Services ยท Bee Removal
Bees removed alive, never exterminated.
Honey bees are pollinators, not pests. Nice relocates the colony, seals where it got in, and leaves the bees working somewhere better than your wall.
What bee removal covers
Bee removal is live removal: Nice Pest Company never exterminates honey bees. We locate the colony, remove it humanely, and transfer the bees to local beekeepers whenever possible, then identify and seal the entry points so the next swarm doesn't move into the same wall, attic, or shed. If you see bees swarming or a hive forming, don't spray them. Call, and let the colony leave alive.
How our bee removal works
The order protects you and the bees both: confirm what you have, move the colony, then close the door it used.
-
Confirm it's bees.
Honey bees and wasps get different treatment entirely, so the first job is identifying which one is on your property and where the colony sits.
-
Remove the colony alive.
Humane removal of the bees and their hive, handled with the protective gear and patience a defensive colony demands.
-
Relocate it.
Colonies go to local beekeepers whenever possible, keeping the pollinators Arizona's gardens and agriculture depend on in work.
-
Seal the entry points.
Scout bees hunt cavities: wall voids, attic gaps, shed eaves. Closing the openings is what keeps a new swarm from replaying the whole story.
Why spraying a hive is the wrong move
A can of spray angers a colony that outnumbers you thousands to one, and many wild colonies in Arizona carry Africanized genetics that make them defend hard and pursue far. Even a successful DIY kill leaves comb and brood in the wall, and that residue is exactly what attracts the next swarm.
-
Live removal keeps the pollinators working and your family unstung.
-
Relocation to local beekeepers whenever possible.
-
Entry points sealed so the wall doesn't get re-colonized.
What bee removal costs
Bee removal is quoted per job, separate from the recurring pest plan, because a swarm on a branch and an established colony inside a wall are very different removals. We send a no-obligation estimate by text before any work starts, so you see the number first.

Good to know
Questions? We've got answers.
Straight answers to what Valley homeowners ask us most. Still not sure about something? We're happy to talk it through.
Do you remove bees alive?
Yes, always. Nice never exterminates honey bees: colonies are removed humanely and transferred to local beekeepers whenever possible, because honey bees are essential pollinators for Arizona's agriculture and gardens. The removal ends with sealing the entry points so a new swarm can't take over the same cavity.
There's a swarm of bees in my yard. What do I do?
Keep people and pets away and don't spray it. A resting swarm is a colony between homes, often gone again within a day or two, and provoking it is how stings happen. If it settles into a wall, attic, or shed, that's when it becomes a removal job, so call and we'll take it from there.
Are Arizona bees dangerous?
They can be. Many wild colonies in Arizona carry Africanized genetics, which doesn't change how a single bee behaves but makes a disturbed colony defend more aggressively and pursue farther. It's the reason hive removal here is protective-gear work rather than a weekend project.
How much does bee removal cost?
Bee removal is quoted per job rather than off the recurring plan, because a swarm on a branch and an established colony inside a wall are very different removals. We send a no-obligation estimate by text before any work starts, so you see the number first.
