Swarm season is just around the corner. Typically honey bee hives swarm in May but you may see swarms as early as April depending on the weather. Don't be scared. the bees are just looking for a new home and will usually move on within 24 hours. Swarms are very docile. Call us if you would like a beekeeper to come and remove the hive and relocate it to a safe location.

Honey Bee & Native Bee Services

Serving Boulder County and Surrounding Areas

Did you know honey bees account for 80% of all insect pollination? Honey bees are very important to our environment, but can also cause problems if they are present at your home or business. We focus on rescuing the hive and preserving the bees while ridding your area of the swarm.
A single hive can have up to 80,000 bees and is frequently (though not always) located in a hollow tree. Bees & Trees offers a variety of honey bee services:
  • Remove and relocate honey bee hives from homes
  • Remove and relocate honey bee hives from downed trees or trees that need to be removed
  • Pick up swarms – we're listed on the swarm hotline list for Boulder County

  • Provide education, mentorship, equipment and bees for new beekeepers.
  • Sell local, fresh honey!
