We're Right Here in Hummelstown
Been's Bees is based on Douglas Road in Hummelstown — the same town you're calling from. That means the fastest response times in our service area, intimate familiarity with the older stone-and-frame homes around 17036, and a short drive home for the bees we collect.
We've handled removals throughout Hummelstown borough, the Lower Dauphin school district area, along Hershey Road, and out into the surrounding farmland. If you've found bees in a wall, soffit, chimney, or tree on your Hummelstown property, we can usually be there same day for an estimate.
Common Hummelstown Removals
Hummelstown's mix of older homes and mature trees means we see a lot of:
- Wall colonies in older homes near downtown — typically accessed through soffit or trim
- Tree colonies in established neighborhoods with mature oaks and maples
- Soffit and roofline colonies on ranch and split-level homes from the 60s/70s/80s
- Spring swarms — peak season runs late April through June (free swarm collection)
Pricing & Process
Removals in Hummelstown follow our standard pricing — $650 for accessible work, scaling up for ladders, scaffolding, or bucket lifts. We provide a free on-site estimate before any paid work begins, so you'll know the price before we start.

Where the Bees Go
Every colony we collect in Hummelstown comes home to one of our local apiaries — usually within a few miles of where we picked them up. They get a new hive, time to settle in, and continue pollinating the same neighborhoods they came from. The honey you see at our self-serve stand on Douglas Road is made by these bees.
