Is it legal to kill bees?
Yes, only if the swarms/colonies are wild (not in managed boxes) and are on your property. The Florida Department of Agriculture (FDACS) recommends that wild colonies be exterminated by bee removal companies licensed in pest control to help prevent the spread of the Africanized honeybee. We do not recommend that you do your own bee removal due to the danger and complexity of the process. We have been doing bee removal for a long time and have learned valuable lessons in providing service safely and efficiently.
Who can eradicate bees?
Knowledgeable bee removal companies who are licensed in pest control by the Florida Department of Agriculture (FDACS). Licensed pest control companies are required by Law to have Commercial Liability Insurance and Workers Compensation in the event they damage your property or get hurt while on your property.

Are Bee Swarms dangerous?
Bee swarms are generally not dangerous but you should never attempt to eradicate or remove the swarm yourself. Usually, they are simply looking for a new home or resting before the scouts move on to find a more suitable place. If you notice a swarm of bees on your property, contact Alpine Farms Bee Removal today for help!
How much does bee removal cost?
Bee removal costs vary depending on location, size, and age of the bee colony. We always do an in depth inspection and explain the bee removal problem to you while providing a solution. We then give you an agreeable total cost prior to beginning service. No “windows” of cost that obligate you the customer to the highest cost of that “window”. We offer valuable service at a cost that works for you.
