Our Services

Below is the services we provide and a price list along with our written guarantee. Most of our removals will never go above the base price. However, additional charges may be added to the base price for travel distances in excess of 100 miles and for any equipment rental (scaffolding, boom/scissor lifts) that may be needed for removals that are generally over 34 feet high.

Once we have given you a quote we will never show up and tell you there will be additional charges!

Honey Bee Removals

Honey Bee Removals consist of opening the cavity/void where the colony is located. Removing the bees (alive) and the hive (honey comb). Then we put back all the material that was removed to gain access to the hive. If sheetrock was cut we will apply the first coat of spackle. We do not paint. After the work is completed we guarantee that honey bees will not return to the place from where they were removed.

Base Price
$600.00

Bee Proofing

Bee proofing is a somewhat new concept that is gaining popularity across the country. Bee proofing is where we will "bee proof" you home, and issue you a letter guaranteeing that your home will be "bee proof" for 5 years. We do not recommend this to all of our customers. However, it is a useful service if your home has several honey bee colonies, or if you home is repeatedly being infested with honey bees.

Generally we will wave the bee removal fee of two honey bee colonies if you chose to bee proof your home. Bee proofing only applies to honey bees, hornets, and yellow jackets on the inside of your house.

Base Price (for 2,500 sqft home)
$1500.00

Our Guarantee

Owens Apiaries guarantees for one year (12 months) from the time we remove a honey bee colony that a new honey bee colony will not return to the exact location from where we removed the colony. Owens Apiaries reserves the right to withhold this guarantee if preventing bees from returning is impossible or impractical. If this situation should arise, Owens Apiaries shall inform the customer prior to beginning the removal, and the withholding of any guarantee shall be noted in writing on the invoice.
