NaplesBees Apiary is run by an owner licensed by the State of Florida for live bee removal, with hundreds of removals already under their belt across Collier County. Serving Naples, Marco Island, Bonita Springs, and Golden Gate, this is a genuine apiary-based operation focused on getting bees out alive rather than exterminating them, which is exactly what a homeowner who cares about pollinators wants to hear.
Experience shows in the range of spots they’ve tackled. Colonies have been removed from all the places bees tend to favor, including:
- Trees and houses
- Roofs and sheds
- Water meters
One detail that speaks to the care taken here is the use of a custom bee vacuum designed to improve queen capture during removals. Getting the queen is the key to a successful relocation, because without her the colony won’t hold together in its new home, so a tool built to protect her is a meaningful advantage.
It’s worth setting expectations honestly: not every removal can be done, depending on how accessible the hive is or whether there’s apiary space available at the time. That candor is a good sign, since it means you’ll get a realistic answer rather than an overpromise. Contact is handled through the website form, as no public phone or email is listed. When you write, describe the location and access clearly, and remember that each beekeeper sets their own terms.
