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, completely. We don’t spray poisons 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 Allen County need. Text a photo to 419-614-6445 for a free virtual quote.

Yes, we cover Spencerville and the rest of Allen County, and we work out of our nearby Bryan, OH Office. Our Wasp Hive Removal Service covers yellowjackets, hornets and European paper wasps. We also offer honeybee and bumblebee relocation, cicada killer relocation and opossum rescue. Text a photo to 419-614-6445 to get started.

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. If wasps keep flying in and out of one spot, stay back and call or text us.

Yes. The farmland around Spencerville gives wasps lots of barns, sheds and outbuildings to settle in. Yellowjacket, hornet and European paper wasp nests are removed with no pesticides. Native paper wasps are relocated, never destroyed, since they eat caterpillars and other pests. Snap a photo from a safe distance and text it to us.

Nests start in spring, when a single queen that survived the winter begins building. Colonies grow all summer and peak in late summer and early fall, which is when most Spencerville homeowners notice them. 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. 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. 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.

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.

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 Spencerville, 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.

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

It’s done with a planned wall 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 cavity is cleaned so new bees aren’t drawn back.

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.

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.
