Honey Bee Removal In Iowa

Loves Wildlife Control receives many calls every year for problems related to swarming honey bees or honey bees needing to be removed from inside of buildings such as in attics, walls, soffits, chimneys, etc. Loves Wildlife Control does not handle bee problems BUT…. has recently found someone that DOES!!!!

Meet Todd McQueen of Pella, IA. Todd is a member of the Iowa Honey Producers Accociation and maintains a few hundred active hives in the area. He has been doing bee removal for at more than three years now and has handled most situations that bees could inhabit such as brick homes, silos, even removing bees from homes as young as 1 year old. Todd says bees especially love the small opening  above the soffits. Todd’s main work area in Iowa is south of I-80 across state but he will go anywhere if you are willing to pay the extra fee required for outside the area. His fees are subject to mileage and the access to the bees. His services remove the bees and hive only. He says that if the honey is not removed from the building more bees will move in and take over the hive. Todd has a bee vaccum for bee extraction then the crew many times must open up the wall to expose the hive for its removal. Todd and his crew do not repair the buildings after the hive has been removed. The customer must then hire their own carpenter to put the house or building back in order.
