Bee Removal in Seattle, Washington
Honeybee swarms captured and relocated, established colonies removed from structures, and wasp, hornet, and yellowjacket nests treated and cleared — by a crew that knows Pacific Northwest hives.
Seattle's specialist for bees, wasps & hornets
Queen B Bee Hive Removal Seattle handles the full range of stinging-insect situations that show up around Puget Sound homes and businesses. That starts with honeybee swarms resting in yards — a cluster of bees that has left an overcrowded hive and is looking for a new home. We capture those live and relocate them rather than spraying them.
When bees have already moved into a wall, roof, chimney, or attic, that's an established colony removal — a bigger job that means opening the structure, clearing the comb and honey, and sealing the entry point. For wasps and hornets, the approach is treatment followed by complete nest removal so the insects don't rebuild.
Every job starts with an assessment of the insect, the nest or colony size, its height and access, and the structure involved. From there we recommend the right method and explain the work before we start.

Learn moreHow a removal works
The same four steps carry across every service — what changes is the method and the time on site.
- 01
Assess
We identify the insect, locate the nest or colony, and judge size, height, and access.
- 02
Recommend
You get the right method — live capture, treatment, or structural removal — with the work explained first.
- 03
Remove
We capture or treat on site, then clear the nest, comb, and honey so it doesn't attract bees back.
- 04
Prevent
Entry points are sealed and the area cleaned so a new swarm can't simply move in.

Send your address and a short description of the swarm, nest, or colony — where it is, how high, and roughly how large. We'll confirm current availability and schedule the right removal for your Seattle property. Keep people and pets at a safe distance until we arrive.

Built around Seattle's bee season
In the Pacific Northwest, honeybee swarms peak from late spring into early summer as colonies outgrow their hives and split. A resting swarm is usually docile but won't stay put for long — it's looking for a cavity to move into, and a wall void or attic can look ideal. Catching it before it settles is the cleanest outcome.
Wasp and yellowjacket activity ramps up through summer and peaks in late summer and fall, when nests are largest and most defensive. Bald-faced hornets build their large paper nests in trees and under eaves through the same window. Timing matters: a small early-season nest is a quick job, while a mature late-season one is a bigger, more involved removal.
