Frequently Asked Questions

Do you remove bees without killing them?
Responsible live removal is a priority for providers like Soil and Hive, especially when dealing with honey bees rather than wasps or hornets. Where possible, colonies are relocated rather than exterminated, which is better for local pollinator populations.
What types of pest situations do you handle?
The focus is primarily on bee-related pest control, including swarms and established hive removal from residential and commercial properties. If you're dealing with wasps, yellow jackets, or hornets, it's worth asking directly whether those fall within their service scope.
Where can I find your pop-up shop?
Soil and Hive appears at various local markets and community events around Beaverton and the greater Portland metro area. Calling (971) 245-4281 or checking local event listings is the best way to find out where they'll be next.
Is your honey locally sourced from Oregon bees?
Yes, the honey they sell comes from local Oregon apiaries, reflecting the regional flora that bees have access to throughout the growing season. Depending on the season, you may find varieties like blackberry, wildflower, or clover honey available.
How quickly can you respond to a swarm in my yard?
Swarm response times vary depending on the season and current workload, since spring through early summer is peak swarm season in Oregon. Calling as soon as you notice a swarm gives the best chance of a same-day or next-day response.
What's the difference between a swarm and an established hive?
A swarm is a temporary cluster of bees that's in transit and looking for a new home, usually resting for a few hours to a few days. An established hive has built comb and is actively raising brood, which makes removal more involved and typically more expensive.
