Dr. Jack's
Dr. Jack's offers professional bee removal services for exactly those moments. We look at more than the opening where bees are flying in and out. Our team pays attention to how active the bees are, how long they may have been there, and how close they are to doors, play areas, and outdoor living spaces.

A few bees visiting your flowers is normal. It becomes a real concern when you notice a steady stream slipping into a gap in the siding, soffit, or a hollow tree near where people spend time. Suddenly, the yard, porch, or pool area feels less like a place to relax and more like something you need to watch.
Whenever it can be done safely, we recommend live bee removal and relocation instead of simply destroying the colony. That way you get your space back, and a healthy group of pollinators has a chance to keep working in a better location.
If bees are close to high traffic areas, we treat the situation as a priority. From your first call through final cleanup, you can expect a calm, professional approach and clear explanations of every step.
Bee problems do not all look the same. The right solution depends on whether you are dealing with a temporary swarm or a long established hive hidden inside a structure. Dr. Jack’s offers several bee removal services so we can match what we do to what you are actually seeing.
A swarm often appears suddenly. One day everything looks normal. The next day you walk outside and see a large cluster of bees hanging on a tree branch, fence rail, mailbox, or even the side of the house. It is an intense sight and easy to worry about, but a swarm is usually in transition, resting while scout bees search for a permanent home.
This is the best time to call Dr. Jack's. If that swarm moves into a wall cavity, soffit, or roof space, removal becomes more complex and more expensive. When we are contacted early, we can often collect the swarm in a single visit with very little disruption to your routine.
During a swarm visit, we confirm that you are dealing with honey bees and not another stinging insect, gently collect the cluster, and reduce scent where practical so future swarms are less likely to choose the same area.
If bees have been active in one area for a while, there is almost always more behind the surface than the few insects you see at the entrance. Inside the structure there may be comb, brood, honey, and wax built into a hidden cavity. Spraying the opening or sealing the crack may quiet activity for a short time, but it does not remove the hive and can lead to leaks, odors, stains, or secondary pests.
Dr. Jack's treats hive removal as both a safety task and a structural project. We locate the hive, estimate its size and age, and choose the most sensible way to access it. Then we remove bees and comb in a controlled, methodical way and clean up honey and residue so the area is less attractive to future colonies.
The goal is not just to stop the buzzing at the entrance. It is to leave you with a clean, dry, stable space that is ready for repair.
Some situations need a faster response. Bees over a front step, near a pool, around a play set, or along a busy walkway can create real concern, especially when allergies or past reactions are part of the picture.
For these cases, Dr. Jack's offers priority scheduling and, when possible, rapid or same day service. When we arrive, we start by securing the immediate area and keeping people away from the highest risk zone. Then we select the safest and most effective method for removing or relocating the bees based on what we see on site.
During an emergency visit, our focus is straightforward. Reduce the chance of stings, keep the situation calm, and remove the hazard in a steady, professional way.
There is no single price for bee removal because every situation is different. The cost depends on what we find when we assess your property. A few key factors include whether you are dealing with a temporary swarm or an established hive, how accessible the location is, and whether we need to open part of a wall, soffit, or roof to reach the colony.
Swarms that are still outside and have not moved into a structure are usually simpler and more affordable to handle. Hives that have been active behind walls or in roof spaces require more time, care, and cleanup.
When you contact Dr. Jack’s, we start with a few focused questions and, when helpful, review photos you can share. If an on site inspection is needed, we schedule that next. Once we understand the situation, we explain the recommended approach and provide clear pricing so you can make a confident decision before any work begins.
Although each property is unique, our bee removal process follows a clear path so you know what to expect from start to finish.
Step
1
We begin with inspection and assessment. This may include a phone conversation, review of photos, and an in person visit. We identify entry points, listen for hive activity, and determine whether you are dealing with a swarm or an established hive.
Step
2
Next, we carry out the removal. That might involve gently collecting a swarm, opening a small section of structure, or accessing a roof line. Throughout this step, we focus on containing or relocating the bees and keeping nearby people and pets safe.
Step
3
Once the bees are removed, we address comb, honey, and residue. Cleaning this material out helps reduce scent that can attract new colonies to the same spot and makes the area easier to repair.
Step
4
Finally, we review what we found and share practical prevention tips. That may include sealing small gaps, adjusting outdoor lighting, or making modest changes in landscaping that can make your property less appealing to future colonies.
Many regions have guidelines or regulations that encourage the protection of bees and other pollinators. Dr. Jack’s follows all applicable rules and favors relocation and low toxicity methods whenever they can be used safely.
Our first choice is always live removal and relocation. In most situations, that approach is both possible and recommended. If we encounter a case where relocation is not safe or realistic, we explain the reasons and use the most targeted and least harmful option available.
Response time depends on the season, our current schedule, and how urgent your situation is. Active swarms or bees near busy entries, walkways, or play areas are treated as higher priority. When you call, we are direct about timing and work to offer the soonest appropriate visit.
If hive material, honey, and scent are left behind, other bees can be attracted to the same area. That is why our service includes hive removal and cleanup where possible, along with suggestions to help keep the space less appealing in the future.
Our process is planned with families and pets in mind. We usually recommend that pets and children stay indoors while we work and for a short period afterward. Because we focus on physical removal and low toxicity methods, the service is designed to be as safe and gentle as possible.
If you are starting to notice bee activity around your home or business, it is easier and safer to address it early.
