Book a Free InspectionBees are vital pollinators — we never kill what we can relocate. Honey bees go to local Manitoba apiaries alive whenever possible. Bumble, carpenter, and ground bees are treated only when they pose a real risk to people, pets, or property.
Golden-brown with darker stripes and translucent wings. We coordinate with local Manitoba beekeepers to vacuum or cut out colonies alive and rehome them. Lethal control is a last resort.
Big, fuzzy, black with bright yellow or orange bands. A critical native Manitoba pollinator — we leave nests alone when they are not near people or pets and treat only when removal is necessary.
Black-bodied with a shiny abdomen and often mistaken for a bumble bee. It drills perfect 12 mm holes into untreated wood. Targeted treatment plus wood sealing prevents repeat damage.
Small solitary bees nesting in loose, dry soil. Most are gentle and beneficial pollinators. We recommend treatment only when dense nesting creates a genuine stinging risk near paths or play areas.
DIY sprays usually scatter bees, trigger defensive stinging, and fail to reach the queen inside the nest. Call a licensed specialist before someone gets stung or the colony spreads to neighbouring eaves.

Identify the species, locate the nest, and decide between live relocation and treatment. Honey bee colonies almost always go to a local Manitoba beekeeper alive.
Honey bee swarms and hives are vacuumed or cut out alive with a local beekeeper. Other nests posing a real risk receive targeted treatment at the entrance only.
Health Canada–approved products are applied after dusk when bees are calm — never across open spaces, blooms, or areas where beneficial pollinators forage.
Seal entry points, repair carpenter bee tunnels, and adjust wood treatment or landscaping. Free re-treatment applies within the warranty period if bees return.
Protecting bees while protecting your property. At Terra13 Pest Control, we recognize honeybees as valuable pollinators. Whenever possible, our goal is to safely remove and relocate healthy honeybee colonies instead of destroying them while resolving conflicts between bees and people.
Honeybee colonies inside walls and soffitsRoof and attic bee infestationsBee colonies in chimneys and wall voidsSwarms hanging from trees, fences, and buildingsCommercial and residential propertiesEmergency honeybee removal when accessibleOur technicians inspect the site to locate the colony and entry points, then recommend the safest removal method based on access, structural risk, and the condition of the bees.
Find the colony, entry points, honeycomb, and the areas where bees are moving through the structure.
Carefully access the hive with minimal structural disturbance and use the most practical removal method.
Remove honeycomb, brood, and bees whenever possible, then safely capture and relocate the queen and healthy colony.
Remove remaining honeycomb, explain the findings, and recommend sealing entry points to help prevent re-infestation.
Hidden honeybee colonies can sometimes be located using professional thermal imaging technology. Thermal cameras identify heat signatures inside walls, ceilings, and soffits, helping our technicians plan a more targeted removal while reducing unnecessary openings. Thermal imaging is an inspection aid and is combined with a thorough visual assessment.
Whenever practical, we recommend complete honeycomb removal. Leaving comb inside a wall can create new property and pest problems, even after the bees are gone.

Our objective is to protect both people and these important pollinators across Winnipeg and Manitoba.
Winnipeg's short summer pushes bees to nest fast. Honey bee swarms appear from May through July when colonies split and search for new homes — eaves, soffits, attic vents, and tree cavities are prime real estate.
Carpenter bees drill into untreated wood across older homes in River Heights, Wolseley, and Crescentwood, while bumble and ground bees colonize yards and gardens. We adjust the approach to each species and the surrounding landscape.
Bee removal solves the immediate nest. These habits stop the next colony from choosing the same eave, wall, or lawn corner during Manitoba's short summer nesting season.
Paint and seal exposed untreated wood — carpenter bees prefer raw cedar and pine.
Cover soffit vents, weep holes, and eave gaps with bee-proof mesh no wider than 6 mm.
Repair previous carpenter bee tunnels; their pheromones attract new bees.
Avoid bright outdoor lighting near eaves and entries because it attracts foraging bees.
Cover open garbage and clean sticky spills; sugar attracts bees and wasps.
Compact bare lawn patches and reseed; ground bees prefer loose, sandy soil.FAQ

Free re-treatment applies within the warranty period, typically 60 days for bumble, carpenter, and ground bee jobs. Honey bee relocation results depend on access and removal method.
Almost always. We coordinate with local Winnipeg beekeepers to vacuum, cut out, or capture honey bee colonies and swarms alive and rehome them in apiaries. Lethal control is a last resort when relocation is genuinely impossible.
Free inspection, affordable inspection-based quote, and a satisfaction guarantee. We relocate honey bees alive whenever possible. Call our 24/7 line or send photos and we'll triage the species before we arrive.
