Swarm Collection & Bee Removal

Humane collection of swarms and removal of established colonies.

A swarm of bees in your garden looks alarming, but swarming bees are usually calm. We collect them safely and rehome them in a managed hive. No extermination.

If bees have moved into a wall, roof, chimney or tree, that's an established colony and needs a different approach. We remove the comb and bees, then proof the cavity so they don't come back.
