Honeybees play an important role in pollination, but when they gather around your home or establish a colony inside a wall, attic, or other structure, professional assistance may be necessary.

Bee Control provides honeybee removal services throughout Indianapolis and surrounding communities. Our approach depends on where the bees are located and whether they have established a permanent nest.

 

Honeybee Swarm Removal and Relocation

A honeybee swarm typically appears as a large cluster of bees gathered on a tree branch, fence, or another outdoor surface. Swarming is a natural part of honeybee reproduction, and these bees are often searching for a new place to establish a colony.

When honeybees are gathered in an accessible swarm, Bee Control can relocate them alive. This approach helps protect your property while preserving these valuable pollinators.

​

Honeybee Colonies Inside Walls and Structures

When honeybees establish a colony inside a wall, roof, or another difficult-to-access location, live relocation may not be practical.

In these situations, Bee Control provides professional colony treatment to eliminate the infestation. Our technicians assess the location and determine an appropriate treatment approach based on the accessibility and conditions of the nesting area.

​

Important: Bee Control does not open walls, remove structural materials, or extract honeycomb from inside buildings. If honeycomb or other nesting materials remain after treatment, homeowners are responsible for arranging removal and any necessary structural repairs with a qualified contractor.

We recommend addressing remaining honeycomb and sealing entry points after the colony has been eliminated to help prevent future problems.

Signs You May Have a Honeybee Infestation

• Large clusters of honeybees gathering on trees, fences, or structures.

• Bees repeatedly entering and exiting the same opening in a wall or roof.

• Persistent buzzing sounds coming from inside a wall or ceiling.

• Increased honeybee activity around a particular area of your home.

• Honey or wax appearing near an established nesting location.

Our Honeybee Removal Process

Step 1: Inspect and Identify

We assess the honeybee activity, identify the location, and determine whether the bees are swarming or have established a colony.

Step 2: Determine the Appropriate Removal Method

Accessible honeybee swarms may be relocated alive. Established colonies inside walls or other difficult-to-access spaces may require targeted treatment.

Step 3: Recommend Next Steps

After service, we explain what was done and recommend any additional steps that may be necessary to address nesting materials, entry points, or future bee activity.
