Bumblebee Removal in West Chester, PA

Mowing your grass or weeding a flowerbed shouldn't end in a trip to the urgent care clinic. If you run into an aggressive ground colony, our service for bumblebee removal in West Chester, PA gives you a clean way to clear the hazard. Our main shop is located in Gilbertsville, and we travel south along Route 100 through Exton to handle extraction jobs throughout Chester County. We never poison these helpful native insects. Instead, we remove the brood structure, catch the workers alive, and transport the whole colony to our registered rural apiary.

West Chester properties often feature sod lawns, thick landscaping mulch, and stone retaining walls that provide ideal nesting sites for bumblebee queens in the spring. Because bumblebees nest right at the surface or inside old chipmunk burrows, vibrations from a lawnmower or weed trimmer trigger an immediate defensive swarm. Unlike honeybees, individual bumblebees can sting multiple times without dying. If you have honeybees or wild swarms inside exterior walls instead of the ground, check our bee relocation service in West Chester for full cut-out and carpentry solutions.

Wild bees are important for local flora, as documented on Wikipedia's bumblebee overview, but a thriving nest right next to your patio makes outdoor living stressful. Co-owners Ty Kelius and Alyssa Kelius use specialized vacuum equipment and protective gear to remove the entire nest safely. Once we lift the nest out, we relocate the colony to our rural apiaries, which are managed under Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture standards. You can read more about our background and extraction options on our bumblebee removal in Gilbertsville page.

We provide paid on-site estimates so you know exactly what the job entails before we begin. We inspect the nest site, determine how deeply the brood extends into your ground or walls, and outline the extraction plan so you get your yard back safely.
