Professional Bee Nest Advice, Relocation & Removal Services in the UK

Bees are essential pollinators and a huge benefit to gardens, crops, and local ecosystems. Most of the time, a nest can be left alone safely — but if bees are nesting in a high-risk area (near entrances, schools, public walkways, or inside a building), you may need professional support.

Relocation First, Whenever Possible

Relocating a colony is often the preferred option for outdoor or accessible nests (for example in bushes, trees, sheds, or ground-level areas). A local beekeeper or experienced pest professional can assess the nest and advise whether relocation is suitable.

When Removal Becomes Necessary

If a nest is located inside a structure (such as a cavity wall, roof space, chimney void, or awkward enclosed area), relocation may not be possible. In these situations, the priority becomes safety — especially where there is a risk of stings to children, vulnerable individuals, or the public.

What Happens After Removal

Prevention is just as important as removal. Blocking access points and addressing attractants reduces the chance of repeat nesting, and the right approach depends on the bee type.

• Bumblebees: sealing entry holes prevents re-entry and new nesting attempts.
• Solitary/Masonry bees: thorough re-pointing and mortar repair is the long-term solution.
• Honey bees: removing honeycomb where possible is important to avoid attracting other bees and pests.
