Why spraying pesticides does not work:

I can not emphasize enough on how spraying honey bees with pesticides is not only super rude, but only makes a bigger mess if they are even affective at all. Imagine pounds of eggs, larva, honey, wax, dead bees, and pollen left unattended if a colony is successfully exterminated by spray technique. This will attract many more unwanted visitors such as ants, cockroaches, mice, rats, wax months, hive beetles, and much more for the years to come. Then when these odorous left overs are cleaned out, honey bees typical smell the remains of the old cavity and reinfest to repeat the cycle.

ABOUT BALLZ BEEZ

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 immediately 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. Stay connected with us and follow us on Facebook.
