Honey Bee Removal
Honey bees are vital to our environment and should be protected whenever possible. Our honey bee removal services focus on ethical, live relocation, not extermination, helping protect both your property and these important pollinators.
Ethical Honey Bee Removal & Relocation
Honey bees play a critical role in pollination and environmental balance. When a colony establishes itself in or around a home or structure, removal must be handled carefully and responsibly.
Moorman’s Wildlife Management & Pest Control provides professional honey bee removal and relocation services designed to safely remove colonies while preserving the bees whenever conditions allow.
What Makes Honey Bees Different From Other Stinging Insects?
Unlike wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets, honey bees are:
- Beneficial pollinators
- Environmentally protected in many areas
- Typically relocated rather than exterminated
Our team is trained to identify honey bees accurately and determine the safest and most ethical removal approach.
Our Honey Bee Removal & Relocation Process
Every situation is different. Our process may include:
Inspection & Identification
We confirm that the insects are honey bees and assess colony location, size, and accessibility.
Live Removal When Possible
When conditions allow, we safely remove the colony and coordinate relocation to a suitable environment or beekeeper partner.
Structural Considerations
If bees have established inside walls, chimneys, or structures, removal may require access points to fully remove comb and prevent future infestations.
Prevention & Repair Guidance
We provide recommendations to help prevent bees from returning and may advise on sealing entry points after removal.
When Relocation May Not Be Possible
While live relocation is always the goal, some situations may limit available options due to:
- Severe structural damage
- Colony health or accessibility issues
- Safety concerns
In these cases, we provide transparent recommendations based on safety, regulations, and property conditions.
