Florida Bee Removal

Florida bee removal is like no other place  in the bee removal experience I am sure. It is a big state with a big population. The structures are many ranging from single family stucco covered homes up to high-rise condos and we had done them all. When the phone rings you never what will be on the other line. Also, you never know what sort of adventure you are going on that you did not expect. We got two calls in the same same day for bees located under a shed floor. On one shed we  cut a little doorway in  the floor and discover a beautiful colony of European descent honeybees. In this case we take our Bee  equipment off because the suit was hot and the bees were peaceful.

The client sees us handle the bees with  bare hands and re-homing them into a box and are amazed. On the next job we feel like we are stars of a reality series. Nature man. But when I  moved that little old dresser in a shed to get to spot where I could cut a door in the floor to get the bees, just the motion was enough to stir a football size wad of angry demons from hell out from under the floor and after me and my son. I had just enough time to yell to  the client “ run to the house” she did barely escape,  my son jumped in the tcab of the truck and rolled up the window.

 Stupid me, I  thought I could out run the bees! Ha! No way, a dozen stings or more and I am on fire. I told my client “I am going home, another day for this job”  Florida beeremoval is that way.  The Africanized honeybee was brought from Africa to the tropics because of their ability to sustain large colonies in such an environment. The environment in southern Florida is not too dissimilar to some environments in Africa. Dont think you are all “nature man” and think your cool vibe will be understood by the bees. These bees will hurt you. Call us for a free consultation.  

Honey Bee Relocation

Many people ask what is the difference between honeybeeextermination and honeybee relocation. The difference is night and day. Extermination , no matter how it is performed usually consists of a chemical applicator arriving on the scene and the deciding what sort of toxic chemical is necessary for killing the insects. This service is usually performed by spraying the chemical directly into the hole where the bees are entering. If the chemical is strong enough this can kill all the bees in the colony. 

But  if the colony has been in the structure for more than a few weeks you must expect that there will be honeycomb in the wall. This is before we get around to discussing the ethics of saving bees versus killing bees. The economics of your decision entirely have to do with the presence of honeycomb. The extermination is cheaper generally but like I said it does not deal with the fact of honeycomb in your walls. 

HoneyBeerelocation compaines are more effective at dealing with the honeycomb found in the wall. Most honeybee relocation companies also go to great extremes at cleaning the structure of all honeycomb wax. But just because someone does a live removal and even goes to the length of cleaning your structure of its honeycomb you still need to make sure to get someone to close the structure and give you a warranty too. Eco Bee removal does honeybee relocation only and we do it all.

Bee Removal Orlando

Bee removal Orlando has a lot of variables. You have the older homes in the old district and you have the common block and stick homes in the suburbs. Since the cost of bee removal is depends on where the bees end up you need to know these points. Bee removal has these factors; How high off the ground, where are the bees located and how long have they been there. How high off the ground has is significant because working off ground level and working off a high ladder has to do with time. It takes more time to climb ladders dragging up all that equipment. You have to work a lot slower to because its dangerous to work up high in a bee suite.

Where the bees are located is important because the amount of space available for bees to fill with honeycomb will determine that amount of “potential work to be performed”. A bigger space means possibly more work if it’s filled with honey, it’s that simple. The amount of space in a soffit is less than the space one will find in a frame wall. So when you say you have bees in the wall for 6 months then the tech is going to think 1 to 3 buckets of honeycomb possible to remove and thousands of bees. In a floor the space is even bigger.

That’s why a good estimate should offer a low price and a high price with the final number only being determined when the structure is opened and analyzed. Just because the bees are in the wall for a long time does not mean that bee removal Orlando means it will have to be a large colony.. Bees in a wall are just like bees in nature, they suffer from lack of food or from mites and diseases that affect all bees. So even though you may have bees for a long time and you are expecting a large colony, no one knows until you open the structure. So when it comes to Bee Removal Orando,  be careful of a “flat rate”, that should raise a red flag. An honest bid should allow for luck to end on the side of the client.

Bee Removal Gainesville

If we get calls from people wanting beeremoval Gainesville area I think trees.  Gainesville is not a heavily populated area and I think the odds are more towards bees infesting trees over buildings, though we have done a number of bee removals from barns and sheds. Bee removal Gainesville means trees, big oak trees that have been hit by lightning. Then that branch or burned out trunk begins to rot out and it forms a knothole in the tree. This is a perfect place for a bee swarm to make a home.

It’s a tricky thing to provide a permanent solution to a bee problem in a tree. There is honeycomb in the tree. That’s a super attractant to other bees and if you are not careful with your bee removal Gainesville you will be repeating this whole exercise all over again within a year.  So, sealing the tree is a very important step and the final step in most cases as there is usually only one hole in each tree. 

Be advised that the lower down in a tree trunk you find a knothole the more the possibility of their being a second hole in a tree. That means your contractor should be taking the time to look over the tree for holes and cracks and close them up too. If you did not know this the best you might find is someone who will spray the hole and leave. If you choose to go this route make sure you take the time to inspect the tree yourself and close up and hole or cracks that you might see. No one knows how big the hole inside the tree.  This is important if you plan to take the tree down. If you are not careful you might think you have handled your bee problem only to find that the first cut opens up an angry bee done. So bee removal Gainesville should be done carefully.

Bee hive removal Jacksonville

People will call about a Bee hive removal Jacksonville and ask for free consultation, we love to help you out. You can learn most of what you need over the phone. First of all, you might be interested to know that when you see bees in your home  or in a tree this is not called a Bee Hive. Be hives are the boxes the beekeepers place bees in and raise for honey. That box is called a hive box. When bees are found in nature they are called a Colony of Honeybees. When a Colony gets too big for the space it is in it will divide into two colonies by hatching another queen and the older queen will flee with approximately half of the worker bees. When they take flight there is yet another name for them and that is called a Swarm of bees. So when one calls about bee removal Jacksonville the first question is “do you have a Colony or a Swarm?

Generally a Swarm of bees have been on premises for a week or less and have not have had much time to start building up Honeycomb wax and there is no larva growing yet. But it does not take long and a large swarm can go to work very fast building up honeycomb and now you have an established Colony of bees. 

If you just came across the bees it’s hard to say how long they have been there. If you see a large ball of bees don’t assume it’s been there a long time. A swarm the size of a basketball can show up in an hour and leave in one minute.  So you say you are looking for Bee hive removal Jacksonville? Nope, you have a Swarm or a Colony, which is it.
