Humane Bee Relocation Services
A Crucial Service for Bees and the Community
Beelina Sanctuary offers professional, ethical, and humane honeybee colony relocation.
We work to safely move established bee colonies from structures (like walls, roofs or sheds) to a safe, managed apiary where they can continue to thrive.
This service is a vital part of our mission to protect pollinators and educate the public on their importance.
Why Choose Humane Relocation?
Protect the Colony
Unlike extermination, we ensure the bees, brood, and queen are safely extracted and relocated to a new, thriving environment.
Prevent Re-infestation
We remove the entire hive and honey/wax comb, which stops new swarms from being attracted to the residual scent and moving in later.
Expert Care
Our team is trained in both structural removal and expert apiary management, ensuring the health of the colony through every step of the process.
Our Commitment to Colony Health
Relocating wild bees requires strict biosecurity.
Every rescued colony undergoes a mandatory quarantine period and is tested for pathogens before being introduced to our main apiary, ensuring the safety of all our sanctuary residents.
Your donation directly funds this essential testing and medication.
Investing in Ethical Rescue & Health
Humane bee relocation is a complex, labor-intensive process that ensures the colony's safety and protects the health of every bee at our sanctuary.
Your required donation covers the full scope of this ethical commitment.
Starting Investment
The minimum donation required to secure and schedule our relocation service is $450. This initial commitment confirms the booking and allows us to begin planning the specialized equipment and resources needed for a safe, ethical extraction.
The Full Scope
The final donation amount is carefully tailored to the specific job. This includes assessing factors like the depth of the extraction, the required structural access to the colony, the overall size of the hive, and necessary liability coverage. We provide a transparent, personalized quote before any work or commitment is made.
Biosecurity
This is the most critical part of your support. Your generous funds directly cover the vital quarantine protocols and rigorous testing for common diseases and parasites. This process includes any required medications to ensure the new colony is certified healthy before it joins our main apiary.
Important Structural Note:
While we take the utmost care during extraction, we are not responsible for structural repairs (e.g., patching drywall or siding) following the removal of the colony.
These repairs are the responsibility of the homeowner.
