How We Fix Your Honey Bee Problem
When it comes to honey bees, it’s always best to call in a professional. We use the correct protective clothing and specialist equipment to safely deal with honey bee colonies and, wherever possible, remove and relocate them without harm. Our technicians understand bee behaviour and have access to professional-grade treatments and methods that are not available to the general public, helping to resolve the problem safely, effectively and responsibly.
What’s Included:
1. Contact & Quick Assessment
Tell us where the bees are and what you’re noticing (photos are really useful). We’ll ask a few quick questions to confirm they’re honey bees, assess any immediate risk (especially around children, pets or access routes) and explain your options. You’ll get clear pricing upfront and, if suitable, we’ll arrange a prompt visit – often the same day.
2. On Site Survey
Your technician will carefully inspect the area – checking eaves, lofts, wall voids, chimneys, soffits and garden structures – to confirm honey bee activity, locate the colony and assess access. We’ll discuss whether safe removal and relocation is possible, explain any limitations and agree a plan and costs before any work begins.
3. Treat & Protect
Wherever we can, we carry out a live removal, working to safely extract and relocate the honey bee colony. If relocation truly isn’t possible and the bees pose a significant risk, we may use specialist professional treatments in a controlled, responsible way. We’ll then advise on sealing entry points, future-proofing and any follow-up needed to reduce the chance of bees returning.

“Contact Deane when I noticed a wasp nest in my gutter above my front door, he answer straight away and even offered me an appointment that afternoon. I ask if he could come the next morning and that wasn’t an issue, he is professional, polite and was really knowledgeable. He took the time to explain why they nested there, and the wasp life process and how he would get rid of them. He even text the next day to see if I saw an activity and had said he would come back free of charge if they were not all gone. Great, speedy service and would highly recommend. Lovely to find a company that are willing and happy to help.”

How to Identify a Honey Bee Nest or Swarm
Honey bee issues are usually spotted by their activity and movement rather than visible damage. Signs to look out for include:
Constant bee traffic: a steady stream of bees flying in and out of one spot (eaves, roof tiles, gaps in brickwork, air vents, soffits or chimneys).
Hanging cluster of bees: a tight ball or cluster of bees on a tree branch, fence, hedge, shed, or even a vehicle – this is often a swarm resting while they search for a new home.
Buzzing in walls or lofts: a persistent buzzing or humming sound from inside a wall void, ceiling, chimney breast or loft space, especially on warm days.
Wax, staining or honey smell: signs of comb or wax, dark staining on ceilings or walls, or a sweet, honey-like odour if the nest has been in place for some time.
High activity on warm, calm days: bees repeatedly circling or focusing on the same area of your property, particularly around rooflines, chimneys or cavity walls.
If you notice any of these signs, don’t block the entrance or spray the bees – this can push them deeper into the building and make removal harder. Get professional advice so the colony can be dealt with safely and, where possible, relocated.

Honey bees are smaller and furrier than wasps, with a more golden-brown colour and less defined black stripes. Wasps tend to be brighter yellow with a smooth, shiny body. Honey bees are often seen flying in and out of a single entry point (like a gap in brickwork or roof tiles), while wasps usually build paper-like nests and can appear more aggressive around food and drink.
Wherever it is practical and safe, the priority is to remove and relocate the colony rather than destroy it. In many situations, we can work with beekeepers or use specialist techniques to move the bees on. If a colony is in an inaccessible or high-risk area and relocation genuinely is not possible, we may need to use professional treatments – but this is always a last resort.
No, DIY honey bee removal is not recommended. Disturbing a colony without the right protective gear and methods can trigger defensive behaviour and multiple stings, especially dangerous for children, pets or anyone with allergies. Over-the-counter sprays are not designed for established colonies and can drive bees deeper into the structure, making professional removal harder and more expensive later.
Yes, a long-term colony inside a wall, roof or chimney can create problems. Wax comb and stored honey can melt or leak in hot weather, staining ceilings and walls and attracting other pests. If the bees die out or move on naturally, the abandoned comb can still cause smells, staining and secondary infestations. That’s why proper removal and, where needed, cleaning and proofing are strongly recommended.
