Live bee removal
Safe removal of honeybees from homes, businesses, trees, irrigation boxes and other challenging spaces.
Humane bee removal · South Florida
ComBEEnation combines producing honey with saving honeybees. We safely remove and relocate colonies, giving every hive a second chance. Family-run, bee-first, South Florida.
What we do
Bee problems need more than pest control. Our careful, hands-on approach protects your space while preserving the colony whenever removal is possible.
Safe removal of honeybees from homes, businesses, trees, irrigation boxes and other challenging spaces.
We move the rescued colony into a proper hive and relocate it to one of our managed apiaries.
Quick assessment and collection before a temporary swarm establishes itself inside a structure.
Want to keep the colony? We can help set up a hive on your property, navigate local rules, and offer ongoing care - even harvest your own honey when the season allows.
Small-batch South Florida honey, kept as close to the hive as possible and available by request.
Tell us where the bees are located. We will review the situation and help you choose a safe next step.
Thermal imaging mapping. We find the exact spot of the colony behind your wall before opening anything - smaller openings, faster work, calmer bees.
A kinder way
We never treat a living colony like a disposable problem. Our work starts with understanding the situation and ends with ongoing care.
Call or send details and photos. We assess the location, colony activity and accessibility before recommending the right approach.
The bees, comb and queen are carefully collected whenever conditions allow, with attention to both colony welfare and your property.
Rescued bees are moved to a managed apiary, placed in a clean hive and supported with inspection, feeding and treatment as needed.
Our story
Long before the first hive, our family was taking in dogs and cats that needed another chance. When we found an abandoned apiary in 2024, caring for those struggling colonies felt like a natural continuation of that story.
What began with a handful of weak, pest-affected hives has grown through patient care, research and many long days in the Florida heat. Today, ComBEEnation rescues bees, manages healthy apiaries and shares the honey they can safely spare.
“We take care of them the way we would care for any other animal. Their health and well-being come first.”

“The idea of this company is simple: produce honey while we save the bees.”

Buddy, one of our beloved rescue dogs, became the heart of Buddy Bees Honey and a reminder that every living thing deserves compassion. ComBEEnation is the house; Buddy Bees Honey is the label on the jar.
Buddy Bees Honey
Our small-batch honey comes from South Florida colonies we inspect and nurture throughout the year. Here the bloom is too mixed to promise a single flower - it is honest local wildflower honey. We harvest responsibly, leaving the bees what they need before taking anything for ourselves.
Where we work
From Broward and Miami-Dade to Palm Beach and surrounding communities, we help homeowners, businesses and organizations find a humane solution to bee colonies and swarms.

Good questions
Clear answers about live removal, what happens to the bees, and how our work differs from pest control.
Never. Not one, not with chemicals, not "just this once". If a colony can't be removed safely, we would rather turn the job down than harm the bees.
To our apiaries in Davie - certified beekeepers, apiaries inspected by the Florida Department of Agriculture (FDACS). There they're nursed back to strength and become part of our local honey production.
Spraying a colony leaves poisoned honey and dead brood rotting inside your wall - and the queen's pheromone keeps attracting new swarms to the same spot. Removal solves the problem; extermination hides it.
Honest answer: the scent left behind can attract scout bees. We remove the combs and honey, clean the area, and show you exactly which entry points to seal so a new swarm doesn't move in.
Almost! Our first commercial harvest is on the way. Text or email us to join the Buddy Bees Honey waitlist and you'll be first in line.
