There are two main reasons that we prefer live bee removal. Live bee removal is just as effective as methods used to exterminate bees, and it has several advantages. This means that we keep the bees alive as we move them from your property to farms throughout southern California where they are tended to by bee keepers. Hive Pro is committed to using the most environmentally friendly methods of bee control. Hives in roofs are especially problematic, as the honey will start to drip through the drywall ceiling. Lastly, the honey itself can cause damage to the building: if there are no bees present to tend to the hive and maintain the temperature of the honey-comb, it will melt and seep into building materials. These pests will also try to get into the abandoned hive to feast. Honey is an attractive food source for many other pests such as rats, roaches, and ants, as well. Even if the hive space is sealed, bees will make hives in other parts of the structure, or in nearby trees. If they smell honey-comb they will attempt to re-occupy the site. Bees have a very fine sense of smell, and the odor of an old hive will attract bees in the surrounding area for years. There are a few reasons it is necessary to remove the honey-comb, even if all the bees have been removed or eradicated. Our structural pest control license entitles us to do repairs and modifications associated with pests. Hive Pro’s expert technicians have years of experience repairing stucco, drywall, plaster, carpentry, siding and roofs ( roof repairs are guaranteed leak-free).
When we remove bee hives from buildings, we repair any openings made to extract the hive, and completely seal the structure as a final precaution. The service comes with a warranty insuring that the bees will not come back. Hive Pro removes all the honeycomb, cleans the hive space and treats the area to eliminate odors of the honey-comb and bee pheromones.
When bees have been working on a hive for a few months it is typical for the hive to weigh 10 to 20 pounds, and if a bee hive has been around for a year or more it is not uncommon for it to weigh hundreds of pounds. After just a week, bees can make more than a pound of honey-comb. Bees start to make honey-comb a day or two after arriving at a hive location. Honeycomb is made of a waxy hexagonal structure that holds liquid honey and bee larvae called brood. When we’re performing a bee hive removal, we not only remove the actual bees, we remove the honey-comb that they’ve made as well.
