Types of Bee Removals

We offer live bee removal and safe extermination, depending on your needs and the hive’s location.

Live Bee Removal

At Busy Bee Pest Solutions, live bee removal is our passion—and our promise. Whenever possible, we rescue honey bees using gentle, humane techniques that keep both you and the bees safe.

How does it work?

Instead of spraying harmful chemicals or destroying the hive, our trained technicians use a special bee vacuum—a soft-suction device designed just for bees. This lets us carefully collect the entire swarm or hive, including the queen, without harm. The bees are drawn gently into a breathable container, staying calm and unharmed throughout the process.

What happens next?

Once the bees are safely removed, we:

  • Transport the hive to a local beekeeper or a safe relocation site where they can continue pollinating and thriving—away from homes and public spaces.
  • Remove honeycomb and clean the site to prevent attracting new swarms.
  • Seal the area and apply pheromone deterrents to keep future colonies from moving in.

Why live removal?

  • It’s eco-friendly. Bees are critical for Arizona’s agriculture and local gardens.
  • It’s humane. We love bees! Our methods keep them alive and healthy.
  • It’s safer. Less chemical use means safer homes for families and pets.

On the right, see our team in action—watch as we gently vacuum up a wild swarm, giving them a new lease on life!

Treatment (When Necessary)

At Bee Removal Phoenix by Busy Bee Pest Solutions, live removal is always our first choice—but sometimes, the hive’s location makes that impossible. We want you to understand exactly why:

Why can’t we always use the bee vacuum?

Some hives embed themselves deep inside walls, irrigation boxes, or other tight spaces. When bees build extensive honeycomb in these areas, they cling stubbornly to the structure and each other. No matter how carefully we use our gentle vacuum, the bees will hold on—making live removal extremely difficult or unsafe.

In these cases, the only option is to use targeted extermination for the safety of everyone involved.

  • Embedded hives can pose serious dangers—especially if disturbed or left to grow.
  • Hidden honeycomb often attracts new bees or pests, increasing risk to your home, family, or pets.

We know this is never ideal. That’s why we urge you:
Call us as soon as you see bees starting to build a hive!
When caught early, we can almost always relocate them safely and humanely.

After extermination:

  • We thoroughly remove all honeycomb and residue.
  • We seal the area and apply deterrent pheromones, so you won’t have to worry about future infestations.

Your safety comes first, always. If you have any questions, we’re here to talk you through your options and find the best solution for you and the bees.

Removing honeycomb after treatment—thorough cleanup is key!
These bees were deeply established inside the stucco wall. We had to carefully remove the hive before the summer heat could melt the wax, attracting new bees—or worse, causing structural damage.

Africanized Bees in Arizona: Stronger, Smarter, and Sometimes Dangerous

Over the past few decades, bees in Arizona have evolved at a remarkable pace. Most wild bee colonies here are now Africanized honey bees—a hybrid species that has adapted to our extreme desert climate through sheer evolutionary brilliance.

What makes Africanized bees in Phoenix unique?

  • Extreme Heat Tolerance: These bees are built for Arizona. Their powerful wings not only carry them farther in search of food and water, but also work overtime to keep the hive cool, even on the hottest summer days.
  • Endurance and Distance: Africanized bees can travel long distances to find resources, making them exceptionally resilient and resourceful.
  • Rapid Evolution: Decades of adaptation have made these bees stronger and more efficient than ever, thriving where many other pollinators struggle.

Why aren’t all hives aggressive?

Not every hive is a threat. Swarming bees—those moving to a new home—are typically docile, since they have nothing to defend yet. Likewise, hives with easy access to food and water are often calm and unconcerned with passersby.

But if a hive is stressed or in survival mode—maybe food is scarce, or they feel threatened—they can become highly defensive. Africanized bees are especially quick to switch into protection mode if they sense danger to their queen or their honeycomb.

Why avoid any wild hive?

The challenge is, you can’t tell from a distance whether a hive will be calm or dangerously aggressive. Even the most peaceful-looking colony can turn protective in a heartbeat if disturbed. That’s why it’s never worth the risk of approaching or disturbing a hive, no matter how quiet it seems.

If you see bees building a hive or notice a swarm nearby, the safest thing to do is call the experts right away. We’re trained to assess, relocate, or treat any bee situation—protecting you, your family, and the bees.

Stay safe, stay curious, and let Bee Removal Phoenix handle the rest!

Africanized bees can build a hive almost anywhere—including this abandoned Porsche. Their adaptability and resilience make them a challenge for Phoenix homeowners, as they can thrive in even the most unexpected places.
A hive thriving inside a common irrigation box. With steady moisture and protection, these colonies can grow huge—and are often less aggressive, since they’re less stressed for resources.
An exposed hive under the eave of a home—likely a very stressed colony. Hives in open, high-traffic areas are at greater risk of becoming highly defensive and dangerous. All wild hives should be avoided for safety.
