Key Takeaway:
If you hear buzzing, notice stains, or see bees entering small openings in your walls, you may have a colony living inside. Don’t attempt to handle it yourself. Call a professional bee removal service to safely extract the bees, remove the hive, and repair the space to prevent future infestations.
It starts with a faint buzzing sound—or a few bees repeatedly flying near a vent or siding. Then you notice a strange smell, maybe even a soft spot in the wall. These subtle signs could mean there’s more than just a few bees visiting. You might have a full colony living inside your home’s structure.
How Do Bees Get Into Walls?
Bees can enter through even the smallest cracks or holes in your siding, soffits, bricks, or roofline. Once inside, they’ll quickly build a hive between wall studs, using insulation or empty cavities as shelter. This location offers warmth, protection, and the hidden space a growing colony needs.
Warning Signs of Bees in Walls
-
Constant bee activity around a small hole, vent, or siding seam
-
Low, steady buzzing sounds inside the wall, especially during the day
-
Soft spots or bulges in drywall
-
A sweet, waxy odor from inside your home
-
Discoloration or oozing (from melted honeycomb) on walls or ceilings
Why Bees in Walls Are a Serious Problem
An active hive inside your walls can contain thousands of bees and several pounds of honeycomb. Over time, the weight and moisture can cause structural damage, attracting ants, rodents, and mold. Plus, if disturbed, bees can become aggressive—posing a risk to anyone in the home.
Do Not Block the Entrance
One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is trying to seal the bees inside. Blocking their entrance can trap them in your walls, forcing them deeper into your home or causing them to die off and decay. This creates even more problems.
Why You Should Avoid DIY Removal
Removing bees from within walls requires specialized tools, training, and safety measures. Professionals know how to locate the hive, remove it without excessive damage, and prevent re-entry. Attempting it yourself could result in injuries, property damage, or incomplete removal.
