Embassy Lakes
Guard-gated and dating from 1989, with gates on Sheridan, Stirling and Hiatus. Bees at backyard pools are mostly thirsty foragers (bees at the pool); a nest shows as steady traffic at one soffit vent.
Short answer
Most Cooper City calls trace back to a sagging soffit, an uncapped pool cage beam or a valve box in the swale, and any colony found there ends up with a beekeeper, alive. Nothing gets cut until a thermal camera has mapped the comb. Then all the wax and honey come out, the cavity is scrubbed and sealed shut, and our own trades rebuild what was opened (live removal). Calls to (954) 429-5133 get a live answer seven days a week, nights included, and the 24-hour response guarantee covers gated and ungated streets alike.
Cooper City at a glance
- What the houses are
- Mostly single-family block and stucco from the 1970s to the 1990s, plus newer Monterra on old dairy land.
- First places scouts check
- Vented soffits along the eaves, hollow pool cage beams and irrigation boxes in the swale.
- Before we pull in
- Embassy Lakes and Country Glen are guard-gated, and HOAs may want our insurance certificate first.
Morris Cooper founded Cooper City in 1959. Its roughly eight square miles border Davie, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood and Southwest Ranches, and most homes went up in the growth years between 1970 and 2000: a swale out front, many with a screened pool out back.
Where colonies settle in a Cooper City house
Scouts check three spots first:
- Soffits. Panels sag from the fascia and comb spreads along the eave (soffit and eave removal).
- Pool enclosures. A hollow beam missing its end cap is dry, dark and open (pool cage removal).
- Lawn boxes. Irrigation valve and meter lids in the swale stay shaded all day (meter and valve boxes).
Leftover wax lures new swarms, so comb cleanup comes with every job.
Four Cooper City subdivisions and their bee spots
Rock Creek
Across Hiatus Road west of Embassy Lakes, and the other half of Embassy Creek Elementary's name. Foundation hedges hide pipe and hose-bib gaps where bees enter the block, so wall removal starts with a thermal scan.
Monterra
Built on the old Waldrep Dairy Farm, Broward's last working dairy, after Cooper City annexed it. Tighter, newer construction sends bees to roof edges and attic vents (roof and attic removal); common areas go through HOA removal.
Country Glen
Guard-gated, with late-1990s and 2000s homes, on the west edge at the Southwest Ranches line. Swarms from wild colonies on the acre lots next door may settle on the first fence post or palm boot they find (swarm call).
Spring swarms around the parks and schools
Broward County's Brian Piccolo Park on Sheridan Street, with its velodrome, cricket grounds and soccer fields, opened in 1989. Bill Lips Park, Flamingo West Park and school fields add open ground where a resting swarm can hang off a fence or backstop.
Wild colonies around here can carry Africanized genetics, so keep well back from any cluster. On park or school grounds, tell staff; one in your yard goes to our swarm crew and then to an apiary.
Traffic at one eave vent or a cage beam end?
Snap the spot they fly into from the lawn and text it; that photo usually gets you a price range.
HOA paperwork and a patch the board approves
Your manager can have our insurance certificate before we arrive; behind a gate, put us on the guard list. The entry is sealed on removal day; if the board must approve exterior changes, the final patch waits for sign-off and gets the color on file.
For who pays in common areas, see HOA bee rules; for claim photos and an itemized invoice, see the insurance guide.

Cooper City Bee Removal Questions
Bees keep landing on our pool steps in Embassy Lakes. Is there a hive?
Probably not. Foragers carry water home, and in a dry spell a pool edge draws bees from streets away. Steady traffic at one spot on the house or cage frame means a nest; text a photo and we will say which.
Can bees come out of a pool cage beam without replacing the enclosure?
Usually. A thermal scan shows how much of the beam holds comb; we open it at an end cap or a small cut, pull every scrap of comb and honey, and close it. Any panel that needs replacing is in your quote up front.
Why would bees in my swale valve box cost less than bees in my soffit?
Access. Lifting a lid at lawn level, or bagging a swarm hanging within reach, generally lands around $300 to $400. Comb spread along an eave, through a cage beam or inside a two-story wall means opening the structure and rebuilding it, so some of those jobs are priced in the thousands. A weekday booking also beats a night or weekend callout on price. Details are on pricing, or ask for a free quote.
It's Saturday night and bees are streaming out over our Rock Creek garage. Will anyone pick up?
Yes. A person answers day or night, and the 24-hour response guarantee holds on weekends too. Say right away if anyone has been stung, because those calls jump the queue. A visit outside weekday hours is billed at a higher rate; after-hours bee removal explains how it works.
