Some strange places bees nest in Las Vegas include a BBQ grill, a tire, and a giant skull. This makes our work very interesting, and we love that the list keeps getting longer. We are beekeepers first, and we relocate colonies for a living, which means we spend our days dealing with lots of bees and beehives. A colony in a tree is the common call for us. A beehive in a barbecue grill is another story. Bee Nests and Swarms are not the Same Thing Before the photos, one distinct

Every day someone calls us and says, “There are bees in my yard, what do I do?” Most of the time the honest answer is that they do not need us. We are beekeepers before we are anything else, so we are happy to explain what they are looking at, and a lot of these calls end with the caller saying “oh, that’s all it is?” and hanging up relieved. We would rather you hear that from us than lie awake wondering. Here are the ones we hear most, with what we tell people. A Cluster of

Bee removals in Boulder City often involve large, established colonies. I frequently receive calls from homeowners who notice bees coming and going from a wall or a small gap in a shed. Many people hope the situation resolves itself, but it rarely does. Bees that have chosen your home as their residence are not just passing through. They are here to stay, and they won't reconsider their choice. At Vegas Bees, we specialize in live removal and relocation. Our experience comes

Fake Bee Rescues By Las Vegas Exterminators We get a version of the same phone call a few times a month. Someone found bees in their wall, roof, or valve box. They called a company that promised "humane bee removal," a truck showed up, someone in a suit sprayed something into the void, and the homeowner was told the bees were relocated somewhere safe. Then, weeks later, they call us because the smell coming through their wall has gotten unbearable, or a second colony has move

Bees in your dog’s water bowl are there because they need water, especially during the hot Las Vegas summer. Like everything on our planet, they need water too. Honey bees collect water and carry it back to the colony, where it can be used to help cool the hive and support other colony needs. When temperatures climb and natural water sources dry up, a dog bowl becomes a dependable puddle that refills itself, which in this climate is worth more to a bee than most people realiz

Are Bees Gathering Around Your Outdoor Irrigation? Here’s What’s Going On. If you step outside and see bees hovering around your sprinkler heads or crawling along drip lines, it definitely can feel strange and worrisome. We get these calls all the time in Las Vegas, especially in peak summer. The reality is simple. This is one of the most common and least understood bee behaviors in the desert. The good news is that it’s usually not an emergency. The better news is that once

In our line of work, we see something homeowners rarely expect. People call us thinking they've just developed a bee problem, but when we open things up, the truth is almost always the same: that colony didn't just arrive last week. Homeowners are shocked to find out that It's been there, quietly building and growing, sometimes for months, sometimes for years. By the time we get there, the home has already been functioning as a hidden hive, and unlike most tenants, this one n

Why Bees and Wasps Show Up at Your House (And What Actually Draws Them In). Every spring we start getting the same call. Someone noticed a few bees hanging around the eaves, figured it would pass, and now there's a colony the size of a basketball behind their siding. It never passes. Bees don't scout a location and change their minds. We've never once shown up to find they talked themselves out of it. The good news is that bees aren't showing up at your house by accident. The

Fake Wasp Nests Don't Work, especially in Las Vegas. We get asked constantly whether hanging a fake wasp nest on the patio will keep the real ones away. The honest answer is that they don't work with our paper wasps here in Las Vegas. We should know, we remove bees and wasps. The brown paper ball hanging from a hardware store rack looks convincing, the packaging promises no more wasps, and the price is a lot lower than a service call. However, we have removed wasps from count

Bees in Your Water Meter Box? Here's What We Do. A few weeks ago a parks maintenance worker had noticed bees all over the top of a water meter box at Durango Hills Park. They called us before anyone got close enough to find out how the colony felt about visitors. We see this constantly around Las Vegas, and honestly it makes sense once you think about what a water meter box actually is from a bee's point of view. It's a dark, enclosed cavity set into the ground, insulated on

There is a moment of pure, unfiltered awe when a swarm of bees arrives at your home. It begins as a distant "zzzzz" sound, and then a vibration in the air that you feel in your chest before you even see them. Then, thousands of tiny wings cloud the sky, swirling in a mesmerizing cloud before settling onto a tree branch, a porch overhang, or the side of your house. In less than 5 minutes, it is over, and quiet again. Once the initial shock wears off, a deeper question almost a
