People use both words, but technically a hive is home to honeybees, while wasps build paper nests. Whatever you call it, our Wasp Hive Removal Service removes yellowjacket, hornet and European paper wasp nests without pesticides. Honeybee hives are never destroyed; a beekeeper relocates them alive. Our article on wasp hive removal vs. wasp nest removal explains more.

No. As a beekeeper-owned company, we relocate the insects that help us. Bumblebees and native paper wasps are always humanely relocated, and gentle cicada killers are moved away from walkways and play areas rather than poisoned. Males can’t sting at all, and females rarely do. We only remove the stinging insects that put people at risk, like yellowjackets, hornets and European paper wasps.

Yes. Arlington is part of our Hancock County coverage, and our Main Office in Loudon Township is the closest base. Our Wasp Hive Removal Service covers yellowjackets, hornets and European paper wasps. We also offer honeybee and bumblebee relocation, cicada killer relocation and opossum rescue. Call or text 419-614-6445 with a photo.

Yes. Yellowjackets in Arlington often slip through gaps in siding, trim and vents and build inside walls and ceilings. Rather than spraying into the wall, we locate the nest and remove it, so no dead nest is left behind to rot. Keep clear of the entrance and give us a call.

Yes. The farmland around Arlington gives wasps lots of barns, sheds and outbuildings to settle in. Yellowjacket, hornet and European paper wasp nests are removed with no pesticides. Native paper wasps are always relocated, because they help control garden and crop pests. Text a photo first so we can tell you what you’re dealing with.

Ground nests are usually yellowjackets using old burrows, brush piles or overgrown corners. The giveaway is steady traffic in and out of a single small hole. Don’t mow over it or try to flood it, which sets off the colony. We remove ground nests without pesticides. Text a photo from a safe distance to 419-614-6445.

Each spring, an overwintered queen starts a small nest on her own. By late summer and early fall the colonies are at their biggest and most defensive, so that’s when most calls from Arlington come in. A hard frost ends most colonies, but mated queens overwinter to start again. Small nests are easiest to remove, so call early.

No chemicals at all. We never spray poison at your home. Nests are physically removed, which is how beekeepers can offer this service without a pest control license. That means no residue on your porch, deck or garden, and nothing drifting onto the flowers pollinators in Hancock County need. Call or text 419-614-6445 for a free virtual quote.

Don’t spray it, and keep people and pets back. A swarm on a branch or fence is usually just resting while scouts look for a new home. Text a photo and your address to 419-614-6445. Our sister company, The Mindful Beekeeper, collects open-air swarms at no charge through its Hancock County swarm rescue service, and the bees go to an apiary.

Rescued colonies go to our sister company, The Mindful Beekeeper, whose Apiary #1 is at 12860 W TR 114 in Loudon Township. From 2027, they’ll also go to Apiary #2 in Van Buren, OH and Apiary #3 in Bryan, OH. Every colony stops at an inspection station first, and only surplus honey is ever taken from strong hives.

Yes, with a thermal camera. A honeybee colony keeps its nest at roughly 92–95°F, which shows up clearly against cooler wall framing. The Mindful Beekeeper offers thermal camera scans in Hancock County, so the comb can be located before anything is opened. That keeps any wall cut small and accurate, and the colony is moved out alive.

Usually not. Bees flying in and out of a gap mean a colony has moved in and is building comb inside. Our sister company, The Mindful Beekeeper, plans those structural removals one job at a time. Don’t seal the hole or spray, because that traps the bees and leaves comb to melt and rot. Text a photo to 419-614-6445.

Honeybee relocations from walls, ceilings, soffits and other structures are being booked for Spring 2027, so reserve a spot early. Wasp and yellowjacket removal is a separate service. In hot, humid Ohio weather, some extractions are done at night. Bees hanging in the open are a swarm, which is handled differently. Text a photo to 419-614-6445.
