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. 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, we cover Findlay and the rest of Hancock County, and we work out of our Main Office in Loudon Township.

Call or text 419-614-6445 with a photo.

Yes. Garages, sheds and decks are some of the most common nest sites we see in Findlay. 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.

Absolutely. Yellowjackets in Findlay often slip through gaps in siding, trim and vents and build inside walls and ceilings. We find the nest and physically take it out instead of spraying poison into the wall, so nothing is left to rot or draw new pests. See steady traffic at one spot?

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 Findlay come in. A hard frost ends most colonies, but mated queens overwinter to start again. Catching a nest while it’s small is easier for everyone.

Yes. In July 2025, a Findlay homeowner was stung several times while clearing a heavy brush pile. The culprit was a yellowjacket nest in a ground burrow under the brush. After the brush was cleared by hand, the nest was removed with vacuum extraction and no pesticides. If you’re clearing brush in Findlay, watch for wasps using one small hole, and text 419-614-6445 before you dig in.

No chemicals at all. We never spray poison at your home. 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 Hancock County need. Text a photo to 419-614-6445 for a free virtual quote.

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 #2 in Van Buren, OH and Apiary #3 in Bryan, OH. Each colony passes through an inspection station before joining an apiary, and only extra honey is harvested from strong hives.

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.

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.

Not quite. A swarm hangs out in the open, but bees going in and out of one spot have usually built comb inside the wall, ceiling or soffit. That’s a structural removal, handled by The Mindful Beekeeper after a careful look at the job. 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 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.
