Free swarm collection & live bee removal in Mechanicsburg, PA

Mechanicsburg is South Mountain foothills, with a mix of established neighborhoods, newer construction off Trindle Road, and rural-edge properties bordering woodlots. The typical bee-related calls we get from the area:

• Honey bee swarms from late April through June, peaking in May — clusters often on residential maples and ornamental trees
• Established honey bee colonies in older Mechanicsburg soffits, chimneys, and wall voids
• Bumble bee nests in lawns, mulch piles, and under sheds — common from May through July
• Yellow jacket and bald-faced hornet identification calls in late summer (handled by our sister LPP)
• Carpenter bee damage on cedar fascia (sister LPP handles)

Not sure what you're seeing? Send a photo to 717-379-3248 — we identify honey bees vs. bumble bees vs. wasps vs. hornets for free, then route the call to whichever side of the family handles it.

Honey bees are pollinators worth protecting, so a colony we remove doesn't get killed — it gets relocated. We use bee vacuums that collect the bees alive, save and reuse comb where possible, and the colony goes into one of our hives to keep working. For honey bees, that's almost always a better outcome than a can of spray.

Wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets are a different situation — they're not savable pollinators, and there the right answer is licensed control, not relocation. That's exactly what our sister company Lawns Plants & Pests LLC is for, at the same number, 717-379-3248. One call covers both: honey bees relocated alive, wasps and hornets handled by the licensed crew.
