Why East Harlem Has a Bees Problem
East Harlem's proximity to Central Park and the East River, combined with community gardens like La Finca del Sur and El Barrio's Artspace PS109, creates ideal conditions for bee activity during warmer months. The neighborhood's mix of older tenement buildings, public housing, and brownstones along Pleasant Avenue requires specialized knowledge for safe and effective bee removal without damaging historic architecture or disturbing residents.
Why Choose Us for Bee Removal in East Harlem
Bee removal prioritizes relocation over extermination wherever possible — honey bees and bumble bees are protected and ecologically important, and we work to remove them humanely. For accessible hives in trees, siding, or eaves, our technicians physically remove the comb, honey, and bees and coordinate relocation with local beekeepers. For hives inside wall voids, we use a combination of bee vacuuming and structural access to fully remove the colony and comb — leaving comb behind attracts new swarms and causes honey seepage and odor problems. Our 30-day guarantee covers re-treatment if a new swarm establishes in the treated area within a month of service.

Do you relocate bees or exterminate them?▾
Whenever possible, we prioritize humane bee relocation over extermination, working with local beekeepers to relocate healthy hives. However, in cases where the colony poses an immediate safety threat or relocation isn't feasible due to building structure or bee species, we use targeted removal methods that minimize environmental impact.

We coordinate with building management, notify neighboring units when necessary, and use techniques that contain the bees to prevent them from entering other apartments during the removal process.
