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.

Strictly speaking, honeybees live in hives and wasps build paper nests, though most people use the words interchangeably. 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, that’s a big part of our work. Gaps around siding, trim, soffits and vents let yellowjackets build inside 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 Holgate. We remove yellowjacket, hornet and European paper wasp nests without 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.

Yes. Yellowjackets often nest underground in old rodent burrows, under brush piles and in 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.

In Northwest Ohio, queens that survived the winter start small nests in spring. Colonies grow all summer and peak in late summer and early fall, which is when most Holgate homeowners notice them. A hard frost usually finishes the colony, while new queens hide away until spring. 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 Henry 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. Swarms hanging in the open are removed at no charge by our sister company, The Mindful Beekeeper, through its Henry County swarm rescue service, and the bees go to an apiary instead of being destroyed.

They go to our sister company, The Mindful Beekeeper. Apiary #1 is at 12860 W TR 114 in Loudon Township, near Fostoria. Starting in 2027, colonies will also go to Apiary #3 in Bryan, OH, close to Holgate, and to Apiary #2 in Van Buren, OH. Every colony stops at an inspection station first, and only surplus honey is ever taken from strong hives.

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. Please don’t plug the entrance or spray it. Trapped bees and leftover comb cause bigger problems. 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 Henry 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.

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.
