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.

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, 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. There’s no residue left on decks, play sets or garden beds in Waterville. Text a photo to 419-614-6445 for a free virtual quote.

Yes. Yards across Waterville gives wasps lots of garages, sheds and play sets 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. Text a photo first so we can tell you what you’re dealing with.

Yes. Gaps around siding, trim, soffits and vents let yellowjackets build inside wall and ceiling voids. 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. If wasps keep flying in and out of one spot, stay back and call or text us.

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 Waterville come in. A hard frost ends most colonies, but mated queens overwinter to start again. Call early if you see one forming.

Those are likely yellowjackets. They often use old burrows, brush piles and overgrown corners. Look for wasps flying in and out of one 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.

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 #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 Lucas County swarm rescue service, and the bees go to an apiary.

Yes, with a careful 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. 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 removal is booked separately. 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.
