Bee Relocation
Need help getting rid of bees? Trust GGA Pest Management for humane hive removal and relocation services.
Live Bee Removal Services
Having a beehive too close to your home or business can be a real concern. While bees are an important species that should be protected, they’re still stinging insects that can pose a threat to the health and safety of young children, pets, and those with allergies.
At GGA Pest Management, we offer humane removal and relocation services for bee species. Our trained professionals carefully remove beehives and transport the colony to a safer, more suitable environment, allowing them to continue supporting our ecosystem without endangering your property or loved ones.

Why Honey Bees Are Important:
Pollination of Food Crops
Honey bees are responsible for pollinating nearly one-third of the food we eat, including many fruits, vegetables, nuts, and even crops like alfalfa that support the livestock industry.
Support for Biodiversity
In addition to pollinating crops, honey bees also help a wide variety of wild plants reproduce, supporting plant diversity. This is important for the survival of countless animal species that rely on these plants for food and shelter.
Sustaining Natural Habitats
Healthy forests, meadows, and wild landscapes all depend on pollination. Without bees, these habitats could begin to collapse, affecting everything from soil health to wildlife populations and the overall stability of entire ecosystems.
Economic Impact
Honey bees have a significant impact on the economy. Their pollination capabilities support farmers and other agricultural industries worldwide by boosting crop yields, enhancing food quality, and helping maintain a stable and affordable food supply.

Bees are not fully protected under U.S. federal regulations, which unfortunately leads many pest control companies to resort to extermination as the quickest and easiest solution. At GGA Pest Management, we believe in protecting our environment, and that includes the bee colonies that help keep our local ecosystems healthy.
Here’s how our relocation service works:
Assessment of the Hive
Before we attempt to remove the beehive, we conduct a detailed inspection. This includes:
- Species Identification: We determine whether you’re dealing with bees, wasps, or another stinging insect. If we confirm it’s a bee species, we’ll identify the exact type—like honey bees, carpenter bees, bumble bees, or mason bees—since each requires a unique approach.
- Colony Size Estimation: Knowing the size and population of the hive helps us choose the safest and most efficient removal strategy, especially if the colony is well-established.
- Accessibility Check: We assess the hive’s location—whether it’s high in a tree, inside a wall, or near power lines—and identify any structural barriers or hazards that could affect the removal.
- Urgency Evaluation: We assess any immediate risk to people or pets, potential structural damage, the colony’s aggression level, and seasonal factors that may impact the timing or complexity of removal.
Hive Removal
Once the assessment is complete, our team begins the removal process. Here’s how we approach it:
- Area Preparation: We gear up with full bee protection, including suits, gloves, and veils, and advise all residents to avoid the removal zone.
- Bee Calming Measures: Smoke may be used to calm the bees and reduce defensive behavior before removal.
- Gentle Collection: We use a bee vacuum or remove the hive comb by comb, ensuring the colony is preserved during the transfer.
- Hive Components Secured: Comb, brood, and honey stores are packed safely for transport.
- Minimized Disruption: We aim to keep the colony calm and intact to give them the best chance at survival in their new home.
Hive Relocation
Once the bees are safely removed from your property, our team will:
- Transfer and Re-establish the Hive: The colony is relocated to a safe, appropriate site—such as a local apiary or wildlife sanctuary—where we carefully reintroduce the bees and their comb into a prepared structure.
- Cleanup at Original Site: We thoroughly clean the former hive area to remove any residue or pheromones that could attract future swarms or encourage re-infestation.
- Offer Ongoing Prevention and Guidance: We offer expert guidance and professional exclusion services to help prevent future infestations. This includes sealing potential entry points and removing any attractants.
