Hundreds of bee removals from trees/houses/roofs/sheds/water meters/etc have been done over the years. Hive access is sometimes difficult and sometimes easy. Every removal situation is different and always an adventure.  If you have bees that need removing give us a chance to relocate them to a good home in an area hobby beekeeper’s apiary.  Not all types of removals can be done by NaplesBees and there is no charge, but donations are always appreciated.  Click here to contact NaplesBees for a quick response to your request.  Below is a chronological listing of various past bee removals done over the years.

3/30/2019 – This hive removal was from a extra large water meter box in Port Royal.  Most of the removed comb was as wide and high as a deep frame because the bees built the comb crosswise in the water meter box.
