Call (209) 563-1650Frequently asked questions
Are honey bees killed or relocated?
Honey bees are valuable pollinators and are relocated where it is practical, especially a resting swarm. An established colony inside a wall is more complex and is assessed case by case.
Why must honeycomb come out of a wall?
If a wall colony is removed or dies, the leftover comb and honey can melt, stain, smell and attract other pests. Removing the comb and sealing the cavity prevents those secondary problems.
What should I do about a swarm on a tree?
A resting swarm is usually calm and temporary — keep people and pets back and call for assessment. Many swarms can be collected and relocated rather than exterminated.
