Wynmoor Village
A gated 55+ community: well over a hundred condo buildings, put up from 1978 to 1999, around an 18-hole golf course. Colonies on common property go through management first (condo removals).
Short answer
Honey bees that settle into a Coconut Creek condo, villa or house leave alive: the whole colony goes to a beekeeper, and no spray ever touches the city's butterfly gardens. The comb is located with a thermal camera first, so only the right panel comes off. Afterward no comb is left behind, the cavity is cleaned, the entry sealed, and our own contractors repair the opening. Found them at midnight or on a Sunday? Call (954) 429-5133 anyway: that line never closes, and the 24-hour response guarantee holds all the same.
Coconut Creek at a glance
- Housing mix
- Condos, villas, townhomes and houses, many of them under a condo or homeowner association.
- Food all around
- Butterfly gardens and planted roadsides keep nectar close, so colonies crowd their homes and swarm readily.
- At the gate
- Guarded entrances like Wynmoor's need our name on the guest list first.
Coconut Creek goes by the Butterfly Capital of the World, after Butterfly World in Tradewinds Park, and it was the first Florida city recognized as a National Wildlife Federation Community Wildlife Habitat. All that planting feeds honey bees too, and their swarms end up in villa walls and valve boxes. Spraying is off the table; live removal is all we do.
What a pollinator city means for honey bees
Medians, park gardens and backyard butterfly beds keep honey bees fed near home, so colonies build comb fast and split when space runs out, mostly in spring. Bees on a pentas bed are just feeding; a steady line in and out of one stucco crack means comb behind it.
Coconut Creek areas and their bee problems
The Township
A big planned development mixing condos, townhouses, villas and houses across more than 30 associations. On a shared wall, step one is learning which association owns the stucco (condo and HOA bee rules).
Tradewinds Park, Sample Road
Butterfly World's flowering gardens and passion vines sit inside this park; nearby yards share the forage. A spring swarm on a hedge often leaves by itself; one building comb needs swarm removal.
Fern Forest Nature Center
A Broward County preserve off Lyons Road with cypress and red maple swamp, hardwood hammock and prairie. Hollow trunks suit wild colonies, whose swarms may pick a backyard oak or shed next (tree removal).
MainStreet district
The city's planned mixed-use downtown, between Sample and Wiles roads west of Lyons Road. Each new block adds irrigation valves and utility boxes at ground level, easy cavities for a swarm (meter and valve boxes).
Condo boards, villa rows and who signs off
In condo buildings like Wynmoor's, walls, roofs and common areas usually belong to the condominium, so the board approves the work. In villa rows, one wall may divide two owners, and the association's documents decide who handles the exterior. For the board's records we supply photos plus an itemized invoice, paperwork that also backs up an insurance claim (HOA removal).

Where bees get into Coconut Creek buildings
- Villa walls: hollow block cells, located by thermal camera before any cut (wall removal).
- Soffits: storm-loosened vented panels, often given away by a honey stain (soffit work).
- Condo roofs: flashing gaps that a roofer has to close (roof removal).
- Pool cages: hollow aluminum frame members (pool cage removal).
- Stored shutters: panels stacked beside a villa between storms (shutters guide).
Getting the crew in and the repair finished
Have the building number and management company ready; an upper-floor condo job may also need a parking spot and a stairwell plan. When the bees sit within arm's reach, as with a swarm hanging in a butterfly-bed shrub or a colony in a ground-level valve box, expect roughly $300 to $400 (how pricing works). Colonies up on a roof, behind an upper-floor wall or deep in villa block cost more and can climb into the thousands. Our own licensed roofers and painters close the opening in the association's color, and a free quote starts when you text us a photo.

Coconut Creek Bee Removal Questions
Wynmoor has a guard at the gate. How does your truck get past it?
Tell the gatehouse to expect Broward Bee Rescue, then send us the building and unit number so the crew drives straight to the right door. Property managers often ask for a certificate of insurance before anyone touches common property, and we email it ahead of the visit. When the colony sits in a common wall, expect the association, not the unit owner, to approve the work.
Will bee removal hurt the butterflies in my garden?
No. There is no spraying and no poison, so host plants, caterpillars and chrysalises are untouched. Only the cavity where the colony lived gets opened, and we repair it; the bees themselves travel alive to a beekeeper. More on how relocation works.
Bees are clumped on my hedge near Tradewinds Park. Now what?
Leave the cluster alone and keep children and dogs well back from that hedge. Swarms often rest a day or so while scouts pick a home, then fly off. If it stays longer, starts making wax, or someone at home is allergic, text us a photo for a swarm removal price.
Honey is staining my villa ceiling. Is that bees?
Probably. A big colony above a ceiling or inside a wall can overheat, and honey seeps through drywall and paint. Every piece of comb has to come out, or the stain keeps spreading. See honey through the ceiling or call (954) 429-5133.
Spring brings swarms all over Coconut Creek. Will a new one claim the spot you cleared?
Scouts will investigate, because old wax and honey leave a scent that draws them, and this city never runs short of swarms. Pulling every piece of comb, cleaning the void and sealing the entry takes away both the smell and the doorway. Our workmanship is warrantied, so a colony turning up again at an opening we sealed gets a return visit.
