Bee advice
Professional bee advice for homes, landlords and businesses, with clear advice and a quotation before any work starts.
Bees are vital pollinators and many species are in decline. Most bee nests are temporary and cause no harm if left alone, so we do not treat bees as pests.
We can visit to identify whether you have honey bees, bumblebees, solitary bees or in fact wasps, and advise on the best course of action.
Signs to look out for
- Bees entering a gap in brickwork, a bird box or the ground
- A swarm of honey bees settled on a tree or fence
- Bumblebees nesting under a shed or in a compost heap
How we deal with it
Identification
We confirm what you have, as many callers find it is actually wasps.
Advice
For honey bee swarms we will point you to a local beekeeper or swarm collector. Bumblebee and solitary bee nests usually die off naturally.
Exceptional cases
Where bees create a genuine risk to health and there is no alternative, we will discuss options honestly.
The British Beekeepers Association can help you find a local swarm collector for honey bees.
Questions about bee advice
Will you kill the bees?
We do not treat honey bees, and we only consider treatment for other bees in exceptional circumstances where there is a genuine risk and no other option.
