Live bee removals safely performed by local beekeepers and structural builders.





Humane Colony Relocations
If honeybees have moved into your walls, siding, or roofline, finding a safe solution is your main priority. We provide professional live bee removal Gilbertsville families rely on to clear active colonies without resorting to chemical extermination. Our team works directly inside the structure, extracting the entire nest safely so the insects can be moved to a protected environment.
Our co-owners, Ty Kelius and Alyssa Kelius, founded this partnership to provide a safe, humane alternative to standard pest control. We believe that honeybees are highly valuable to our local ecosystem, so we do not use poison or chemical sprays on healthy colonies. Instead, we perform detailed structural cutouts, using gentle vacuum systems designed to collect the bees without causing them harm. Once the insects are safely in our transport hives, we move them directly to our private apiary where they can recover and continue pollinating.
In Montgomery County, our local weather patterns play a major role in how bees behave. The transition from warm, humid summers to freezing Pennsylvania winters forces bees to seek highly insulated spaces. Wood-frame homes in Gilbertsville present perfect cavities for scout bees looking to establish a new hive. If a colony is left to grow inside your wall, they will build heavy combs filled with honey. During hot summer days or when the colony dies, this honey melts and can soak through your drywall, leading to major structural damage. This is why immediate, professional extraction is vital.
We work in residential properties across the local area, handling everything from small swarms on tree branches to complex, multi-year colonies established deep inside brick or siding. To make sure that future swarms do not return to the same spot, we perform a thorough cleanup of the cavity, removing all wax, honey, and pheromone scents. We then link our extraction work directly with structural restoration, using our construction background to seal the entry points permanently.
As registered apiary owners who follow the rules set by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, we guarantee that your bees go to a safe, managed sanctuary. Our family team handles every step of the relocation, making sure your home is cleared and the colony is preserved. For complete protection, we recommend combining this service with our professional honeycomb removal Gilbertsville Pa and full repair restoration Gilbertsville Pa options.

Pricing Guide
What Affects Bee Removal Pricing
Access Height and Angle
Working on steep rooflines, high dormers, or chimneys requires specialized ladder systems or scaffolding, which increases setup time.
Age and Size of the Hive
A fresh swarm that arrived yesterday is much faster to relocate than an established hive containing sixty pounds of honeycomb.
The Contractor You Choose
Hiring licensed and insured crews keeps your property safe. We hold active credentials under PA License #105107, which ensures we can safely manage your structure. Cheaper quotes from unlicensed laborers often mean skipped steps, missing insurance coverage, and no protection if your home is damaged.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need Live Bee Extraction
A low, continuous vibration or buzzing sound behind your drywall indicates an active, working nest.
Bees entering and exiting a specific crack or gap in your exterior siding shows they have established a home.
Dark, sweet spots showing up on your walls or ceilings mean old honeycomb is starting to fail inside the cavity.
