Bee and Bee Hive Removals
Australia has over 1500 species of native bees which typically don’t cause us a bother.
It is however the European Honey Bee that can cause issues.
Australia's early European settlers introduced Honey Bees to ensure a good supply of honey, and over time many escaped and established wild populations.
Honey bees have since established themselves as important pollinators of crops and some native plant species.
Honey bees arrive on mass. Often we receive calls from clients who return from the shops, or work to find a whole swarm of bees have arrived on their property. Honey Bees defend their nest aggressively, and whilst each bee can only sting once, when provoked, many bees may attack. Most Honey Bee stings cause intense local pain and swelling. However, if a victim is allergic to bee venom, a sting may cause more severe symptoms including difficulty breathing.
Bee Swarm Removals
When we receive calls to treat a bee swarm or remove a bee hive, our primary goal is to safely relocate the bees to a beekeeper rather than destroy them.
Honey bees play a crucial role in our ecosystem, and we believe in preserving their population whenever possible.
If you encounter a bee swarm at your property, it’s essential to refrain from spraying them with any substances, even water. Spraying can provoke the bees, making them aggressive and complicating the collection process, also, if sprayed with anything toxic, it will likely cause the bees to die, or even contaminate other bees if relocated.
Unfortunately, sometimes when feral honey bees take up residence in difficult places, such as wall cavities, removal isn't always possible. In these cases, we will assess the situation and provide the best course of action.
