When bees decide to build their hive near or inside a residential property, homeowners often feel caught between two difficult decisions—protecting their home and respecting the vital role bees play in our ecosystem. At Absolute Critter, we believe you don’t have to choose. Our safe beehive relocation services are designed to protect your home and the environment, providing a humane and sustainable alternative to harmful extermination methods.
The Importance of Bee Conservation
Bees are one of nature’s most essential pollinators. They support agriculture, native plant growth, and the overall balance of ecosystems. Despite their importance, bee populations worldwide face serious threats from pesticides, habitat loss, and disease.
That’s why safe removal and relocation is the best response to a beehive that has become a threat to your property. Unlike some pest species, bees are not simply removed and disposed of. Instead, we work with local beekeepers and environmental experts to relocate hives to places where they can thrive without causing harm to people or structures.
The Risks of Unmanaged Beehives
While bees are beneficial in nature, they can become problematic when hives are built too close to human activity. Common nesting spots include wall cavities, attics, soffits, trees near homes, or even underneath decks. Over time, a growing hive can lead to several issues:
Structural damage from the weight of the hive or honey
Allergic reactions or stings to residents or pets
Attraction of predators like skunks or raccoons
Secondary infestations from ants and other insects drawn to honey
The situation can become especially dangerous for those with bee allergies or when children and pets frequent the area. However, these issues can be resolved without harming the bees or the environment.
Our Safe Relocation Process
Absolute Critter’s beehive relocation process is both methodical and environmentally responsible. First, we conduct a full inspection of your property to assess the hive’s location, size, and accessibility. Once we confirm it is a honeybee colony (not wasps or hornets), we plan a customized removal strategy.
Our team works during cooler times of the day, when bees are less active. We use specialized tools and protective gear to gently collect the bees and remove the hive. The bees are then safely transported to a local apiary or beekeeper who can continue to care for and nurture the colony.
After the bees are relocated, we thoroughly clean the area to remove pheromones and residual honey, which could attract future colonies or other pests. This critical step is often overlooked but is just as important as the removal itself.
When to Call for Beehive Relocation
Beehive relocation should always be performed by professionals. Attempting to remove a hive without proper equipment or knowledge can result in painful stings and property damage. If you notice signs such as increased bee activity, a low buzzing sound from inside walls, or visible honeycomb, it’s time to call an expert.
In some cases, homeowners may initially think they need Rat Removal, Bobcat Control Services, or Snake Removal Services, only to discover the issue lies with bees. We always perform thorough inspections to identify the exact cause of unusual animal behavior or noises around your property.
Conclusion: Protecting Homes and Pollinators
Beehive relocation is a delicate balance between property safety and environmental stewardship. At Absolute Critter, we are proud to offer a solution that supports both. Our safe, humane, and effective bee relocation services give homeowners peace of mind—while giving bees a second chance to thrive where they belong.
Whether you're facing a hive in your attic or buzzing under your porch, trust the professionals who care about more than just removal. We’re committed to protecting your property, your family, and the planet.
