West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County’s mix of historic residential neighborhoods, waterfront properties along the Intracoastal Waterway, and lush natural landscapes creates ideal bee habitat year-round. From the tree-lined streets of El Cid and Northwood to the commercial corridors along Okeechobee Boulevard and the newer construction of the SoSo district, bee infestations are a common reality for Palm Beach County homeowners and property managers. Bee Boyz Inc. has been providing licensed bee removal and relocation across West Palm Beach for over 30 years, led by FDACS-certified beekeeper Jorge Valencia. We work in full compliance with Palm Beach County Extension Services (UF/IFAS) guidelines and specialize in live removal of all species found in the region — including the Africanized honeybee (Apis mellifera scutellata), which is active throughout Palm Beach County.
Bee Hive in Wall
The historic homes of El Cid, Northwood, and Grandview Heights in West Palm Beach are among the most frequent wall-infestation calls we receive in Palm Beach County. Older construction means more entry points — gaps in stucco, deteriorated wood framing, and aging window and door seals that provide easy access for bee colonies seeking a protected cavity.
Once a honeybee colony establishes inside a wall, it can number in the thousands within weeks. When bees eventually abscond, the abandoned honeycomb melts in West Palm Beach’s heat, causing wax to seep into structural materials, honey to ferment, and bacteria to grow. Our team removes the colony, extracts the honeycomb, cleans the cavity, and repairs the wall — preventing future infestations. Don’t wait; the damage compounds quickly.
Bees in Soffit
Soffits are the most common nesting location we encounter across West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County. The soffit cavity provides bees with shade, protection from Florida rain, and direct access to the foraging area outside — ideal for both honeybees and wasps. In the older neighborhoods of Northwood and Grandview Heights, wood soffit boards can deteriorate over time, creating additional entry points that make infestations more likely.
If you see bees repeatedly entering your soffits, notice a darkening stain on the soffit board, or hear buzzing in your eave area, call Bee Boyz at 954-483-5533. We handle both the removal and soffit repair — one crew, one appointment.
Nests and Swarms on Vehicles
Waterfront properties along the Lake Worth Lagoon and the Intracoastal Waterway in West Palm Beach mean a significant number of our vehicle removal calls involve boats — both boats in active use and those stored in yards or marinas. Engines, cabin areas, and bilge spaces are all prime colony sites. Cars and trucks in driveways are more commonly the target of temporary bee swarms during peak activity months.
We offer same-day vehicle bee removal throughout West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County. Call 954-483-5533 for immediate assistance.
Bees in Meter Boxes
REPLACE BODY COPY UNDER THIS HEADING:
Utility boxes and water meter enclosures across Palm Beach County are frequently colonized by Africanized honeybees (Apis mellifera scutellata) and other ground-nesting species. These enclosed, protected spaces mimic the underground cavities where these bees naturally nest, making them a consistent target. Africanized bees at meter boxes present a particular hazard — their defensive behavior can be triggered by the sound and vibration of opening the box.
If you suspect bees in your water meter or electrical box, keep all people and pets away and call us immediately. Our FDACS-licensed team handles these situations safely every day.
Our Natural Bee Removal Process
Every bee removal in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County is led by or supervised by founder Jorge Valencia, whose FDACS certification and 30+ years of South Florida experience inform every job. We begin with species identification: European honeybee (Apis mellifera), Africanized honeybee (Apis mellifera scutellata), carpenter bee (Xylocopa), bumblebee (Bombus), yellowjacket, or wasp. The species determines our approach.
For honeybee colonies, we use wood smoke to calm the bees, remove them alive along with their honeycomb, and transport both to Palm Beach County-area beekeepers. We follow Palm Beach County Extension Services (UF/IFAS) guidance and FDACS protocols throughout. After removal, our licensed contractors seal all entry points and repair any structural damage. We only euthanize when a species poses a clear threat to native bee populations or public safety — and always in accordance with FDACS guidelines.
