Live bee removal vs. bee extermination in Florida

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) leaves the choice to the property owner. There are two paths:

Live bee removal: the bees and comb are removed and the colony is relocated. FDACS allows registered beekeepers to do this work.
Bee extermination: the colony is killed. In Florida, this has to be done by a licensed pest control company.

We offer both, and we will tell you which one makes sense for your situation before any work starts.

Africanized honey bees in Miami-Dade

University of Florida researchers report that Africanized honey bees are established in southern Florida. They look the same as European honey bees, and only a lab test can tell them apart. That is why we treat every wild colony with care, and why you should never disturb a hive yourself. Read our Africanized bees in Florida guide to see how hard a colony can defend itself, and what to do if bees come after you.

What a complete bee hive removal includes

Before you hire anyone, FDACS suggests asking how the job will be finished. A complete bee hive removal should cover:

Removing the bees
Removing all of the honeycomb and honey, not just the bees
Repairing what had to be opened to reach the hive
Sealing the entry so new bees do not move in

Comb left behind can draw pests. See the worms we found inside honeycombs after an amateur bee removal.

Miami-Dade Bee Removal FAQ

Do I have to keep the bees alive? No. In Florida, the property owner decides whether a colony is removed alive or exterminated. We will explain both options. How do I know if my bees are Africanized? You cannot tell by looking. Africanized and European honey bees look the same, so treat every wild colony as potentially defensive and keep your distance. What should I ask a bee removal company? FDACS suggests asking for the company’s beekeeper registration or pest control license number, proof of liability insurance, and whether it will remove the comb, make repairs and seal the entry.
