Hive Removals

Honeybee hives are established and are characterized by the presence of honeycomb, beeswax, honey, and thousands of honeybees. Unwelcomed colonies are often found inside the walls of houses, buildings and/or other structures. If you suspect that you have an established honeybee hive, please reach out to us at info@torontobeerescue.ca and attach photos of the bees entering the structure or of the hive.

Once a photo is received, we will verify that they are honeybees and review your specific situation to determine where the honeybee hive is located. Based on the location, we will advise you of the methods available for removal.   

Our hive removal services include the removal of the honeybees, brood, wax and honey. We scrape the area clean and then seal the cavity. We seal the area to prevent other honeybee colonies from reoccupying the same area. 

We then rehome the honeybees in one of our established apiaries, allowing them to thrive in an appropriate environment.  

Note: We strongly recommend that you do not spray the bees with pesticides. Pesticides will kill the honeybee colony, but you will be left with rotting bees, brood, honey and wax in your home. This will then attract other critters to your home and may cause further damage.
