How you can tell which of the removal services you need? Here's how...
You have avery high probability that it is a swarm of Honey Bees and most likely need us to come Capture them if:
A) You heard a loud buzzing and noticed a large cloud of bees flying overhead.
B) They eventually landed on something (ie: a branch) and are now in a hanging cluster of Honey Bees.
C) You can now see bees leaving and returning from the hanging cluster of bees and they are just generally zooming all around the area now.
You have an established colony and most likely need us to perform a Cutout if:
A) You've noticed that bees are flying into and out of a small hole or other opening and entering/leaving a cavity in the wall, eves, etc of your house or other structure (the colony could even be inside anything from a 55-gallon drum to an old ShopVac left sitting outside, or a hollow tree).
B) Or... You've spotted a free-hanging hive (not in an enclosed cavity) complete with honeycomb and Honey Bees crawling all over the white honeycomb.
