Beekeeping in New Mexico
If honey bees establish a hive in your home's walls, roof, or other structures, prompt professional removal protects your property while safely relocating the colony and preserving New Mexico's valuable pollinators.
Hive Cutouts and Relocations
Identification & Estimate
Every successful bee relocation begins with a thorough inspection. We identify whether the insects are honey bees, assess the hive's location and accessibility, estimate the colony's size, and determine the safest removal method. After the inspection, you'll receive a detailed estimate outlining the scope of work, expected timeline, and any necessary repairs or site considerations.
Cutout & Transfer
Once approved, we carefully remove the colony using humane beekeeping practices. This process includes opening the affected area when necessary, removing the comb, brood, honey, and bees, and transferring them into a properly prepared hive. We also clean the cavity of wax and remaining hive material to help discourage future swarms from returning.
Hive Relocation
After the colony has been successfully transferred, the hive is relocated to a managed apiary where it can continue to thrive. The bees are monitored to ensure the queen is accepted, the colony is reestablished, and the hive remains healthy. By relocating rather than exterminating, we preserve valuable pollinators while providing a safe, long-term solution for your property.
