Bee Safe Bee Removal | Second Floor Siding Hive Removal and Repair

Service Details

Late summer calls like this usually mean the colony has had time to build out a full structure, and that is what I found here. The bees were entering through a narrow gap along the siding just below the attic line on the second floor. Activity was steady at the seam, which made the access point easy to confirm from the outside. After setting the ladder and opening the siding carefully, I reached the cavity behind the exterior planks and exposed the hive. There were seven full combs attached inside the wall space, running along the framing behind the siding. The combs were removed one by one and placed into transport boxes while the remaining bees were collected with the bee vacuum. Most of the structure was clean and intact, typical for a hive that had been building through the warm months. Once the comb and bees were out, the interior cavity was cleared and treated with pheromone blocker to reduce the chance of future colonies returning to the same space. The repair work took more time than the removal. The siding boards in that section had become brittle with age, so they had to be handled slowly to avoid splitting further. After the hive area was closed back up, the exterior boards were secured and sealed. Structurally the repair came together well, and once the area receives a coat of paint it should blend back in with the rest of the siding.
