People use both words, but technically a hive is home to honeybees, while wasps build paper nests. Either way, our Wasp Hive Removal Service takes out yellowjacket, hornet and European paper wasp nests with no 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. Male cicada killers can’t sting, and females rarely do. We only remove the stinging insects that put people at risk, like yellowjackets, hornets and European paper wasps.

Yes. Convoy is part of our Van Wert County coverage, and our Bryan, OH Office is the closest base. Along with our Wasp Hive Removal Service for yellowjackets, hornets and European paper wasps, we relocate honeybees, bumblebees and cicada killers and help opossums in trouble. Call or text 419-614-6445 and send a picture of the nest.

Absolutely. Older siding, loose trim and open vents give yellowjackets easy access to wall and ceiling voids. We locate and extract the nest by hand instead of using poison, so there’s nothing left in the wall to attract pests. If wasps keep flying in and out of one spot, stay back and call or text us.

Yes. Barns, sheds and outbuildings are some of the most common nest sites we see in Convoy. We remove yellowjacket, hornet and European paper wasp nests without pesticides. Native paper wasps are relocated, never destroyed, since they eat caterpillars and other pests. Before you start a project near a nest, text us a photo so we can identify it.

Yes. Yellowjackets often nest underground in old rodent burrows, under brush piles and in overgrown corners. Look for wasps flying in and out of one 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.

In Northwest Ohio, queens that survived the winter start small nests in spring. By late summer and early fall the colonies are at their biggest and most defensive, so that’s when most calls from Convoy come in. A hard frost ends most colonies, but mated queens overwinter to start again. Small nests are easiest to remove, so call early.

Please don’t spray them. Keep kids and pets at a distance. 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 Northwest Ohio 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. Starting in 2027, colonies will also go to Apiary #3 in Bryan, OH, close to Convoy, and to Apiary #2 in Van Buren, OH. Each colony passes through an inspection station before joining an apiary, and only extra honey is harvested from strong hives.

Yes, with a careful cutout. Only the section of siding, drywall or ceiling over the comb is opened. The comb is cut out by hand and secured into frames, and the remaining bees are gently vacuumed into a hive box. See The Mindful Beekeeper’s wall cutout service. The opening is then left clean for repairs.

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.

Structural honeybee relocations are now booking for Spring 2027, so it pays to get on the list early. Wasp removal is booked separately. Some extractions happen at night when the weather is hot and humid. Bees hanging in the open are a swarm, which is handled differently. Text a photo to 419-614-6445.
