6:00 AM – Rise and Shine
The morning starts early in the bee removal business, as most of our calls require us to beat the heat. After gearing up with my protective equipment and loading the truck with our specialized vacuum systems and containment tools, I head to our first appointment.
7:30 AM – First Call of the Day
Today’s initial inspection reveals a substantial honeycomb formation inside a residential wall cavity. These situations require delicate handling – we’re not just removing unwanted insects; we’re protecting essential pollinators while ensuring homeowner safety.
Key Tasks During Removal:
- Thermal imaging inspection to locate the exact hive position
- Careful wall opening with minimal damage
- Honeycomb extraction and preservation
- Queen bee location and safe capture
- Colony relocation to approved apiaries
2:00 PM – Education and Prevention
Between calls, I spend time educating homeowners about bee behavior and prevention methods. Many are surprised to learn that sealing entry points and maintaining structures can prevent future colonies from establishing themselves.
4:30 PM – Final Inspection
The day typically ends with quality control checks on recent removal sites. Bee Busters takes pride in ensuring complete resolution of bee-related issues while maintaining the highest standards of conservation.
5:30 PM – Wrapping Up
Before heading home, I clean and maintain equipment, update client records, and prepare for tomorrow’s assignments. Every day brings unique challenges, but the satisfaction of protecting both people and pollinators makes it all worthwhile.
Remember, in our line of work, patience isn’t just a virtue – it’s a necessity. Working with nature requires respect, understanding, and precision, something we strive to deliver with every service call.
