Honey Bee Removal & Beekeeping Services in Charleston County, SC
Lowcountry Bee Works is a beekeeper-owned business based on Yonges Island, and Charleston County is home turf. From the farms around Hollywood and Ravenel to downtown Charleston, Mount Pleasant and the sea islands, we remove honey bees alive, provide pollination for growers, and manage hives for property owners. We don't kill bees: every colony we remove goes to one of our managed apiaries.
Charleston County's mix of historic homes, beach houses, farms and woodland gives honey bees no shortage of places to settle: wall voids, soffits, attics, hollow live oaks, sheds and equipment. Our long warm season means swarms can show up from early spring well into summer. Because we're based in the county, we can usually get out quickly to look at a swarm or an established colony and give you an honest answer about what it will take.
Bee Removal
We handle swarm pickups, structural cut-outs, trap-outs and colony relocations anywhere in Charleston County. Pricing starts at free and depends on the size of the colony and how hard it is to reach, and many cut-outs are finished in a couple of hours on a single visit. We take the bees, comb, honey and brood so nothing is left behind to attract pests. We don't do wall or structure repairs afterward, so plan on a contractor or handyman to close things up.
Pollination
Charleston County still has working farms, orchards, berry patches and market gardens, especially on Johns, Wadmalaw and Edisto Islands and out around Hollywood and Ravenel. We place strong colonies for the bloom, look after them for the length of the contract, and move them out when the crop is done.
Apiary Management
Want bees on your land without the day-to-day work? We manage hives for homeowners, landowners and businesses across the county, including routine inspections, swarm prevention, queen checks, feeding, pest and disease monitoring, and help at harvest time.
