Never. We’re beekeeper-owned, so helpful insects get relocated. 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.

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.

Yes. Nothing is sprayed. We physically remove each nest, which lets a beekeeper do this work without a pest control license. That means no residue on your porch, deck or garden, and nothing drifting onto the flowers pollinators in Crawford County need. Call or text 419-614-6445 for a free virtual quote.

We do. Crestline is on our regular route, and our Main Office in Loudon Township is the closest base.

Yes. Older siding, loose trim and open vents give yellowjackets easy access to wall and ceiling voids. Rather than spraying into the wall, we locate the nest and remove it, so no dead nest is left behind to rot. See steady traffic at one spot? Keep your distance and text 419-614-6445.

We do. Wasps around Crestline love the shelter of garages, sheds and decks. 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.

Nests start in spring, when a single queen that survived the winter begins building. By late summer and early fall the colonies are at their biggest and most defensive, so that’s when most calls from Crestline come in. A hard frost usually finishes the colony, while new queens hide away until spring. Call early if you see one forming.

Those are likely yellowjackets. They often use old burrows, brush piles and overgrown corners. The giveaway is steady traffic in and out of a single small hole. Mowing over it or pouring something in can set off the whole colony. We remove ground nests without pesticides. Text a photo from a safe distance to 419-614-6445.

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.

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. Swarms hanging in the open are removed at no charge by our sister company, The Mindful Beekeeper, through its Northwest Ohio swarm rescue service, and the bees go to an apiary instead of being destroyed.

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.

A thermal camera helps a lot. 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 Crawford County, so the comb can be located before anything is opened. That means a smaller, more accurate cut, and the bees leave alive.

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. 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.
