Apollo Beach Bee Removal in Koi Pond

Today, we were called out to remove a honey bee colony from the surround of a Koi pond.

With such expensive and sensitive fish, it's critical that we not introduce toxins or even allow bees to land in the water, as the koi can sustain fatal encounters from the proteins found in honey bee venom

Removing Bees from a pond surround

It's likely that these are Africanized Honey Bees, otherwise known as "Killer Bees", so that always adds another risk to the removal process. These bees can threaten neighbors and pets hundreds or thousands of feet away.

Vacuuming live bees from the comb

We used a vacuum to remove the live bees and then cutout all the comb, leaving a clean void that will be sealed to prevent a reinfestation.
