Weston Hills
Guard-gated, with houses along the fairways and lakes of the Weston Hills Country Club courses. Foragers from fairway trees cross course-side lots, so we check the screen cage and eaves before calling it a nest.
Short answer
A Weston colony leaves alive, whether it moved in beneath a tile roof, into a lakeside screen enclosure or into a Windmill Ranch Estates barn, and a beekeeper's apiary takes it in. The thermal camera goes over the roof or wall first and shows the warm mass of comb, which tells us where to open up. Every scrap of it comes out and the hollow is washed and sealed, then our own roofers and painters put the tile and stucco back. Whoever calls (954) 429-5133, gated lake lot or Bonaventure condo, gets an answer around the clock and our 24-hour response guarantee.
Weston at a glance
- Age of the houses
- Arvida's first homes date to 1984 and The Isles to the mid-2000s; Bonaventure grew up separately. Stucco and tile throughout.
- Where comb turns up
- Tile ends, two-story soffits, pool enclosure framing, lakeside valve boxes and Windmill Ranch Estates tack rooms.
- Open country next door
- The Everglades form the western edge and lakes wind between neighborhoods, so swarms come from every side.
Weston began as Indian Trace, an Arvida plan on land Arthur Vining Davis amassed in the 1950s, and became a city in 1996. The plan brought lakes, guard gates and tile roofs, and its last back yards meet the Everglades, which shapes every live removal here.
The stucco and tile seams Weston scouts slip through
Outside Bonaventure, nearly every Weston house dates from 1984 or later, so rot is rarely the way in. Scouts use the seams that stucco-and-tile building leaves:
- Tile ends and hips with a slipped closure (roof and attic removal).
- Upper soffit vents with torn screens (soffit and eave work).
- Pool enclosure beams, hollow and shaded (pool cage removal).
- Irrigation valve and meter boxes along swales and lake banks (meter and valve boxes).
- Stucco walls at pipes and fixtures (wall bee removal).
Weston communities and where their bees tend to hide
Savanna
Weston's largest gated community: two guard gates, a clubhouse, lakefront lots and a western side on the Everglades. Built around 2000, its houses usually let scouts in at a soffit vent or loose tile end.
Windmill Ranch Estates
Guard-gated in southeast Weston, with lake-lined lots up to about two acres. Horses are allowed and the community has its own stables and bridle trails, so stalls and tack rooms draw colonies too (barn and shed removal).
Country Isles
Arvida finished its first Weston homes here and in Windmill Ranch in 1984. Those first-wave houses, plus the townhomes and villas that followed, have had the longest run of sun on vent screens and fascia (roof work).
The Isles at Weston
Guard-gated, with one- and two-story Mediterranean-style houses from the mid-2000s around large lakes and a clubhouse. A colony in an upper soffit or second-floor wall needs a tall ladder or lift, the biggest price factor here.
Bonaventure
Developed apart from Arvida, it chose Weston over Sunrise in a 1997 vote. Condo buildings overlook the Bonaventure Golf Club fairways, and a colony in a shared roof is usually a board decision (condo removal).
Guardhouses, HOA approvals and a patch that matches
When an association must approve exterior changes, we seal the opening temporarily the day the bees go and hold the permanent repair until approval. Our roofers match tile profile and color; painters blend the stucco patch.
Owner or association: which one foots the bill depends on your governing documents, and our page on HOA and condo bee rules walks through how that split usually falls. Shop and office managers near Weston Town Center can start with HOA and commercial removal.
Something streaming out of a tile ridge or a cage beam?

The Everglades edge, lakes and spring swarms
No Broward city reaches farther west; Weston's entire western edge faces the Everglades. Swarms from wild colonies out there often settle in the first streets or parks they hit, such as Weston Regional Park off Saddle Club Road or Vista Park beside Cypress Bay High School. Parks are the city's concern; a cluster on your hedge is a swarm call.
Lakes run through Savanna, The Isles and Windmill Ranch Estates, so bees at the pool steps are often just hauling water (pool guide).
Pricing a Weston job: a swale valve box versus second-story tile
Roughly $300 to $400 covers the easy ground-level work in Weston: a valve box beside the swale, say, or a swarm hanging in a shrub at chest height. Colonies under second-story tile or inside stucco can run into the thousands with the repair, and nights and weekends cost more than a scheduled weekday.
Texting us a picture of the roofline and the bees is the easy way to get a range and a free, no-obligation quote; our Broward pricing breakdown explains why a lift or a tile repair raises a Weston bill.

Weston Bee Removal Questions
Will the guardhouse at Weston Hills, Savanna or The Isles let your crew in?
Yes, once you put our company name on your visitor list for that date. Some associations also want a contractor's insurance certificate on file first; just tell us which office needs it and we send ours ahead of the visit.
Bees moved into a stable near our horses. Are the horses in danger?
They can be. A stalled or tied horse cannot escape a defensive colony, and Africanized bees are part of South Florida's wild population. Lead horses to a far paddock if you safely can, then call (954) 429-5133. A shared Windmill Ranch Estates stable is usually the association's call. Horse lots continue south into Southwest Ranches.
Bees are drinking at our lake bank and pool. Do we have a hive?
Not necessarily. This close to the Everglades and open water, foragers on a lake lot can come from far off. What points to a nest is traffic: bees flying a constant line into one tile gap, soffit vent or cage beam and back out again.
We own a Bonaventure condo. Who arranges the removal?
Normally the association, since a condo building's roofs and outside walls are common elements. Report it to the manager and have them call us; the board gets a certificate of insurance, job photos and an itemized invoice (condo and high-rise removal).
Bees moved into our pool cage beam over the weekend, and nobody's been stung. Can it wait until Monday?
In most cases, yes, and a scheduled weekday visit is cheaper than a weekend or after-dark callout. Keep kids and pets off the lanai meanwhile, and don't plug the hole: bees cut off from their entry can work their way toward the house. Book it within days rather than weeks, since a beam colony keeps adding comb.
