Lee Honey Bee | We love Honey Bees!
Our specialty is specifically live honey bee hive removal.
We do not remove hornet or yellow jackets nests, bumble bee nests, carpenter bees, mason bees, wasps, cicada killers, or ground bees.
We also do not remove bees buzzing around flowers and plants. This is a normal part of pollination and bee life. Once the plants are done blooming, the bees will leave.
We have completed honey bee hive removals for 6 years and have over twenty years construction experience. When you hire us, know that you are hiring a professional bee removal specialist!
We teach at two local bee groups, beginning beekeepers and Tim is working on level 3 of UF’s Master Beekeeper Program – the Master Level.
Yes. When GreenView Aquaponics Family Farm & Apiary does the repairs to the access area, we will guarantee that honey bees will not return to the the exact location they were removed from. We do the access area repairs only occasionally when they fit within the scope of our work quoted.
Normally, we do not do the repairs, then we will not guarantee against re-infestation of new bee colonies. However, we will be happy to inform you how repairs should be done to prevent bees from ever coming back to that spot again.
In the unlikely event that the problem is not taken care of the first time, GreenView Aquaponics Family Farm & Apiary will continue coming back until the problem is fixed or we will refund part or all of your money. This is at our discretion.
Note: that after a bee hive removal job is complete and the entry point sealed, it is normal to have a few forager bees coming back. They will not be able to get through the sealed entry point. These forager bees can hang around for up to a week or two before they are completely gone.
GreenView Aquaponics Family Farm & Apiary reserves the right to withhold this guarantee for certain situations, but will inform the customer before beginning and it will also be stated on the bee hive removal proposal/invoice/receipt.
Yes, GreenView Aquaponics, LLC carries $1,000,000 in general liability as well as having property damage coverage.
Bee Hive Removal often involves ladder work, spectators (curious neighbors), and opening up people’s homes or business to remove the honey bees.
Without insurance, you would become liable for the beekeeper’s actions since you hired them.
Not to mention mishaps that involve property damage. Who’s going to pay for that without insurance?
Neighbor get stung? Hopefully they were not allergic….
The scenarios are endless when it comes to risks involving folks working in or on your property. We are very conscientious and insured to be absolutely certain that anything we do that we do it with permission, care, and proper knowledge & training.
The bee hive removal process from start to finish typically will take about 4 hours, sometimes less or more time depending on the difficulty and size of the bee hive removal job.
Swarms can be “vacuumed” up in about an hour if they are readily accessible.
With a “Cut Out”, we often times have to come back in the evening the following day to pick up the “bee hive box”, so we can make sure we have all the foraging bees in the box when we leave. 30-40% of the bees will be out gathering nectar and pollen when we originally arrive to relocate the colony during the day.
If it’s a “Trap Out”, it can take 6-8 weeks and multiple trips, in order to ensure as many of the bees hatch and come out and eat as much of the resources possible before we close up the opening . Eventually the bees inside the wall will run out of resources since the foraging bees will not be able to come back inside to refill their stores and they will join the others in the box outside the opening. This process is a very managed process and takes some time to be completed properly.
Each situation can be very different dependent on where and how long a bee colony was able to colonize. The above time frames are approximations based on years of successful bee relocations.
