A swarm settling into a Troy eave or shed in spring is usually a honeybee colony that recently split from a larger hive and hasn't picked permanent quarters yet, a normal part of the species' cycle.
A reachable hive around Troy usually ends up with a local beekeeper instead of a pest crew, since regional agriculture leans on strong pollinator numbers and relocation keeps the colony alive.

Bumble bee nests are usually small and located in the ground, under decking, or in dense grass, and colonies typically die off naturally at the end of the season. An independent provider can locate the nest, confirm it's bumble bees rather than another species, and advise on the right approach for your situation.
Bee removal starts with locating the hive or nest and identifying the species, since the right approach depends on where bees have settled and how established the colony is. An independent provider can inspect the area and explain whether removal or live relocation makes sense for your situation.
Ground nests are usually treated or excavated directly at the entrance once located, which can be difficult to do safely without protective equipment and experience. An independent provider can locate the nest opening and handle removal appropriately for the species involved.
Pricing is set by the independent provider you're connected with, not by PestGuardians, and it varies based on your location, the hive's location and size, and whether removal or live relocation is involved. Call and ask your Troy provider directly for a real quote based on your situation.
