relocation from rooflines, second-story soffits, third-story eaves, and elevated commercial exteriors — with our owned boom lift so the job does not wait on a rental.
Quick Summary
Bees love South Florida rooflines, fascia gaps, and upper-floor cavities. Ladders run out of reach fast, and sealing the hole without removing the colony makes the problem worse. GotBeez handles rooftop and multi-story live bee removal across Broward County and Palm Beach County using owned high-reach equipment, then relocates honey bees whenever conditions allow.

Owned lift access for elevated hives on homes, apartments, and commercial buildings.
Why rooftop and multi-story bee jobs are different
A swarm on a low branch is one kind of call. A colony flying into a second-story soffit, a flat commercial roof, or a third-floor eave is another. Height changes safety, equipment, timing, and how you protect people underneath the flight path.
GotBeez is a live bee removal company first. We relocate honey bees whenever we can. For elevated jobs, that usually means bringing our owned boom lift so we can work level with the colony instead of stretching from a ladder.
Roofline and fascia entry
Bees often enter through a small gap under the fascia, at a vent, or where roofing meets a wall. From the ground it can look like “just a few bees.” Inside, the comb may already be growing.
Second- and third-story soffits
Upper-floor eaves and balcony cavities put the hive over walkways, pool decks, or parking. That is when tenants, guests, and HOA managers start calling for same-day help.
Commercial rooftops
Retail centers, offices, and warehouses often have parapets, signs, and roof edges where colonies settle. Public access and business hours make controlled high-reach removal the safer plan. See commercial bee removal.
Do not seal first
Blocking the entry hole traps bees and honeycomb inside the structure. Heat melts wax, odors follow, and pests show up. Remove the colony and comb properly, then seal.
Where we use the boom lift on elevated jobs
Not every rooftop call needs a lift, but many do. If a ladder cannot put a beekeeper safely level with the hive, owned lift access is how we finish the job without rental delays. That story is covered in detail on our new boom lift announcement and the boom lift bee removal service page.
- Two-story and three-story homes and townhomes
- Apartment and condo exteriors / HOA buildings
- Commercial roof edges, parapets, and storefront upper walls
- Elevated utility spots, signs, and light poles near roof lines
- Any hard-to-reach nest over a driveway, pool, or entrance
Residential vs. commercial elevated removals
Homeowners usually notice bees over a pool cage, lanai, or upstairs window. Property managers notice them where customers park, dine, or enter. The removal method is similar. The access plan and scheduling are not.
For houses and townhomes, start with residential bee removal. For apartments, HOAs, retail, and offices, use commercial bee removal. Tall trees next to the roof still fall under live bee removal in trees.
How a rooftop or multi-story GotBeez job usually goes
Clear photos save everyone time. Send the height, the entry point, and any staining or heavy flight activity before we roll out.
We confirm species clues, height, and whether this looks like a swarm or an established colony in the structure.
Ladder vs. lift, driveway setup, power lines, tenant safety, and where people need to stay clear.
We work the entry point at height and remove bees alive whenever conditions allow.
If honeycomb is inside a wall or soffit, we talk through access and honeycomb cleanup so wax and honey do not melt into the structure.
After removal, entry points should be addressed so the next swarm does not move back into the same gap.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rooftop & Multi-Story Bee Removal
Practical answers for homeowners, HOAs, and property managers dealing with bees on a roofline or upper floor in Broward or Palm Beach County.
Do rooftop bee jobs always need a boom lift?
Not always. Some low eaves can be reached safely with ladders. Second-story, third-story, and many commercial roof edges usually need lift access. Send photos and we will tell you which tool fits the job.
Can bees in a second-story soffit be removed alive?
Often yes. If we can reach the colony safely, GotBeez focuses on live relocation whenever conditions allow, then discusses comb cleanup if wax is inside the structure.
Should I seal the roof gap before you arrive?
No. Sealing first traps bees and honeycomb inside. Leave the entry open, keep people clear of the flight path, and call for live removal first.
Do you handle apartment and HOA buildings?
Yes. Multi-story residential exteriors are a common high-reach call. Start with commercial bee removal for property-manager scheduling, or call the Broward or Palm Beach line directly.
Is this the same as your boom lift service?
Rooftop and multi-story work is one of the main reasons we own a lift. For equipment details, see boom lift bee removal and our new boom lift post.
What if bees are over a business entrance?
Treat that as urgent. Keep the doorway clear if you can do it safely, do not spray, and call for emergency live bee removal.
