How much does honeybee removal cost in Savannah and Georgia?
Most residential removals cost $900 and most commercial removals cost $1,200. The price includes locating the colony, carefully opening the area, removing bees and comb, putting the area back together and extra materials such as insulation, caulk and drywall supplies. Drywall finishing excludes paint and texture. Lift rental is extra at the local rental cost. Trap-outs are individually assessed and priced by feasibility, nest height and location. Contact us to confirm your quote.
What does the one-year guarantee cover?
If honeybees return to the same spot on your house within one year, Honey Please comes back for free.
Where does Honey Please work?
We are based in Washington County and travel throughout Georgia, including Savannah, Statesboro, Swainsboro, Dublin, Vidalia, Augusta and Macon. Swarm removal covers 30 miles from Sandersville or Dublin. For swarms farther away, Karen may share the request with a local beekeeping club.
Can you rescue bees in colder months?
Yes. Special measures are taken when rehiving bees rescued in colder months to help them through to spring. Contact us so we can assess the conditions and plan the work.
What should I do about bees in my wall?
Keep people and pets away from the entrance. Do not seal the opening or spray the colony. Contact Honey Please and describe where the bees enter, when you first noticed them and the approximate height. Send a photo only if you can take it safely from a distance.
How do you remove bees and repair the area?
We locate the colony, carefully open the area, collect the bees and remove the comb. We put the area back together and seal openings. Drywall finishing is included without paint or texture. The rescued bees receive a new box and frames at our Washington County farm.
How long does removal take?
Most removals take 4–6 hours, although difficult access and established colonies may take longer. A trap-out can require several visits over 3–6 weeks and is assessed individually.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Honey Please is licensed and insured. Our Georgia license number is SP36267.
When can I call?
Call or text Karen Palmer at (912) 678-2144 from 8am to 8pm. Karen calls back promptly if you text or leave a message. Inspection and removal appointments depend on the job.
Do you remove wasps and hornets?
Our published service focuses on honeybee rescue. If you are unsure which insect you have, see our Honeybee ID page and contact us with a safe-distance photo to discuss whether we can help.
Is structural bee removal free?
No. Structural removal combines beekeeping and carpentry, specialist equipment, repairs and a new home for the colony. See the pricing above and request a quote for your property.
