Swarm Removal – Free of charge service
Do not call an exterminator! Honeybees can be safely removed from your property alive, without the use of toxic chemicals.
Do not spray the cluster. Please let us know exactly where the bees are located, how high the cluster is, and whether it is easily accessible.
Contact us as soon as possible. Swarm removal is a free service.
Important!
This is what a bald-faced hornet nest looks like. We do not remove hornets or wasps. We specialize exclusively in honeybee swarm removal.
Please make sure that what you have are honeybees, not wasps or hornets.
If possible, take pictures of the bees and the site so we can assess the situation before arrival.
Honeybees are small and fuzzy, usually with golden-brown stripes. Yellow jackets are bright yellow with shiny bodies and very little hair.
Honeybee swarm boxes placement- Free of charge service
Have you had a problem with a feral honeybee colony on your property before? Removing a colony from inside walls or other structures can sometimes be expensive and stressful.
Even if you choose not to contact a beekeeper for a live removal and decide instead to call an exterminator or spray the colony yourself, the dead colony still has to be removed and all openings properly sealed. Otherwise, it may attract mice, cockroaches, and other vermin, and the comb and honey inside the walls can begin to rot.
Would you like to help prevent this problem in the future?
If you contact us, we can place a honeybee swarm box near the location previously occupied by the colony, free of charge.
When a swarm pays you an unwanted visit, it is more likely to move into the swarm box instead of settling on your porch or in a nearby tree. This provides both you and the bees with a better option, helping prevent a feral colony from establishing itself in an unwanted location.
Once the swarm box becomes occupied, we will relocate the colony to a new, safe home in our apiary.
HOST A HIVE
Serving London and the surrounding area.
If you have a vegetable garden free of pesticides and herbicides and would like to enjoy healthier plants and better harvests, but there is a lack of pollinators in your area, consider hosting a hive on your property.
Hosting a hive creates a mutually beneficial relationship for both your garden and our bees. Our bees can help pollinate your flowering trees, shrubs, strawberries, and garden vegetables such as beans, cucumbers, zucchini, and squash, helping your garden thrive naturally.
We will take care of the bees throughout the season. If the year is bountiful and the colony produces surplus honey, you will receive a jar of raw, unpasteurized honey as a thank-you. Please note that first-year colonies sometimes do not produce excess honey.
Please contact us for more details.
