“Hawx’s Bee Services depend on the type of bee and the degree to which they’re a threat.
- In the case of Honeybees, our position is that unless there is an immediate threat to human health or property, bees need to be protected at all costs.
- Bumblebees are ground-nesting pollinators, so they usually don’t disrupt people’s homes. We often don’t need to treat for bumblebees.
- Wood-damaging bees burrow into structural lumber in order to lay eggs there and can cause damage.
Your Hawx team will help you identify the bee problem and a solution that protects the pollinators as well as your household.”

How Hawx Bee Removal Works:
- Expert Identification & Inspection
Your technician begins each bee pest control service with a thorough inspection, pinpointing the species (i.e., honey, bumble, or carpenter) and mapping nest sites or entry holes to guide the safest solution. - Pollinator‑Friendly Plan & Hive Relocation
When honey or bumble bees are present, we coordinate humane bee hive removal with a trusted local beekeeper—preserving vital pollinators while protecting people and property. - Targeted Carpenter‑Bee Treatment
For wood‑boring carpenter bees, our three‑step bee removal process treats each tunnel with aerosol, follows with dust for emerging adults, then seals holes with paintable caulk to stop future damage. - Final Check & Prevention Guidance
We reinspect treated areas, repair or seal vulnerable spots, and share maintenance tips so you can confidently get rid of bees—and keep them away—all without harming beneficial species.
Please note that services like Carpenter Bee removal are available as specialized add-ons to your existing General Pest Control (GPC) plan. By choosing these add-ons, you receive targeted treatments for bees while benefiting from our GPC plan’s comprehensive coverage for common insects.

FAQs
Where do bees live?
Bees thrive on every continent except Antarctica and nest in diverse spots—from underground burrows to tree cavities and building eaves. North America alone hosts 4,000‑plus species, ranging from sweat, bumble, and long‑horned to miner and carpenter bees.
What do honey bees eat?
Honey bees feed on flower nectar and pollen, turning nectar into energy‑rich honey for the colony. Their foraging also transfers pollen between plants, making bees vital to roughly 80 percent of global crops!
Are carpenter bees bad?
While they rarely sting, carpenter bees can weaken decks, eaves, and other wooden structures. Timely bee removal and sealing of tunnels prevent recurring damage and maintain your home’s structural integrity.
What is the lifespan of a bee?
A queen honey bee can live one to two years, continually laying eggs. Worker bees last about a month in summer but may survive up to six months through winter.
Why do some bees make honey?
Honey serves as a high‑calorie food for the colder months. By converting surplus nectar into honey (and storing it), the colony has an instant food supply when flowers are hard to find.
How are honey bees different from bumblebees and carpenter bees?
Honey bees build large, perennial hives and produce honey; bumblebees create smaller, seasonal ground nests and are excellent pollinators; carpenter bees are mostly solitary, tunneling into wood to lay eggs and hatch their young—and damaging your property in the process.
Why do you relocate hives instead of eliminating them?
Healthy colonies are crucial pollinators, so we partner with local beekeepers for humane bee hive removal. Relocation protects both people and bees, preserving ecosystem balance without the need to get rid of bees entirely.
