IMPORTANT NOTICE Currently, the state of Florida recommends that all wild (or feral) honey bee colonies found in proximity to people (in walls, birdhouses, trees, etc.) be eradicated by a certified Pest Control Operator. Just because a colony is calm now doesn't mean that it will always be. Killing of wild bees has nothing to do with the problem of disappearance of managed bee colonies. Eradicating one wild honey bee nest in Florida does nothing to hurt honey bee populations overall. Free Bee Removal... there is no such thing... dream on!
