Live honey bee removal, done properly. A swarm hanging in the open on a branch or a fence is usually a 45 minute job and I do not charge for those, so call before you spend money. This listing is for the other kind: an established colony living inside a wall, soffit, chimney or floor. That means opening the structure, cutting the comb out, saving the brood, vacuuming the bees into a box and removing every bit of wax and honey so the smell does not draw a new swarm next spring. A colony that has been in place two years can hold sixty pounds of comb. Leaving it in the wall is how you get honey running down your drywall in August. Half day minimum, billed hourly plus materials. I do not do the structural repair, but I work with two contractors who understand what they are closing back up and I will bring one in with me if you want a single quote. April through July is the season. Travel covered within about 60 kilometres of Asheville.
