Meter Boxes
Meter boxes are common. These hives can easily be removed, placed into a hive box and relocated for no charge. If you have bees in your meter box, then contact us for removal.
FAQ
Question #1: I have a swarm of bees on my property. How do I protect myself and my family?
Answer: Leave them alone. Bee swarms are not usually aggressive and will not sting unless provoked. They are looking for a new home and are not trying to protect an existing home.
Call us as soon as you see a swarm. We will relocate the bees to a new home for free.
Question #2: I have bees in the walls or eaves of my house. Can I get someone to take the bees and honey for free? Can't any beekeeper remove them?
Answer: Removing them from trees or meter boxes is a straightforward job and is done without any charge.
However, if you have bees inside the walls of a structure, removing them is a job that requires hours or days of hard work. Most beekeepers are not insured and bonded to this type of work. This is why we work with Adams Bee Removal Services for beehives that are enclosed in walls or soffets.
Question #3: Can't I just kill the bees myself?
Answer: Bees can be killed with dish detergent mixed in water or with pesticides. However, the problem lies with the comb and honey left inside your structure.
If not removed, the honey can run down the walls and cause damage to your building. Also, the remaining comb and honey attracts other bees to take up residence inside your structure.

Bee swarms are most common in the spring when a queen leaves the old hive with a large group of worker bees to find a new home. They often cluster together in a ball in a tree on their way to a new home.
