Bees where they should not be?

HiveMoves — we're what all the buzz is about.

A swarm on a branch, a hive in a wall, a colony in a meter box — bees sometimes settle where people live and work, and that can be a real threat. But bees are protected, and they do not have to die for the problem to end. A professional beekeeper can move them — a live relocation, never an extermination.

We think you're going to find our app is as sweet as honey.

Posting a request here is free. It always will be for the person with the bee problem. Your request goes to registered beekeepers who answer move requests — the professionals pay a subscription for access to the tool as a whole, never a per-request charge, and never anything charged to you.

If it cannot wait

Bees inside your home, a known allergy, children nearby, or anyone in immediate danger: call local emergency services or a licensed remover now. This board is not an emergency service and promises no response times.

Came here looking for hivemoves.com?

It is the obvious name — but hivemoves.com is a parked domain. Nobody operates a service there; the name just sits on an auction page. If what you actually need is a hive moved — or you are a beekeeper who moves them — you are in the right place, and this porch is the real front door. Look around the tool first if you like (the map button below opens it), or post a free request right here and a registered beekeeper can answer it.

Request a hive move — free

Where are the bees? (street address, or nearest cross streets) City Area or neighborhood (shown publicly — not your exact address) What is the situation? Tell us more How long have they been there? Someone nearby is allergic to bee stings Someone is in immediate danger The bees are inside a home Your name Your phone Your email

Your name, phone, email and exact location are private. Beekeepers see only your city, area, situation and urgency until one of them claims your request — then that beekeeper, and only that beekeeper, sees your contact so they can call you. (Photo upload is not offered yet — describe the situation in words for now.)

Are you a beekeeper? Answer requests like these

The professionals who answer requests are beekeepers who register with us and show their credentials. We describe them honestly: we collect credentials and review them by hand — we do not claim any credential was verified beyond that review, and there is no general "beekeeper license" in most states. What this trade actually holds: state or county apiary registration, beekeeper association membership, master beekeeper certification, a business license, and — for removals from buildings in some states — a pest-control license.

Access to the jobs board is a paid subscription for the tool — the founding price is being set right now, so no card is charged today. Register below and you reserve a founding place; when your registration is reviewed and admitted, you get your board access code. Requests themselves are always distributed free — no per-request or per-lead charges, ever.
