Having problems with bees?
Bees don’t cause any problems unless they are in your home, as the honey can damage your property over time. You are not in danger of being stung if they are left alone and unprovoked.
Therefore, if at all possible, always leave a bee swarm alone to thrive, as their presence is actually beneficial for gardeners and their crops. if your unsure of the type of bee please contact us
Additional Information
If a bee nest is outdoors or underground, it can usually be relocated safely. In accessible spots like bushes, trees, or sheds, a local beekeeper or pest controller can move the nest. Beekeepers know how to relocate bees without harm, protecting both the colony and your property.
If honey bees are causing problems, professional collection is the best option. Honey bees are crucial pollinators, so preserving them is important. Acting quickly prevents them from settling in hard-to-reach areas like walls or roof spaces, where removal becomes difficult.
If a nest is in a high-risk area, such as near entrances or busy spaces, removal should be the first step. When relocation isn’t possible due to safety concerns, expert advice is essential. A specialist will assess the situation and suggest the best solution.
For safe and legal bee nest removal, contact a beekeeper or pest control expert. Their knowledge ensures the process is handled correctly.
Remedy:
Last Resort Eradication – The decision to treat will depend on if it is possible to close the entrance(s) to the nest after treatment. In this circumstance, make sure you use a trained professional.
We strongly recommend you contact us at Shire Pest Solutions, as we are fully trained professionals and have the technical knowledge and access to a range of professional-use insecticides.
For solitary/masonry bees, in the long term, re-pointing with sound mortar is the only answer. However, this must be done thoroughly as bees hunting for a nest site will soon locate areas that have been missed.
For honey bees, it is essential that entrance points are blocked off, and if possible, remove all the honeycomb.
Failure to do this will cause robber bees to find the infected honey and take it back to their hive, thus contaminating it.
