Honeybee Removals and Georgia Honey Provider
"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."
Albert Einstein

Seasonal Items
Our signature product is pure, raw, wildflower honey. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, our honey preserves all its natural enzymes, nutrients, and antioxidants. Because our bees forage on diverse regional blossoms, each jar captures a unique taste profile that shifts with the seasons across the CSRA.
We are proud to feature two distinct local harvests:
Augusta Golden Sweet: A bright, crisp, and delicately sweet honey that celebrates the classic backyard blooms of the "Garden City."
Harlem Amber Bold: A deep, robust, and richly complex honey with earthy undertones—a favorite for private chefs and artisan pairings.

Honey Bee Seasons in Augusta, GA
Spring (March–May)
Swarm Season
As temperatures rise and trees such as Tulip Poplars and Red Maples begin blooming, honey bee colonies naturally divide and swarm. Homeowners commonly notice large clusters of bees hanging from tree limbs, fences, and other structures. While swarms are typically temporary, they often signal increased bee activity.
Summer (June–August)
Hive Establishment Season
Many spring swarms eventually settle inside walls, soffits, chimneys, and other structural voids. During the summer months, colonies rapidly expand, making bee activity more noticeable and increasing the need for professional live bee extraction and honeycomb removal.
Fall (September–November)
Late-Season Hive Discoveries
Bee activity begins to slow, but many homeowners discover established colonies while performing seasonal maintenance, decorating for holidays, or preparing their homes for cooler weather. Fall removals are important because colonies are actively protecting their honey stores for winter.
Winter (December–February)
Hidden Hive Season
Honey bees in Georgia do not hibernate. On warmer winter days, bees may still be seen entering and leaving chimneys, walls, or rooflines. Winter is also an ideal time to inspect your home for potential entry points and make repairs before spring swarm season arrives.
