Bee Removal FAQ: Everything You Need to Know About Live Bee Relocation in Las Vegas
If you’ve discovered bees in your yard, roof, or irrigation box, you probably have a lot of questions. At Vegas Bees, we specialize in live bee removal and relocation in Las Vegas, not extermination. Here are the most common questions people ask before hiring us.
What is bee removal and relocation?
Bee removal in Las Vegas is the process of safely relocating honey bees from homes, yards, or structures without harming them. Unlike extermination, live bee removal transfers the queen, hive, and colony to a managed apiary where the bees can thrive. Vegas Bees specializes in no-kill bee removal in Las Vegas, offering fast, eco-friendly service that protects both your family and the bees.
Q: Are honey bees dangerous to my family, kids, or pets?
Honey bees are not aggressive by nature, but a hive or swarm in the wrong place can be risky if disturbed. Our bee removal service makes sure your family and pets stay safe while the bees are carefully relocated.
Q: Do you kill the bees?
No. Unlike pest control companies, we only offer no-kill bee removal in the Las Vegas Valley. We safely relocate the queen, colony, and honeycomb to one of our apiaries. This way, the bees survive and continue their vital role in pollination.
Q: Where do the bees go after you relocate them?
We take the bees to a safe bee farm where they can thrive. Many customers love knowing their hive is still alive and contributing to the ecosystem instead of being destroyed.
Q: Is live bee removal more expensive than extermination?
Not really. Our bee relocation services are typically priced about the same as extermination, but with far better results. Extermination leaves behind comb and honey, which can attract pests. Relocation solves the problem completely and humanely.
Q: How fast can you remove bees from my home?
We understand that bee problems are urgent. In most cases, we offer same-day or next-day bee removal. Our quick response is one reason customers recommend us so highly.
Q: What does your bee removal process look like?
We carefully remove the hive, gather the bees, and transfer them into a new hive box. By relocating the queen, the rest of the bees follow. Along the way, we explain what we’re doing, and kids especially love watching and learning.
Q: Will the bees come back after removal?
No. Since we remove the queen and all honeycomb, the original location is no longer attractive to other bees. That’s why our bee relocation is permanent and effective.
Q: Can you remove bees from difficult places like walls, roofs, or irrigation boxes?
Yes. We’ve successfully handled bee removals from sprinkler boxes, attics, fences, trees, grills, underground vaults, and rooftops. No matter where bees set up, we have the skill to relocate them safely.
Q: Do you remove wasps or hornets too?
Yes. We provide wasp and hornet removal in Las Vegas as well. While they aren’t numerous like honey bees, we always take the safest and most humane approach possible.
Q: Do I get to keep some honey?
Sometimes! If the hive has surplus honey, we’ll happily share a little with you. Many of our customers love putting fresh local honey from their rescued bees into their tea the very same day.
