Swarm Removal

Need swarm removal fast? A bee swarm on your property can be an unsettling sight, thousands of bees clustered on a tree branch, fence, or the side of your building. The good news? Swarms are typically docile and temporary. But acting quickly is important before they establish a permanent hive. Ben & Bees provides fast, expert swarm removal across South Florida.

What Is a Bee Swarm?

Swarming is a natural reproductive process where a portion of a colony leaves with a new queen to establish a new home. The swarm typically rests in a temporary location, hanging from a branch, fence post, or building exterior, while scout bees search for a permanent nesting site.

While swarms are generally non-aggressive because they have no hive to defend, they should still be handled by professionals. If left alone, the swarm will eventually move into a wall void, attic, or other structure, creating a much more complex removal situation.

Fast Swarm Removal and Capture

Swarm removal is typically the simplest and most affordable type of bee removal. Our technicians arrive quickly, assess the swarm, and carefully capture the bees into a specialized box. The entire process usually takes under an hour.

Because swarms haven't yet built honeycomb, there's no messy cleanup required. We simply capture the bees and relocate them to a local apiary through our live bee relocation program.

When to Call for Swarm Removal

Call us immediately if you see a cluster of bees on your property. Swarms can decide on a permanent location within 24-72 hours. The sooner we capture them, the easier and more affordable the process will be. Prompt swarm removal prevents the far more involved structural removal that becomes necessary once bees build comb inside a structure. If a swarm is blocking a doorway or threatening someone with allergies, call our emergency bee removal line right away.
