Honey Bee Removal with Pest Control Atlanta
Are thousands of honey bees establishing colonies in your walls, attic, or eaves? These European honey bees (Apis mellifera) create permanent hives containing 20,000–80,000 individuals, producing up to 60 pounds of honeycomb that attracts ants, roaches, and structural moisture damage when left untreated. Unlike aggressive wasps or hornets, honey bees require specialized live honey bee removal techniques that preserve beneficial pollinators while protecting your property from costly damage. Pest Control Atlanta’s (PCA) certified apiary specialists partner with licensed beekeepers to provide humane honey bee relocation using smoke calming methods, vacuum extraction systems, and complete honeycomb removal that prevents secondary infestations. Our EPA-approved bee control approach prioritizes conservation through professional swarm removal and hive relocation to registered apiaries, supporting Georgia’s agricultural ecosystem while eliminating structural risks. Available 24/7 for emergency bee situations with same-day response, licensed honey bee removal services deliver permanent solutions that protect both families and beneficial pollinators.

Risks of Untreated Honey Bee Infestation
Structural Honeycomb Damage
Honey bee hives produce 40-100 pounds of honeycomb and honey annually; melting wax and fermenting honey cause wall collapse, ceiling staining, and wood rot in untreated structures.
Aggressive Defensive Behavior
Africanized honey bee colonies attack in swarms of 300-500 bees when disturbed, delivering 10x more stings than European honey bees and pursuing threats for 0.25 miles.
Secondary Pest Attraction
Abandoned hives attract wax moths, carpet beetles, ants, and rodents; fermenting honey draws cockroaches and creates moisture conditions for mold growth.
Property Value Decline
Honey bee structural damage to hive location, honeycomb volume, and wall/ceiling restoration requirements.
Signs of Honey Bee Infestation
Increased bee activity near building exteriors signals colony establishment, with 50-100 bees entering single access points hourly during peak foraging (9 AM-4 PM). Dark staining on walls or ceilings indicates honeycomb saturation; each gallon of honey weighs 12 pounds, causing drywall buckling and paint discoloration. Audible buzzing within walls confirms active colonies; hives containing 30,000-50,000 bees produce 60-75 decibel sound levels detectable through insulation. Sweet odors near vents or soffits result from fermenting honey in temperatures exceeding 85°F, attracting rodents and cockroaches to structural cavities.

Honey Bee Species We Treat in Atlanta
European Honey Bees (Apis mellifera): Identified by golden-brown thorax with black abdominal bands, these bees establish colonies in wall voids, chimneys, and attic spaces across Buckhead, Midtown, and Decatur. Pest Control Atlanta relocates colonies to registered apiaries within 50 miles, extracting 40-60 pounds of honeycomb and sealing entry points with steel mesh and polyurethane foam.
Africanized Honey Bees (Scutellata Hybrid): Visually identical to European bees but exhibiting aggressive swarming behavior within 10 feet of hives, AHB colonies appear in Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, and Marietta properties. Treatment requires protective equipment rated for 200+ stings, chemical calming agents approved by EPA, and complete hive extermination when relocation endangers public safety.

Pest Control Atlanta Honey Bee Removal Process
Step 1
Colony Inspection
Licensed technicians conduct thermal imaging inspection and visual assessment identifying hive location, colony size, entry points, and structural access requirements for complete extraction.

Live Bee Extraction
Certified bee removal specialists perform controlled colony extraction using professional vacuum equipment, capturing queen bee, worker bees, and brood for live relocation to registered Metro Atlanta apiaries.
Step 3

Step 4
Sanitation & Exclusion
Cavity treatment with science-based cleaners neutralizes pheromone attractants; entry points sealed with appropriate materials preventing future colony establishment in treated locations.

FAQs
How much does it cost to hire someone to get rid of bees?
Honey bee removal cost depending on colony size, location accessibility, and structural damage. Pest Control Atlanta provides flat-rate pricing with free inspections—most residential treatments cost $400–$600 including honeycomb removal and structural sealing.
What is the 3-3-3 rule for bees?
The 3-3-3 rule refers to honey bee swarm behavior: swarms can survive 3 days without establishing a hive, search within 3 miles for suitable locations, and require 3 weeks to build initial honeycomb. Professional swarm removal within this timeframe prevents permanent establishment.
Are honey bee stings dangerous?
Honey bee stings cause mild pain for most people but trigger severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) in 2–3% of the population. Established colonies become increasingly defensive, releasing alarm pheromones that trigger mass stinging responses requiring immediate honey bee pest control.
How long does honey bee removal take?
Live honey bee removal typically requires 2–4 hours for accessible colonies, while structural extractions may take 4–8 hours including honeycomb removal and sealing. Complete hive relocation and structural remediation ensure permanent results with minimal property disruption.
Do honey bees return after removal?
Honey bees return to locations with residual pheromone traces and suitable nesting conditions without complete honeycomb removal and structural sealing. Professional honey bee removal services eliminate attractant factors and provide 90-day guarantees against recolonization.
Is honey bee removal covered by insurance?
Standard homeowner’s insurance typically excludes honey bee removal and related structural damage. However, coverage may apply for secondary damage from abandoned hives including moisture, mold, and pest attraction requiring professional documentation and remediation.
