Bee Hive Relocation
Humane, professional relocation of honey bee colonies from your property to a safe new home
Saving Bees, One Hive at a Time
Bee hive relocation is the humane process of safely moving an established honey bee colony from an unwanted location to a suitable new home. Unlike extermination, relocation preserves these vital pollinators while solving your bee problem.
Environmentally Responsible
Honey bees are essential pollinators facing population decline. Relocation preserves these important insects instead of destroying them.
Complete Solution
We remove the entire colony, including the queen, workers, honeycomb, and brood, ensuring the bees don't return to your property.
Expert Handling
Our experienced beekeepers safely handle the relocation process, minimizing stress to the colony and risk to your property.
Why Choose Professional Relocation?
Attempting to remove a bee hive yourself can be dangerous and often ineffective. Here's why professional relocation is the better choice:
DIY Removal or Extermination
- Risk of multiple stings and allergic reactions
- Often fails to remove the entire colony
- Leftover honeycomb attracts pests and new colonies
- Kills beneficial pollinators unnecessarily
- Potential property damage from improper removal
- No guarantee bees won't return
Professional Relocation
- Safe, humane removal by experienced beekeepers
- Complete removal of bees, honeycomb, and brood
- Proper cleanup and sealing to prevent future infestations
- Preserves honey bees for continued pollination
- Minimizes property damage during removal
- Guaranteed solution with follow-up if needed
Our Relocation Process
We follow a careful, systematic approach to ensure the safe relocation of honey bee colonies while minimizing disruption to your property.
Initial Assessment
We evaluate the colony size, location, and accessibility to determine the best relocation approach and provide an accurate quote.
Preparation
We prepare the necessary equipment and protective gear, and develop a plan specific to your situation.
Safe Removal
We carefully remove the entire colony, including the queen, workers, honeycomb, and brood, using specialized techniques.
Transfer to New Hive
We transfer the bees and honeycomb to a new, properly structured hive box designed for their long-term health.
Transport
We safely transport the colony to its new location, taking care to minimize stress on the bees during the journey.
Cleanup & Prevention
We clean the original site, remove all honeycomb residue, and seal entry points to prevent future colonies from moving in.
Follow-up
We monitor the relocated colony to ensure they're adapting well to their new home and check your property to confirm no bees have returned.
Where Do the Bees Go?
After relocation, your bees will have a new home where they can thrive and continue their important work as pollinators.
A Second Chance for Bees
Relocated colonies are given a new home in one of several possible locations:
- Our Managed Apiaries: Many colonies join our network of carefully managed bee yards throughout Central Florida.
- Local Beekeepers: We partner with a network of experienced beekeepers who adopt healthy colonies.
- Educational Programs: Some colonies are placed in educational settings where they help teach new beekeepers.
- Agricultural Pollination: Healthy colonies may assist with pollination at local farms and orchards.
All relocated colonies are monitored for health and given the care they need to establish themselves in their new home.

Real Stories from Homeowners, Educators & Farmers
We had a fantastic experience with James and his bee removal service! From the moment I called, he was extremely professional and communicated with me promptly. He came out the very same day to remove a large hive that had been forming on the side of our house. James is incredibly knowledgeable, and he even took the time to teach us about bee science! We highly recommend James—he is trustworthy, professional, and punctual. You can count on him to get the job done right!.

James is so kind, knowledgeable, and helpful! He came out on the fly to check out our manufacturing facility and warehouse, which was infested with hundreds of bees outside and inside. He helped us brainstorm a bunch of different solutions to fix our problem while educating us on how we created the problem and what we needed to do differently. He takes his time, has a great attitude, and is a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much, James!

I can’t recommend The Other Bee Guy Bee Removal enough! Mr James (the owner) was incredibly responsive and professional. I had a bee issue that needed quick attention, and he showed up promptly and ready to go! The coolest part was he recorded the entire removal process and explained everything along the way in the video! It was fascinating to watch and so reassuring to understand what was happening. If you’re dealing with bees, this is the company you want to call. A+ service from start to finish!
