Bee Control

European Honeybees and Bumblebees were introduced for their superior crop pollination and honey production they live in large colonies some of which have become feral. If not in hives, honeybees can live in swarms that may settle temporarily in trees and even on buildings.

If you cannot find an dedicated apiarist to remove your bees then a Envirotechnics may be the alternative. However please note that we cannot remove bees from site.

If the bees occupy an existing hive and we have good access, the problem can be treated directly by eliminating the hive. This is best done early in the morning or late evening when the bees return from foraging. In some cases we recommend bee proofing to reduce the chance of reinfestation.

Swarms cannot be effectively treated and should be left alone until they move on or form a hive. If this is not possible (due to allergies or the public) then we can arrange a general treatment that will reduce the numbers of swarming bees.

All of our qualified technicians are fully equipped for dealing with your bee problem.

How can I help to control bees?

Quite frankly there is little or nothing you can do apart from seeking expert help. Honeybees normally only sting if disturbed or threatened so don’t go near the swarm. If the bees are not causing any trouble, leave them alone and one day the swarm will simply disappear and move on to a different location.
