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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 The NaplesBees apiary owner is licensed by the state of Florida for live bee removal.\u00a0 Not all types of removals can be done, based on various factors including access to the hive or space in my apiary.<\/em><\/span>\u00a0 Click <\/span>here<\/span><\/a> to contact NaplesBees for a quick response to any request.\u00a0 Below is a chronological listing of a few of the bee removals done over the years.\u00a0
