Why bees choose Delray Beach homes

Delray Beach has five local historic districts, and their older homes give bees a lot of places to settle. Old School Square includes frame vernacular homes built between 1902 and 1945. Del-Ida Park, platted in 1923 with its diagonal streets, has Mediterranean and Mission style homes alongside Craftsman houses. The Marina district sits on the Intracoastal, Nassau Park is a small group of Cape Cod and Minimal Traditional cottages with clapboard siding from the late 1930s, and West Settlers is another of the city's historic districts.

Wood siding, clapboard and older eaves can develop gaps where a scout bee finds a dry wall cavity or attic. Newer homes around Lake Ida and the gated and 55+ communities in western Delray Beach are mostly block and stucco with tile roofs, so bees there tend to move into soffits, roof tile ends, AC line gaps and water meter or irrigation boxes.

Bee removal from older frame homes

In a frame or clapboard home, we take care to open only what's needed. We locate the colony first, then remove the section of siding, soffit or interior wall at the hive. After the bees and comb are out, we clean the cavity, seal the entry and offer structural repair. If your home is in a historic district, exterior changes may need city review, so check with the city before exterior repair work.

Signs you have a bee hive, not just a few bees

• A steady stream of bees flying in and out of the same small gap, day after day
• Humming behind a wall or ceiling, often loudest in the evening
• Bees appearing indoors near lights, vents or outlets
• Dark, sticky stains on a wall or ceiling, which can be honey leaking from comb

Live honey bee removal and relocation

We don't spray first. For live honey bee removal, we collect the bees with a low-suction bee vacuum, cut out the comb and relocate the colony away from your home. Leftover comb is a problem: wax softens in the heat, honey can leak through walls and ceilings, and old comb scent brings new swarms back. That's why bee hive removal always includes taking out the comb and sealing the entry.

Swarms and when extermination is safer

A cluster of bees on a branch, fence or eave is a swarm resting on its way to a new home. Keep people and pets back and see our bee swarm removal page. If a colony can't be removed alive safely, for example a very defensive colony beside a pool or bees that have already been sprayed, we'll explain the bee extermination option first, and we still remove the comb afterward.

Tips while you wait for bee removal

• Keep children and pets away from the bees.
• Don't plug the hole or spray inside it.
• Avoid mowing, trimming or pressure washing near the colony.
• If many bees come after you, cover your face and get inside a building or car.
