LIVE BEE REMOVAL
Here at APA BEE REMOVAL, we offer Live and Humane Bee Removal (with relocation and care taking) Our method of Live Bee Removal is to ensure the life of the bees from the start of the removal process until the last step when the Bee’s arrive at our Bee Farm. Our Bee removal Process is the most natural and humane way possible; it is also less stressful and does not harm the Bee’s. Here at APA Bee Removal when we do a Live Bee Removal, we don’t use chemicals or vacuums to remove bees. We carefully remove the hive, and thoroughly clean the area to ensure that no honey residue or hive structure is left behind. Then we relocate the bees to our Farms (98 miles north) or by donating them to our local beekeepers to give them a place to live where they can thrive. This Type of Live Bee Removal is “Live Bee Removal (with relocation and care taking). This is the true form of a live and humane removal where the Bees are taken to an apiary, farm, or local beekeeper. In this scenario, the bees are taking care of from the removal process and long after they have been relocated. This is what most people think of when they think about Live Bee Removal, but sadly it is not common in the bee removal industry. Below are the types of Live and Human Bee Removal
This type of bee removal can be misleading. Technically the bees are removed alive, but that does not always mean they will survive. Unfortunately, there are some people in the industry that mislead people by claiming they perform live removal, but they do not actually save the bees. These companies often use shop vacs (or vacuums that are not modified to be gentle). The problem with regular vacuums is that the bees become injured when they are sucked up into the chamber of the vacuum. Only a fraction of the bees survives, which inevitably causes the entire colony to die off. Technically these companies are not lying. It is technically a live removal…but it sure is not humane.
Type 2 = Live Bee Removal Catch and Release
The next type of bee removal is one where the bees are removed alive in a humane way, but not necessarily looked after or cared for afterward. Companies that perform this type of bee removal often do not have a place to put the bees. It is because they do not have the land or space to set up beehive boxes.
Type 3 = Live Bee Removal With Relocation
This type of bee removal is when a company or bee professional not only removes the bees humanely, but also relocates them to a beehive box. In other words, the bees are not dumped randomly or illegally, but placed in a reserved spot, hopefully in a proper beehive box. The problem with this type of bee removal is that it does not ensure that the bees will have enough food and water. They are often not re queened to control aggression. In other words, they are simply left on their own, to prosper or thrive on their own. No care is given to help ensure the colonies continued survival. This type of bee removal is better than the previous two, but the next type is the one all people should seek out when looking for a humane bee removal company.

Why Do Honey Bees Swarm?
Swarms are the method by which honey bee colonies reproduce. 20-50% of the colony leaves the hive with the old queen, landing within a couple hundred feet of the hive they left from. They usually end up on tree branches, but sometimes they'll decide to land elsewhere, such as on mailboxes, cars, fences, door handles or anything else you can think of. This is only temporary, though, as the colony sends out scouts to find a new, permanent home. This is often a tree cavity, but any sufficiently large and dry cavity is suitable. Honey bees often choose wall cavities in houses because they are safe, dry places in which they can thrive.
How To Identify a Honeybee Swarm?
How to identify a honeybee swarm: Other insects a like wasps, yellow jackets, and bumble bees are often mistaken for honeybees. A swarm of honeybees have a few distinct features you can look out for. Individual bees have fuzzy black and gold bodies, and the swarm overall will appear as a distinctive, hanging clump. This clumping behavior makes it possible for beekeepers to gently collect and transport the bees.
More Information:
Swarming is the natural means of reproduction for honeybee colonies. A new honeybee colony is formed when the Queen Bee leaves the colony with a large group of worker bees, a process called swarming. In the prime swarm, about 60% of the worker bees leave the original hive location with the old queen. This swarm can contain thousands to tens of thousands of bees. Swarming is mainly a spring phenomenon, usually within a two or three week period depending on the locale but occasional swarms can happen throughout the producing season.

Why We Love Bees?
Bees are beneficial insects for nature as they help pollinize many of our food crops, including almonds, apples, avocados, blueberries, cantaloupes, cherries, cranberries, cucumbers, sunflowers, watermelon, and many other crops. However, when beehives or swarms get out of control they can become a problem and cause danger to people and property, especially in densely populated areas
Just a few Honeybees or wasps could mean problems. Whether you see just a handful of bees in a tree, bees on the roof, or bees in the wall, there might be more. A lot more! There could actually be upwards of 10,000 to 50,000 bees inside setting up camp.
