Live Bee Removal

Honeybee colonies inside walls need expert extraction, not extermination. We perform detailed cut-outs to reach the nest, vacuum the bees safely, and transfer them to our local apiaries. As a licensed contractor (PA#105107), we complete the job without leaving a mess. Our skilled crew handles live bee removal so the colony gets a second chance while your home is cleared of stinging hazards. We focus on keeping the queen safe during the move.

Structural Restoration

Honeycomb Removal

Leaving sticky wax behind attracts rodents, moisture, and other pests into your structure. We clean the entire cavity after the colony is relocated, scraping out every trace of wax and honey. Our family owned & operated crew performs detailed honeycomb removal so your walls remain clean and dry. We prep the open space for complete structural repair, preventing future swarms from being drawn back to the lingering scent of old honey.

About Honeybee Rescue Company

Humane Conservation and Repair

Honeybee Rescue Company grew out of a backyard beekeeping hobby started by Ty Kelius and his mother, Linda. What began as a passion for apiary management soon grew into a specialized contracting enterprise.

Since our professional founding in 2017, our family owned & operated team has provided humane bee relocation and property repairs. We operate out of Gilbertsville, PA, serving homeowners who want to protect both their houses and our local pollinator populations. Our approach sets us apart from standard exterminators. We are beekeepers first, meaning we understand how to safely extract, re-queen, and rehabilitate colonies at our private apiaries. Every extraction is backed by our background as licensed contractors (PA#105107), allowing us to rebuild the walls we open during the cut-out process. We follow the guidelines set by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture to maintain healthy, registered apiary sites. By choosing our crew, you make sure that bees find a safe new home while your property is restored to its original condition.
