Short answerFrom the original east-side streets to West Pines lake lots, a honey bee colony in a Pembroke Pines roof, wall or condo building comes out alive and is handed to a beekeeper. The thermal camera maps the comb through tile or stucco before anyone cuts, and once the last piece is out, the opening goes to our in-house roofers and painters to close. Every street from North Perry Airport to U.S. 27 sits inside the 24-hour response guarantee, with (954) 429-5133 picked up around the clock.
Pembroke Pines at a glance
- East and west halves
- The original streets lie east of University Drive; West Pines, past I-75, is mostly post-1992 subdivisions.
- Where scouts get in
- Lifted tile, torn soffit screens, patio cage framing, swale valve boxes and shutter housings.
- Gates and water
- Gated entries and condo boards are routine; lakes back onto lots in SilverLakes and Pembroke Falls.
Pembroke Pines grew east to west. A 1980 annexation added the land from Flamingo Road to U.S. 27, doubling the city, and after Hurricane Andrew in 1992 the land past I-75 filled with planned subdivisions.
The two halves let bees in differently, and both get a live removal and our own repair.
Tile, screens and valve boxes: how Pines colonies move in
On the tile-roofed stucco houses common west of I-75, scouts work cracked tiles, open ridge ends and torn soffit screens. Older east-side homes add porch enclosures tied into the original roofline. Swale valve boxes collect spring swarms (meter and valve boxes), and shutter housings left shut make a ready box (shutter guide).
Honey seeping through drywall means old comb: see the leaking honey guide, the insurance guide and comb cleanup.
Where Pines colonies settle
East of University Drive
The city incorporated in 1960 on less than a square mile here, when University Drive marked the western edge of settled land. Each re-roof, porch enclosure and stucco patch since then can leave a seam for scouts (wall removal).
Century Village
Along Pines Boulevard, this gated 55-plus condominium community spreads two- to four-story buildings around lakes and ponds. A colony in an outer wall or roof usually goes through the board (condo removal).
SilverLakes, north of Pembroke Road
Founded in 1990 on a former limestone mine, SilverLakes runs from Sheridan Street south into Miramar; this half sits north of Pembroke Road. Reclaimed lakes pull foragers into backyards, and a lifted roof tile is an easy way in (roof removal).
Chapel Trail
Seventeen sub-associations in western Pembroke Pines, built from the late 1980s to the late 1990s. The city's Chapel Trail Nature Preserve wetland lies along part of it; a swarm leaving that edge can settle in the nearest soffit, shed or valve box.
Pembroke Falls
Gated, master-planned community off NW 136th Avenue built around stocked lakes. A screened back patio's hollow aluminum posts, a few steps from the water, make an easy cavity (pool cage removal).
Flamingo Road and Pines Boulevard
C.B. Smith Park, a 299-acre county park with the Paradise Cove water park, and Pembroke Lakes Mall share this corner. A swarm on a bumper or light pole is resting, not nesting, and usually leaves within a day or two (swarm removal).
Lake lots, wetland and bees at the pool
Lakes and wetland edge much of the west side. Foragers haul water home to cool the brood, so lake-lot pool steps stay busy.
Busy pool steps alone do not mean a nest in your house. See the pool guide, and for a colony in a lake-bank tree or palm, tree and palm removal.
Bees under the tile or behind the stucco?
Photograph the gap, the roofline above it and the yard around it, then text the set to (954) 429-5133 for a price range.
Gates, architectural approval and condo boards
Gated entries are common in West Pines. Put our name on the visitor list and tell us if the gate wants an insurance certificate; we send it ahead. Ask early if the architectural committee must approve a tile or paint match. When the bees sit in a shared wall or roof, the hiring decision normally belongs to the condo board (HOA and commercial removal, condo and HOA rules).
Pricing a Pines job: valve box or second-story tile
The $300 to $400 range covers ground-level work: a swale valve box, or a swarm hanging low enough to reach from the lawn. A colony under second-story tile, behind stucco or with a full season of comb can climb into the thousands with repairs. Nights and weekends carry a higher rate than a booked weekday.
Snap the entry hole and the wall or roof around it, then send the pictures by text; that is enough for a price range. A free quote carries no obligation, and the pricing page breaks down what moves the number.

Pembroke Pines Bee Removal Questions
Bees are in our Century Village building. Who books the removal?
Usually the association or its manager: outer walls and roofs are common elements under most condo declarations, so let the office know right away. Our insurance certificate reaches the board before work starts, and the photo record and itemized invoice follow the job. Who pays is spelled out in the condo rules guide.
Our lot backs onto the Chapel Trail preserve. Will the bees ever stop?
Not entirely. Foragers from wild colonies in the wetland will keep crossing your yard, and that is normal. What matters is whether a colony has moved into your soffit, valve box, shed or a yard tree on your side of the fence (tree removal).
The colony by our lake keeps chasing the lawn crew. Does that mean Africanized bees?
Maybe, so act as if it does. Nobody can confirm Africanized bees by sight, and those genetics are established in wild colonies in this part of the state; a colony that pours out at a mower or trails people is dangerous until it is gone. If the crew or a neighbor ends up with many stings or a tight throat, that is a 911 call, and ours, at (954) 429-5133, can wait until they are safe.
Bees turned up on a Saturday night at our West Pines house. Should we wait for Monday?
That depends on who is near them. Saturday and Sunday count toward the 24-hour response guarantee, someone answers 24/7, and stinging cases move to the front. A weekend or after-dark trip is priced higher, though, so a quiet colony away from the doors and pool deck can sensibly wait for a weekday booking (emergency bee removal).
SilverLakes crosses into Miramar. Is the south half covered too?
Pines colony out, roof and wall put back
East of University or out past I-75, (954) 429-5133 picks up 24/7 with a no-obligation free quote.
