About Bees in Tempe: Risks & Common Problems
Tempe’s sunny climate, lush landscaping, and backyard pools make it a hotspot for bee activity every spring and summer. Swarms often settle in neighborhoods like Maple-Ash, North Tempe, and Warner Ranch, building hives in walls, attics, sheds, and irrigation boxes.
Unattended bee colonies can cause costly structural damage as honey soaks into insulation and wiring. Africanized bees are common in Tempe and can pose a threat to families and pets. Swarms are often found gathering around pools and fountains, learn why bees love pools in Tempe ».
Most bee problems on private property are the homeowner’s responsibility. DIY removal is risky: agitated bees may attack, and incomplete removal leaves honeycomb that attracts new swarms or pests. Only a licensed specialist can guarantee safe, thorough, and humane removal.
Where Bees Nest in Tempe: Block Walls, Flood Irrigation and ASU Rentals
Tempe is landlocked and fully built out, which means its bee problems follow its housing stock, and that stock splits into three distinct eras.
The pre-1980 core. Maple-Ash, University Park, Broadmor and Hudson Manor sit on mature, flood-irrigated lots with sixty-year-old block walls. Open cells, missing mortar caps and alley-side weep gaps make these walls the single most common hive site we open in Tempe, and SRP flood irrigation keeps a water supply on the lot all summer. Original evaporative-cooler penetrations and wood fascia add roofline entries that newer homes simply do not have.
The ASU rental belt. North of Apache and around the Loop 202, high tenant turnover means colonies get noticed late. A hive that a homeowner would catch in week one can build comb for a full semester in a rental. We handle owner billing and coordinate access with property managers, which matters when the person who found the bees is not the person paying for the removal.
South Tempe. Warner Ranch, The Lakes and Corona-area neighborhoods are 1980s–90s tile-roof construction now hitting the age where mortar bird-stops fail, opening the half-round channels along the roof edge that swarms use to reach soffit voids. The Lakes adds year-round open water, which sustains colonies through the dry months.
Wherever the colony sits, the approach is the same: locate, extract the comb completely, and seal. Covered start to finish on our Phoenix bee removal and live bee relocation pages.

Prevention & Tips for Tempe Homeowners
Protecting your Tempe home from bee infestations starts with a few simple steps. While no property is immune, regular maintenance and early action can prevent most bee and wasp problems before they start:
Seal entry points: Inspect and seal cracks, vents, and eaves to keep bees out.
Monitor for activity: Watch for bees entering specific spots, a sign of a new hive.
Don’t disturb swarms: Swarms are often temporary. Don’t spray or block them.
Maintain landscaping: Trim back shrubs and trees to reduce bee hiding places.

Tempe Bee Removal FAQs
How much does bee removal cost in Tempe?
Standard bee removal in Tempe is priced by the hive location and how easily a technician can reach it. Structural jobs, a colony inside a block wall or under a tile roof, are quoted after inspection because access varies. Inspections are free, and we give you the real number before any work begins.
I rent near ASU, who is responsible for bee removal, me or my landlord?
In most Tempe rentals a bee colony is treated as a property maintenance issue, which makes it the owner’s responsibility. Notify your landlord or property manager in writing and send a photo taken from a safe distance. We work with Tempe property managers regularly and can bill the owner directly, and if bees are inside the living space, tell us when you call, because that changes it to a same-day dispatch.
Why do bees keep showing up in the block wall behind my house?
Tempe’s older neighborhoods, Maple-Ash, Broadmor, University Park, Hudson Manor, are ringed with open-cell block fences from the 1950s–70s. Missing mortar caps and weep gaps give swarms a ready-made cavity. Sealing the wall without removing the comb traps the colony and the honey, so extraction has to come first. See our guide to bees in block walls for what removal involves.
Does flood irrigation attract bees in Tempe?
Yes. The SRP flood-irrigated lots in older Tempe give colonies a dependable water source all summer, and irrigation valve boxes are one of the most common hive sites we open in the city. If your neighborhood floods every two weeks, check valve boxes and meter boxes before swarm season peaks.
How fast can you get to Tempe?
Our Mesa office is at 1320 E Broadway Rd, about ten minutes from most of Tempe, so same-day service is the norm and one-hour arrival is available for emergencies like bees inside a home or a defensive colony near children or pets.
Are Tempe bees Africanized?
Most wild colonies in the Valley carry Africanized genetics, so we treat every established Tempe colony as potentially defensive until proven otherwise. That is why we recommend against DIY on anything larger than a resting swarm, and why our technicians suit up even for “calm” hives.
