Save the Bees With On Demand Tree Service

On Demand Tree Service cares about the bees that live in Florida's trees. As a St. Petersburg, FL tree service, we know tree removal and tree trimming can affect hives. This page explains why bees matter and what to do if you find one.

Why Bees Matter

Bees pollinate the flowers, fruit trees, and native plants that keep Pinellas County green. Protecting them protects our landscapes.

Spring and Summer Swarms

Bees are most active in warm months, and swarms can settle in trees near your home. A swarm usually moves on in a day or two, but a hive in a tree trunk will stay.

If you plan tree work and suspect bees, tell us when you call. We will plan around them.
