Professional Bee Nest Removal Services in the UK

Bees play a vital role in pollination and the ecosystem, but when they nest close to people, safety and comfort can be compromised. At Shire Pest Solutions, we specialise in safe and legal bee nest removal, ensuring the wellbeing of both the colony and your property.

Relocating Bee Nests Outdoors or Underground

If a bee nest is located outdoors or underground, it can often be safely relocated. In accessible locations like trees, bushes, or sheds, a local beekeeper or trained pest control expert can move the nest without harming the bees.

Beekeepers are equipped to handle bee colonies with care, preserving these vital pollinators while protecting your home or business.

When Honey Bees Become a Problem

If honey bees are settling in undesirable areas, quick action is key. Relocation is the most ethical and environmentally responsible option. Early intervention helps prevent them from moving into hard-to-reach areas such as cavity walls, chimneys, or roof spaces where removal becomes complex and costly.

High-Risk Areas and When Removal Is Necessary

Bee nests near entrances, high-traffic zones, or where children or vulnerable individuals are present can pose a serious risk. In such cases, removal may be necessary. If relocation isn’t an option, expert guidance is essential to assess the safest and most effective course of action.

Professional Assistance and Legal Considerations

Safe and lawful bee removal requires expert knowledge. We recommend contacting a professional pest control provider or local beekeeper to assess the nest and offer appropriate solutions. Improper handling can lead to legal issues and environmental harm.

Last Resort: Eradication and What to Consider

In rare situations where removal or relocation is not viable, eradication may be the only option. This step should only be taken by a qualified professional who can confirm it is safe to close all nest entrances after treatment. Blocking entrances is vital to prevent re-entry and cross-contamination.

At Shire Pest Solutions, we have the technical knowledge, licensing, and access to professional-grade insecticides to manage this process safely and responsibly.

Post-Treatment Requirements by Bee Type

• Bumblebees: Seal all access points to prevent non-target bees from becoming contaminated and to stop future nesting in the same area.
• Solitary/Masonry Bees: The only long-term solution is thorough re-pointing with sound mortar. Bees searching for new nesting sites will quickly find weak or missed spots.
• Honey Bees: All entry points must be blocked, and honeycomb removed wherever possible. If left behind, the honey can attract ‘robber bees,’ spreading contamination to other colonies.
