Jacksonville Bee Rescue is a no-kill honey bee removal service working the Westside and the wider metro Jacksonville area in Duval County. The emphasis here is on getting a colony out alive and doing it without pesticides, which is exactly what a homeowner wants when a swarm or an established hive turns up somewhere it should not be. Rather than treating bees as pests to be sprayed, this is a live-relocation approach from start to finish.
One detail that sets this listing apart is transparency about credentials. The company publishes its Florida apiary license, #48018070, issued through the Florida Department of Agriculture. That registration is the state’s way of tracking beekeepers and their hives, and seeing it stated up front is a reasonable sign you are dealing with someone who takes the work seriously. On top of that, Jacksonville Bee Rescue is listed by the Jacksonville Beekeepers Association as licensed and insured for swarm and hive removal as well as cut-outs.
Because cut-outs are part of the service, this is a contact worth keeping in mind whether you have a loose swarm hanging in a tree or a colony that has worked its way into a wall or soffit. Cut-outs involve opening a structure to reach comb and brood, so they are more involved than collecting a bare swarm. Every beekeeper sets their own terms, so call ahead, describe where the bees are and how long they have been there, and let them scope the job before anyone commits.
