How do you remove bees from a water meter box? Do not open the lid or pour anything in; call us to remove the bees and comb live, clean the box and fit a screened lid so meter readers stay safe.

Why Bees Pick Meter Boxes

A buried meter box is dark, dry and protected with a small hole in the lid, which makes it one of the most common bee nest spots in San Diego County.

Who Handles It

Your local water department may handle bees in boxes on their side of the meter. We handle boxes on private property and can help when you are not sure who is responsible. [CONFIRM: local water department policy.]

Our Process

  • We open the lid carefully in protective gear.
  • Bees and comb are removed live whenever possible.
  • The box is cleaned of wax and honey.
  • A screened or bee proof lid cover is fitted.

How It Works

2

Live removal

We remove the bees alive whenever possible and relocate the colony to a local beekeeper.

Comb out

Every piece of honeycomb comes out so it cannot melt, stain or draw new bees.

Repair and seal

A licensed and insured contractor repairs the opening and seals the entry point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to read my meter with bees inside?

No. Keep the lid closed and keep people away until the bees are removed.

Will bees come back to the box?

They often do if the lid is not screened. Our bee proof cover helps prevent repeats.

How fast can you remove them?

Meter box jobs are usually quick. In season we often offer same day service when the schedule allows.
