Bee Removal in Norwich and East Anglia
NOTICE
We would always encourage you to live with bees and while we are happy to re-locate swarms of honey bees outside the nest, please note that on ethical grounds Pest Professionals will not attempt eradication of honey bees under any circumstances. If you have a honey bee colony in an inaccessible place such as a chimney, we can put you in touch with a specialist relocation service who will discuss the options with you – just email enquiries@pestprofessionals.co.uk . We will also only ever consider eradication of bumble bees as an absolute last resort in rare situations such as where life can be demonstrated to be in danger or if important work cannot be completed without action being taken, and we will always look at relocation first.

Bee Friendly Pest Control
Bees form intricate social colonies with a solitary fertile queen and are an extremely valuable pollinator. As such our primary priority as pest controllers when bee’s nest removal is required is to keep the bee hive alive and intact.
The key is to find an experienced beekeeper who will take on the bee hive and look after it, and we can usually assist in this task.
Worker bees form the considerable bulk of the colony and their numbers can make it to over 30,000 in the height of the season. Some workers remain with the queen to tend her, nourish the larvae, produce honey, create new wax honeycombs for the larvae and secure the nest. More mature workers leave the nest in the search for sources of nectar and pollen. The queen may lay a million eggs in her lifetime.
Bees are normally not considereded pests and (unless provoked) will not attack you. The sting of worker bees is barbed and can not be retracted, and holds a poison sac which continues to pump venom.
A small minority of individuals are hyper allergic to this venom and if a hive is in close proximity to people, such as nearby to the house, or even in it (chimneys being a prime candidate), action may be needed to relocate it. This must only ever be attempted by an experienced pest controller or bee keeper, each of whom will wear special protective clothing.
Eradication is very much a last resort for a pest controller, and will be dependent on his ability to remove the honeycomb and/or seal the nest after the work is done. There is a significant danger of secondary poisoning if robber bees gain access to a previously poisoned nest and bring the insecticide back to their home colony.
How To Tell The Difference Between Bees and Wasps
Both bees and wasps are members of the Hymenoptera order of insects, but they can be easily distinguished from each other. Honey bees are normally dark brown, with a pale orange/amber band and, importantly, they are hairy. Wasps have bright yellow and black stripes and have a constricted waist and smooth skin.
