Fort Lauderdale’s warm, humid climate makes Broward County one of Florida’s most active bee habitats — and bee infestations happen year-round, not just in spring. From the historic homes of Victoria Park to the waterfront properties along Las Olas Boulevard and the urban neighborhoods of Flagler Village, Bee Boyz Inc. has been removing and relocating bees across Fort Lauderdale for over 30 years. Our founder, licensed beekeeper Jorge Valencia, holds full certification from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) and our methods follow UF/IFAS Extension best practices for safe, humane live removal of all bee species — including the Africanized honeybee (Apis mellifera scutellata), which is well established throughout Broward County. When you call Bee Boyz, you’re calling a South Florida local with three decades of hands-on experience.
Bee Hive in Wall
Bees frequently nest inside the walls of Fort Lauderdale homes and businesses, finding their way in through small gaps in siding, openings for electrical wiring, and loose boards along the roofline. Once inside a wall, a honeybee colony can grow to tens of thousands — and the buzzing is often loud enough to hear as you walk past.
When a colony absconds (leaves the hive), the unprotected honeycomb becomes vulnerable to Fort Lauderdale’s heat and humidity. The wax melts into boards, the honey ferments and stains, and bacteria can take hold — causing damage that far exceeds the cost of early removal. If you hear buzzing inside a wall or notice bees clustering around a specific exterior point on your Victoria Park or Coral Ridge home, call us right away. The sooner we get there, the less damage you face.
Bees in Soffit
Soffits — the underside of your roof overhangs — are among the most common nesting sites we encounter in Fort Lauderdale. They offer bees the combination they need: shade, protection from wind and rain, and open access to outside foraging. We respond to soffit infestations across every neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale, from the older homes of Tarpon River to the newer construction near Flagler Village.
If you notice bees or wasps repeatedly flying in and out of your soffits, or a cluster of bees forming on the soffit surface (called a ‘bee ball’), monitor from a safe distance and call us before the colony gets established. Our licensed contractors handle both the bee removal and the soffit repair — you won’t need two separate companies.
Bees in or on Vehicles
Boaters along Fort Lauderdale’s Intracoastal Waterway and residents across Broward County regularly deal with bees swarming or nesting in vehicles. Boats that sit in their slips for extended periods are particularly susceptible to full colonies forming in enclosed spaces. Cars are more commonly the target of temporary swarms — bees traveling in a group may choose to rest on your vehicle for several hours.
We offer same-day vehicle bee removal in Fort Lauderdale. Whether you’re at home, at the marina, or in a commercial parking lot, call 954-483-5533 and we’ll get to you fast.
Bees in Meter Boxes
Water meter boxes and electrical boxes are some of the most overlooked bee nesting spots in Fort Lauderdale. The enclosed, protected cavity is ideal for colonies — particularly Africanized honeybees (Apis mellifera scutellata), which are known to nest in ground-level spaces throughout Broward County. Never attempt to open a meter box if you suspect a colony inside. The risk of triggering an aggressive response is significant.
Our team locates and safely removes bee colonies from all types of utility boxes and outdoor enclosures. We seal the cavity after removal to prevent re-infestation.
Our Natural Bee Removal Process
Under the guidance of FDACS-licensed beekeeper Jorge Valencia, every Bee Boyz removal follows a consistent, humane process. First, we identify the species — whether it’s a European honeybee (Apis mellifera), Africanized honeybee, carpenter bee (Xylocopa), yellowjacket, or mud dauber — because species determines approach.
For honeybees, we use wood smoke to calm the colony, then carefully remove the bees and their honeycomb intact. We place both in a transport container and bring them to a local South Florida beekeeper, where they can continue pollinating without damaging your property. We only euthanize when a species poses a documented threat to native bee populations or becomes too aggressive to relocate safely — a decision we make in compliance with FDACS guidelines and UF/IFAS Extension protocols.
After removal, our licensed contractors repair and seal every access point, restore any structural damage, and inspect the surrounding area for additional risk. One call, start to finish.
