Honey bees play an essential role in pollination. For this reason, removing a colony does not always have to mean exterminating it.
Arterix’s published service policy is to relocate honey bees whenever relocation is physically possible.
The feasibility of relocation depends on factors such as the colony’s location, access to the nesting area, and the condition of the structure.
Not every colony can be safely or practically relocated. Some situations may require further evaluation before an appropriate method can be selected.
If honeybee relocation is physically impossible, Arterix offers chemical treatment.
Any pesticide application must follow the product label and applicable regulations, with appropriate precautions for occupants, animals, and the surrounding environment.
Colonies located inside building cavities may also present additional considerations, including remaining comb, honey, and other nesting material.
Customers should confirm whether any structural access, comb removal, cleaning, or repairs are included in their quote or require separate services.
The first step is to identify the insects involved and assess the location of the suspected colony.
Not every group of flying bees indicates an established colony inside the building. Proper identification helps determine the appropriate response.
Arterix evaluates whether the colony can be relocated.
Where relocation is not physically possible, the company may recommend an appropriate chemical treatment.
Colonies in walls, attics, and other concealed spaces may require special access or additional work.
Before beginning service, customers should confirm the quoted scope, any height-related charges, and whether separate repairs or cleaning are required.
The published honeybee service includes a season-long guarantee.
The exact coverage period, included follow-up services, exclusions, and conditions should be confirmed in the written agreement.
A colony located near a busy entrance or inside a building can create concerns about stings, access, and property maintenance.
Honey bees may defend their colony when disturbed. Attempting to open a wall, block a colony entrance, or remove a hive without appropriate experience can increase the risk of stings and complications.
Professional assessment can help determine whether the bees should be left undisturbed, relocated, or otherwise managed.
Honey bees, yellowjackets, paper wasps, and hornets are different insects with different nesting habits and management needs.
