How Ballz Beez Got Started

Our passion for this work began in 2018 while cutting down some cherry trees for hardwood flooring. While cutting, we noticed a colony of bees in an old, rotten tree trunk. 

At the time, we were in the process of cloning blueberry bushes and thought that it would be awesome to have bees at the house to benefit from their pollination of the flowers. So we started to remove the bees. Looking back, it’s quite humbling to see our inefficient method of removing the colony from that tree stump and into a bee box. It literally took months. Yes, months. 

Once the colony was safely moved to a bee box, (months later), we were able to examine the colony. We were immediatly hooked. It was incredibly captivating to watch the organization, unity, communication, harmony, and spirited work ethics that the colony possessed. 

After a few more successful, however challenging hive removals, we began to scour the internet to learn from the pros. And we learned that the only way to truly evacuate a colony from an unwanted structure was to go in after them. Yes, just go right in.

We have now successfully removed and relocated over 25 colonies with no failed attempts and we are ready to help you with your hive or colony as well.
