24/7 Emergency Bee Removal in Palm Beach County
Aggressive bees or active stinging? Our 24/7 emergency line dispatches licensed technicians across Palm Beach County with a 24-hour response guarantee.
Some bee problems can wait for a scheduled appointment. Active stinging, a defensive colony at a doorway, bees around a school, a restaurant patio or a horse barn cannot. Our emergency line is answered 24 hours a day and we guarantee a response within 24 hours, with priority dispatch for anything actively stinging.
What Emergency Bee Removal Includes
- 24/7 emergency call line
- 24-hour response guarantee, priority same-day dispatch
- Experienced with defensive and Africanized colonies
- Schools, businesses, HOAs and families first
How We Do It, Step by Step
- Call and get instructions. The first thing we do is keep people safe. We tell you how far to move everyone back, what to close, and what not to do while we are on the way.
- Priority dispatch. Active stinging incidents jump the queue. We bring protective equipment sized for the situation and containment gear for the surrounding area.
- Secure the area. We establish a working perimeter so pets, kids, staff and passers-by stay clear while the colony is worked.
- Remove the colony. Bees are removed alive and contained. Even defensive colonies are extracted rather than sprayed into your structure.
- Make it permanent. Comb comes out, the cavity is treated, the entry is sealed. An emergency call should not become a monthly call.
What Drives the Price
Bee removal pricing covers a wide spectrum, because the cost depends almost entirely on where the hive is and how hard it is to safely reach. Easy, ground-level jobs, like a small hive inside an in-ground water meter box, sit at the low end, often around $300-$400. Difficult jobs, hives in a second-story roof, at the top of a high-rise, or sealed inside a concrete wall, can run well into the thousands, especially when professional removal plus repairs are involved. You always get an upfront, no-obligation quote after we assess your specific situation.
For this service specifically, the biggest cost factors are:
- Time of day, since after-hours and overnight dispatch carries a premium
- How defensive the colony is and what protective and containment gear is required
- Height and access, especially on second stories and commercial buildings
- Colony size and comb volume once opened
- Whether the surrounding area needs containment for people or animals
See real numbers and examples on the bee removal cost page.
What Happens After the Bees Are Gone
Removal is only finished when the structure is closed. We clean and treat the cavity so residual pheromone stops advertising the space to the next scout, seal and screen the entry point, and coordinate the repair through licensed contractors, roofers and painters. If comb or honey soaked insulation or drywall, that material is replaced rather than covered up. See honeycomb removal and repair and bee proofing for how we keep it from happening twice.
Africanized Bees and When It Is an Emergency
Palm Beach County has established Africanized honey bee populations, so a defensive colony is a real possibility on any job. If bees are actively stinging, if they react to mowers, vibration or foot traffic near the nest, or if the colony is near children, pets, livestock, customers or a school, treat it as an emergency: keep everyone well back and call 561-371-1722. See our emergency bee removal page and the Africanized bee safety guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Move everyone at least 15 to 20 feet back and further if bees are actively defensive. Get pets inside. Close nearby windows and doors. Do not swat, do not spray, and do not seal the entrance, because trapped bees push deeper into the structure and into living space.
Seek medical attention immediately for multiple stings, any breathing difficulty, swelling beyond the sting site, or any known allergy. Call 911 first, then call us to handle the colony.
