Swarms
Bees usual method of reproducing
A swarm is part of a successful colony of bees that has split off and is looking for a new home to start a new colony. Swarms are the easiest bees to relocate, because they are already looking for a new home. Swarm removal is usually at low cost.

Cut-outs
Removing bees quickly from structures or trees
A cut-out is cutting into a structure or tree, removing the bees, their young, and any food they have stored. The bees, their young, and their food stores are then placed in a standard beehive and moved to a new location. This method is traumatic but it does preserve the bees and allow them to continue and prosper.

Trap-outs
Removing bees at their own pace from structures or trees
A trap-out is accomplished by placing a one-way door on wherever the bees have been living and providing the bees with someplace to go when they cannot get back in. The place provided is called a bait-hive; the bees take up residence in this hive. When all the bees have moved out of the structure or tree and into the bait-hive, the hive is removed to somewhere that the bees are wanted. The structure or tree is then sealed to prevent re-entry by bees. A trap-out is very easy on the bees.

​​​​Important – Beekeepers need and expect payment for their services. Rescuing and relocating bees is risky, serious work requiring training, equipment, and experience. Transportation, specialized clothing, specialized capture equipment, hive equipment to house the bees, and materials to set up the new location all cost money. No beekeeper is getting rich rescuing bees.

It can go like this – a beekeeper spends a long day removing bees from a location, places the bees and their comb in a hive box, and moves those bees to a location that had to be prepared to receive them. A day later, the beekeeper goes to check on the bees only to find that the rescued bees have left their new home to set out on their own! An experienced beekeeper has described rescuing bees as, “It is like trying to make a feral cat into a house cat…it is a great idea and well-intended, but… it doesn’t always work.” The bees will probably be all right and you got the bees out of your wall, but the beekeeper has lost out. Paying the beekeeper partially offsets these inevitable losses.

 

The Dangers of DIY Bee Removal
If you have a hive of bees on your property, then it’s understandable that you’d want to do something about it. However, it should be understood that tens of thousands of bees can live in just one hive. By attempting to remove a hive via DIY methods, you don’t have the knowledge of how to handle this enormous number of bees. Be warned, if the bees see you as a threat, then they will take action.

Also, if you or your children are allergic to bee stings, then the sight of a hive can be even scarier.  You may want to get rid of the bees safely and as fast as possible, but by calling a professional bee removal company, you can easily prevent anyone from getting hurt.

Remember, every year people attempt to solve their bee problems on their own, and every year, mistakes are made when it comes to approaching the removal of a bee hive.

Some common DIY bee removal mistakes include:
Swatting at the hive with a blunt object
Spraying insect killer at the hive
Covering the hive with a trash can or trash bag.
