About City Bee Savers

City Bee Savers is based in Wheaton, Illinois, a DuPage County city where suburban neighborhoods sit alongside forest preserves and residential gardens that bees readily call home. They've earned a 4.7-star rating from 31 reviewers, making them one of the more trusted bee service providers in the western Chicago suburbs. Their dual focus on pest control and honey production means they handle both sides of the bee equation: removing swarms and hives from places they don't belong, and producing honey from colonies that do. That combination is genuinely useful for homeowners throughout the area.

Services & Process

City Bee Savers handles live bee removal, which means getting a swarm or established colony out of a structure without simply exterminating them. This matters because it preserves the bees rather than destroying a pollinator population. On the honey side, managed hives produce local Wheaton-area honey that reflects the wildflowers, clover, and garden plants common throughout DuPage County. Customers dealing with bees in walls, soffits, or attic spaces get a specialist who understands both the structural and biological side of removal. Honey buyers get a product made by bees that actually live and forage in the local area.

Service Area

City Bee Savers serves Wheaton and the broader DuPage County area, including nearby communities like Glen Ellyn, Naperville, Lombard, and Carol Stream. Calls from across the western Chicago suburbs are welcome, and swarm season inquiries are handled promptly given how quickly bee colonies can establish themselves in a new location.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between bee removal and extermination?
Bee removal means the live colony is relocated rather than killed, which preserves the pollinators and is generally considered more responsible. Extermination might be faster, but it leaves dead bees and honeycomb inside walls that can attract other pests and cause structural issues over time.
How quickly can City Bee Savers respond to a swarm call in Wheaton?
Response times depend on the season and current call volume, but spring swarm season tends to be busy across DuPage County. Calling (630) 660-9846 directly is the fastest way to find out current availability and get on the schedule.
Will the bees come back after removal?
If the removal is done properly and entry points are sealed, bees typically don't return to the same spot. However, if remnants of comb or honey are left behind in a wall, the scent can attract new swarms in following seasons.
Is their honey local to the Wheaton area?
Yes, the honey comes from hives managed in and around Wheaton, so the bees are foraging on DuPage County flora including clover, wildflowers, and garden plants common throughout the suburbs. That gives the honey a flavor genuinely tied to the local landscape.
Do you handle bee removal from inside walls or only outdoor swarms?
Established hives inside walls are more complex to remove than open swarms, and they usually require cutting into the structure to fully extract the colony and comb. It's worth discussing the specifics of your situation upfront so you know what the job actually involves.
Is bee removal covered by homeowner's insurance?
Coverage varies widely depending on your policy and insurer, and bee removal is often categorized differently than traditional pest control. It's worth checking with your insurance provider before assuming the cost will be covered.
