Serving the Lancaster PA Area
We cover live honeybee removal across the city of Lancaster and the surrounding Lancaster County area from our base in Hummelstown — roughly 35 minutes northwest. Whether you're in downtown Lancaster, the older neighborhoods near Franklin & Marshall, or out in the townships, give us a call and we'll come take a look.
What We See in Lancaster
Lancaster has some of the oldest housing stock in the region — many homes date to the 1700s and 1800s, with traditional masonry and timber construction that honeybees love. Common removals include:
- Wall colonies in 18th- and 19th-century brick and frame homes downtown
- Chimney colonies in older homes with original masonry flues
- Stone-wall and stone-foundation colonies in farmhouses
- Soffit colonies in mid-century homes throughout the suburbs
- Barn and outbuilding colonies on the surrounding Lancaster County farms
Why Live Removal
Honeybees are protected pollinators, and a colony left poisoned inside a Lancaster home creates worse problems than the bees ever did — abandoned comb attracts ants and rodents, and untreated honey can leak through drywall for months. Live removal is the cleaner long-term fix, and the colony goes home with us to one of our apiaries in Central PA.
Pricing & Estimates
Standard removals start at $650, scaling based on access. Older Lancaster homes with stone walls or unusual construction may take longer to access — we'll discuss any added complexity during the free on-site estimate before any paid work begins.
