Bee Removal in South East England
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 complex social colonies with a solitary fertile queen and are an extremely important pollinator. As such our first priority as pest controllers when bee’s nest removal is required is to keep the bee hive alive and intact.
The key is to locate an experienced beekeeper who will receive the bee hive and maintain it, and we can usually assist in this task.
Worker bees form the considerable bulk of the colony and their numbers can reach 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 safeguard the nest. More mature workers go out from 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 thought of as pests and (unless provoked) will not attack you. The sting of worker bees is barbed and can not be retracted, and carries a poison sac which continues to pump venom.
A small minority of people are hyper allergic to this venom and if a hive is in close proximity to people, for instance, nearby to your house, or even in it (chimneys being a prime candidate), action may be needed to move it. This should only ever be undertaken by an experienced pest controller or bee keeper, each of whom will wear special protective clothing.
Eradication is very much a last option for a pest controller, and will depend on his ability to take out the honeycomb and/or seal the nest after the main task is completed. There is a significant risk of secondary poisoning if robber bees gain access to a previously poisoned nest and carry 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 readily distinguished from each other. Honey bees are usually dark brown, with a light orange/amber band and, notably, they are hairy. Wasps possess bright yellow and black stripes and have a constricted waist and smooth skin.
