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. 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. 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.

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

We do. Wasps around Marblehead love the shelter of docks, boathouses and sheds. 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. Text a photo first so we can tell you what you’re dealing with.

Absolutely. 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. Keep clear of the entrance and give us a call.

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 Marblehead come in. A hard frost ends most colonies, but mated queens overwinter to start again. Small nests are easiest to remove, so call early.

Late in the summer, yellowjackets go after sweet drinks and food, so outdoor tables by the water attract them. Paper wasps also build under dock boards, boat lifts and cottage eaves. We remove dangerous nests without pesticides, which matters near the lake. Text a photo to 419-614-6445.

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 Ottawa County need. Text a photo to 419-614-6445 for a free virtual quote.

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 Ottawa County swarm rescue service, and the bees go to an apiary instead of being destroyed.

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. Every colony stops at an inspection station first, and only surplus honey is ever taken from strong hives.

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. Please don’t plug the entrance or spray it. Trapped bees and leftover comb cause bigger problems. Text a photo to 419-614-6445.

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 Ottawa 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. 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.
