Safe, humane, and professional bee removal in Georgia and the southeast.
Finding bees in your walls, roof, or yard can feel stressful. The good news? They don’t have to be a problem. We carefully remove and relocate colonies so your home is protected — and the bees get a new, safe place to thrive.
Dale Richter’s The Buzz Fuzz is a fully licensed and insured bee removal company with over 40 years experience. From the backyard playhouse to the Presidential Museum, we have removed honey bees from all types of structures and situations.
We start by scheduling a visit to assess the situation. Photos or videos can help us prepare, but seeing the colony in person ensures we know exactly what we’re dealing with.
We carefully removes the bees and their comb without relying on harmful pesticides. Whenever possible, colonies are relocated so they can continue to thrive in a safer place.
After removal, we clear out leftover honey and wax that can attract new swarms. We’ll also advise you on sealing and repairs to reduce the chance of another infestation.
Bees don’t need much space to build a colony. Over time, even small openings can lead to a large hive hidden inside your property. Some of the most common places we find them include:
Wherever they’ve settled, our job is to remove them safely and help prevent them from coming back.
At The Buzz Fuzz, bees are more than our business — they’ve been part of our lives since childhood. With decades of hands-on beekeeping and removal experience, we understand how to handle colonies safely, efficiently, and humanely.
Buzz Fuzz is headed by a Georgia Master Beekeeper Dale Richter, who is also licensed in pest and wildlife control. That combination of knowledge and certification allows us to approach every job with both expertise and care. Over the years, we’ve been trusted to remove bees from homes, apartment complexes, schools, businesses, national parks, and even government properties.
Whether the colony is in a backyard shed or a historic building, we bring the same focus: protecting your property while preserving the bees whenever possible.
Yes. Whenever possible, we do everything in our power to safely extract the queen and relocate the colony so they can continue pollinating in a safer environment.
Unfortunately, yes. In some cases, a colony simply can’t be relocated – usually if it’s diseased, heavily infested with mites (which can spread to other colonies), or if the queen has already left the nest. When that happens, our priority is to remove the bees safely and protect your property from further issues.
In some areas, yes. Give us a call and we’ll let you know if that service is available where you are.
We don’t usually handle repairs directly, but we’ll explain exactly what needs to be done and how best to prevent bees from returning. We can also make recommendations for independent handymen who can handle the repairs.
No. By state ordinance, homeowners cannot keep honey removed during a colony extraction. In addition, honey taken from inside walls or structures is almost always contaminated with dust, insect waste, insulation, pesticides, and other chemicals that make it unsafe to consume. For these reasons, all honey and comb are removed and disposed of responsibly.
