Bee Hive Removal in Pompano Beach FL Commerical Building

70-Pound Beehive Removal in Pompano Beach, FL

Project Overview

We were called to a property in Pompano Beach after the client reported unusual bee activity in their parking lot, including incidents where bees were interacting aggressively with people. Upon arrival, our technician inspected the area and located a large colony nesting behind a concrete structure.

Accessing the hive required careful cutting into the concrete wall, where we discovered an estimated 70-pound hive—one of the largest we’ve encountered in the region. The colony had developed over time and was contributing to increasingly bold and defensive behavior in the area.

Challenges

The primary challenge in this project was the colony’s high level of aggression. Even with professional handling techniques and protective gear, the bees were quick to react and required careful control throughout the removal process.

This was further complicated by the hive’s location in a publicly accessible area, where continued bee presence posed a legitimate safety concern to employees and visitors

Our Approach

  • Conducted full site assessment and traced bee activity to a concealed structural space
  • Used cutting tools to access and fully expose the hive
  • Employed a portable hive box to remove comb material and recover the queen
  • Cleared out all hive structure and sanitized the area to reduce residual pheromones
  • Installed a temporary seal to prevent re-entry while the site awaits permanent repair
  • Provided the client with follow-up recommendations for sealing and long-term deterrents

Results

The hive was successfully removed, and the structure was secured the same day. Our technician was able to manage the hive’s behavior and complete the work without further incident. The client was left with a bee-free property and a clear plan for preventing future swarms from returning to the site.
