Short answerOut of the stall wall, the hollow oak or the tile roof: Davie colonies leave alive and end up with beekeepers. The thermal camera finds the comb first, so the cut lands in the right place. All the wax comes out, the cavity gets scrubbed, and licensed tradespeople from the same company close the hole. A live person answers (954) 429-5133 day and night, and a ranch lot gets the same 24-hour response guarantee as a house behind a guard gate.
Davie at a glance
- What people live in
- Ranch houses on acre lots, late-1980s and 1990s subdivisions, gated 2000s estates.
- Where colonies move in
- Barn siding, feed and tack rooms, hollow oak limbs, soffits and tile roofs.
- Shade and water
- Live oak hammocks, the South New River Canal, lake lots and horse troughs.
- Getting the truck in
- Ranch gates, loose dogs and turned-out horses; guard gates in estate communities.
Horses are part of everyday life in Davie. Town trails link neighborhoods with parks and schools, the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds anchor a western-theme downtown, and many backyards hold a barn instead of a pool cage.
So colonies turn up in stall walls a few feet from a horse, in hollow oak limbs and on estate roofs. Animals get moved first, then come the live removal and the repair.
Barns, stables and the animals inside them
Horse properties give honey bees spaces a house never offers: the gap behind barn siding, a feed room ceiling, a trailer parked since last season. A defensive colony there is serious, because a stalled horse cannot run.
Before the crew pulls in, put horses and dogs in the paddock farthest from the barn, or trailer them out. Thermal imaging shows how far the comb runs, so only those boards come off (Shed, Barn & Stable Bee Removal).
Davie areas and the places their colonies pick
Western Theme District (downtown)
Around Davie Road and Orange Drive, near the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds, town design rules give storefronts an old western look. Decorative facades and sign cabinets hide hollow pockets that flat stucco lacks (commercial removal).
Orange Drive and the South New River Canal
The Linear Park Trail follows the canal's north bank from the Turnpike west across nearly the whole town, linking Davie's equestrian parks. Barns, run-in sheds and feed rooms near it draw scouts (barn and stable removal).
Pine Island Ridge
Annexed into Davie in 2006, this neighborhood shares its name with the ridge holding Broward's highest natural point, 29 feet above sea level. The ridge keeps a live oak canopy that is rare this far south, and older yard oaks nearby suit trunk colonies.
Ivanhoe
A suburban neighborhood where an equestrian trail runs the full length of SW 148th Avenue, on the line with Southwest Ranches. Rural lots sit across the trail, so swarms drift between ranch fence posts and backyard eaves.
Long Lake Ranches
A guard-gated estate community off Nob Hill Road just north of Griffin Road, built in the early 2000s, with one- and two-story homes on half-acre to acre-plus lots. On houses this size the roofline gets checked first (roof and attic removal).
Shenandoah
A master-planned community of houses and townhomes in western Davie, built in the late 1980s and early 1990s. At that age soffit screens split and roof flashing lifts, two easy doors for a scouting swarm (soffit and eave removal).
Old oaks, canal water and acre-lot yards
Live oaks run all through Davie, from the Tree Tops Park hammock to big trees on private lots. A split trunk or hollow limb can hold a colony for years (tree and palm work).
Canal banks, lakefront pools and horse troughs keep foragers busy, but bees at the water are not proof of a nest in your barn (how to trace them home).
Comb behind the feed room wall?
One photo of the gap in the siding, sent to our number, earns a likely price range.
Campus offices, plazas and gated communities
Davie is also a college town: Nova Southeastern University's main campus, Broward College's A. Hugh Adams Central Campus and Davie campuses of two state universities sit close together. Nearby offices and plazas have planters and sign boxes that catch spring swarms.
Property managers usually want a certificate of insurance, a weekday visit and photos of the job. Who pays for a common-area colony is explained in the association rules guide (HOA & Commercial Bee Removal).
Pricing a Davie bee job
Expect roughly $300 to $400 when the bees are within easy reach, such as a cluster on the hedge along a paddock fence or a colony in the valve box by the road. Bees that have filled a barn wall, a second-story soffit or a hollow oak can run into the thousands once access and repairs are counted. Nights and weekends cost extra, so book a weekday if nobody is in danger.

Davie Bee Removal Questions
There are bees in my barn. What happens with the horses?
Move them first, to the farthest paddock or off the property, since opening a barn wall riles the colony. Tell us how many animals are on site and which stalls are closest. The crew works from the far side and seals up before the horses return.
Honey bees moved into the big live oak on our acre lot. Does the oak have to come down?
Usually not. Thermal imaging shows where the comb sits in the trunk or limb, so the opening is cut only as large as reaching all of it requires. When the wood has rotted past the point of being safe, you hear that from us before work begins. See how tree and palm jobs go.
There is a swarm on the Linear Park Trail or in Tree Tops Park. Who handles it?
The trail is run by the Town of Davie and Tree Tops Park by Broward County, so tell park staff. Most clusters hanging off a branch are in transit and gone by the second morning. If it crosses onto your property and starts entering a wall or shed, call (954) 429-5133.
Can your truck get past a guard gate in a Davie estate community?
Yes, once the guardhouse has our company name and your address. Ask whether the association wants our insurance certificate first. If a tile or stucco repair needs board approval, the gap gets a temporary seal until the permanent patch is cleared.
The colony by our paddock turns mean fast. Does that change things with horses around?
It does. A person can run indoors; a horse shut in a stall or a small paddock cannot, so that colony moves up our list. Broward has Africanized honey bees, and nobody can tell them from gentler stock by sight, so assume any colony that chases people is dangerous. Someone with a lot of stings or a closing throat needs an ambulance through 911 before anything else; our crew is at (954) 429-5133 once that call is made.
