Oriole Gardens
A 55+ condominium community of about 1,400 units in three neighborhoods, built 1973 to 1979. Outside walls and roofs are usually common property, so the manager books the visit and wants our insurance certificate (condo removal).
Short answer
When honey bees claim a seam in a Margate villa, condo building or 1970s ranch house, the whole colony goes to a beekeeper alive and nothing gets sprayed. Before anything is cut, a thermal camera traces the comb; afterward every piece is gone and our licensed roofers and painters patch what was opened. Margate calls to (954) 429-5133 are picked up day and night and fall under our 24-hour response guarantee.
Margate at a glance
- What got built
- Ranch houses, attached villas and condo buildings, largely from the 1970s.
- Where colonies settle
- Original soffits, storm-patched roof edges, villa party walls and in-ground valve boxes.
- Who signs off
- Boards or managers approve work on shared condo and villa walls and roofs.
Margate became a town in 1955 and a city in 1961. Its name joins the first three letters of founder Jack Marqusee's surname to "gate," as in gateway to western Broward. Much of the 1970s boom still stands, with fifty summers of storm wear on its seams.
Sharing a roof or wall with a neighbor? Read our condo and HOA bee rules first.
Party walls and shared roofs
Villas and condos here put several owners under one roof. Comb behind a cracked shared wall may sit on the neighbor's side, in a hollow block cell or in the attic over both units; a thermal scan settles which before anyone argues (wall bee removal).
Send us the manager's contact, and the board gets one quote to vote on (condo bee removal).
Margate's 55+ villages, golf-course condos and the 441 corridor
Oriole Golf and Tennis Club
55+ condominiums from the 1970s beside the Oriole golf course on Margate Boulevard. A swarm here can pick between hollow limbs in the course trees and loose roof edges on the buildings (tree colonies, roof work).
Paradise Gardens
Roughly 1,800 ranch homes in four 55+ subdivisions built from 1969 to 1982, with screened patios and canal-side walking paths. Original soffit vents are the weak point (soffit removal), and bees drinking at the canal bank point to a colony close by (pool guide).
Margate Boulevard and US 441
City Hall and its clock tower sit on Margate Boulevard, and US 441 crosses the city. Margate counts more than ten shopping centers, where parapet gaps and curbside utility boxes let colonies in; managers get photos and an itemized invoice (commercial removal).
Fifty-year-old soffits and storm-patched roofs
Hurricane Wilma damaged a large share of Margate's homes and businesses in 2005. Where a roof or soffit was patched instead of replaced, the joint between new and old gives scouts a dry cavity.
Watch for traffic at one corner of the eave or humming in the wall after dark. Comb between rafters calls for roof and attic removal; a sticky ceiling stain calls for our ceiling leak guide.
Waiting on a Margate board vote?
Text a photo of the entry, the building address and the association's name, and a price range comes back for the board.
Setting up a Margate visit
Condo complexes repeat one building design, so give us the building number, unit and truck parking. At a house, mention locked gates, dogs and any screen enclosure (pool cage removal).
A colony in a valve box or low hedge usually costs $300 to $400; inside a party wall, a second-floor soffit or an attic, repairs can push the bill into the thousands (how pricing works). For a range, text us a photo or use the free quote form.

Margate Bee Removal Questions
The bees are in the wall my Margate villa shares with next door. Whose bill is it?
Your condo or villa documents decide, and cost usually follows ownership. A common-element wall is the association's job; when each owner holds half, neighbors often split the bill. A thermal scan shows all parties where the comb sits (condo and HOA guide).
My Margate condo board is slow to act on the bees. Can I call you directly?
Yes. Also send your manager a written request, because common walls and roofs need board approval before anyone opens them. Photos and an insurance certificate can go straight to the manager. If people are being stung, call now (emergency removal).
Bees keep using one eave on my 1970s house. Is that a hive?
A steady line at one spot, still busy toward evening, nearly always means comb inside, often behind a loose vent strip or soft fascia. After a thermal scan, all comb comes out, the cavity is sealed and our own crews finish the repair (soffit removal).
Can my Margate association and I both use your job records for an insurance claim?
Yes. The file holds photos of the comb, the opened cavity and the finished repair, plus an itemized invoice that either the unit owner or the association can attach. Policies differ, so read insurance and bee damage before calling your agent.
