Why You Have Bees

A few scouts can mean a hive nearby.

Entry points and shelter

Wall cavities, attics, and chimneys offer the warm, sheltered spots that bees love to move into.

A nearby hive

Bees in walls or roofs often mean a colony has established itself on or near your home.

A temporary swarm

When a colony splits, hundreds or thousands of bees cluster on a tree or wall while they look for a new home.

How RAYMAX Handles Bees

Safe for your family, and the bees.

01

Identify the species

Different bees need different handling. We confirm the species and locate the hive or entry points.

02

Assess the risk

We check for allergy risk, hive size, and location, then recommend safe removal or humane relocation.

03

Remove or relocate

Using the right tools and protective equipment, we resolve the infestation while minimizing harm.

04

Seal and prevent

We help identify the openings that let them in, so a new swarm doesn't move into the same spot.

Why Do I Have Bees?

Where they come from, and why DIY can be dangerous.

Understanding bees helps you act safely. Tap any topic to learn more.

Entry points and shelter+

Bees are drawn to warm, sheltered spaces. Wall cavities, attics, and chimneys all provide ideal shelter from the elements. If bees are entering consistently, look around outside for the large and small holes they might be using.

Try this: If you see nothing outside, put your hand or ear against the wall. You might hear or feel the vibration of the bees. If you can, check the roof for activity too.
A nearby hive or nest+

If there's a hive nearby, bees may enter your home by mistake or while searching for food and water. Bees in walls, attics, or roofs can mean a colony has set up on or near the structure. Common hive spots are trees, chimneys, roofs, sheds, bushes, and enclosed spaces.

Try this: If you see nothing inside, check outside for likely hive spots. A hive could even come from a neighbor's home, so let them know, especially for anyone with allergies.
A temporary swarm+

A swarm happens when a colony splits and a group of bees leaves with a new queen to find a new home. Hundreds or thousands can cluster together on trees, buildings, or structures. Swarms near homes or busy areas can cause concern and may need safe relocation by professionals.

Try this: Swarms are often temporary. If no one is allergic and they aren't a nuisance, give it 24 hours before calling. After that, they have likely decided to build a hive there.
Can I do it myself?+

Trying to handle a bee infestation yourself can be dangerous and ineffective. Bees are essential pollinators, and improper handling can harm them and cause aggressive swarming, leading to serious injuries or allergic reactions. Professionals can identify the species and use safe, humane removal or relocation methods, protecting both you and the bees.

Heads up: Calls about being stung 6 or more times trying to DIY bees are more common than you'd think. Save yourself the pain and call a RAYMAX professional.
When to call a professional+

Call as soon as you notice an infestation. A professional can identify the bees and choose the best course of action, and with the right tools and protective equipment they minimize the risk of stings and allergic reactions. If the hive is especially large, act ASAP. Because of allergy risk, handling bees quickly is always your safest move.

Dealing with a swarm? Wait 24 to 48 hours to see if they leave on their own. If they stay, contact a RAYMAX Bee Specialist right away.
Common Questions

Answers before you even ask.

Do you kill the bees or relocate them?+
Whenever possible we focus on safe, humane handling. Bees are essential pollinators, so we identify the species and choose the most responsible removal or relocation method for your situation.
Is it safe if someone in my home is allergic?+
Yes, and it's exactly why you should not attempt it yourself. We come with the right tools and protective equipment to minimize the risk of stings and allergic reactions. If anyone is allergic, treat it as urgent and call us right away.
There's a swarm in my yard, what do I do?+
Swarms are often temporary. If no one is allergic and they aren't a nuisance, give it 24 to 48 hours to see if they move on. If they stay, they've likely decided to build a hive there, so call us before it becomes established.
How fast can you come out?+
For active hives and swarms we move quickly, often the same day, since allergy risk makes time matter. Call us and we'll find the soonest slot that works.
