Bee Nest Extraction

Professional Honeybee Nest Removal in Newcastle, Durham, and Sunderland

Honeybee nests can pose a significant challenge when they are located in places that are inconvenient, dangerous, or damaging to property. While honeybees play a crucial role in the environment, there are circumstances where nest extraction becomes necessary. In these cases, it is vital to work with professionals who can safely remove the bees and rehome them whenever possible.

When Honeybee Nest Extraction Is Necessary

We only recommend removing a honeybee nest if it is:

Where possible, our technicians will collect the honeybees from the nest and relocate them to a local beekeeper. If the nest is too difficult to reach, treatment with insecticide may be required, though this is always a last resort.

The Importance of Early Honeybee Nest Removal

The sooner a nest is removed, the better:

• Smaller nests mean fewer bees to relocate and less honey or debris to clean up.
• Early removal causes less structural damage to your property, as smaller nests require less disruption.

Signs of a Honeybee Nest in Your Property

If you suspect a honeybee nest on your property, look for these signs:

• Loud buzzing sounds, often from large colonies.
• High bee activity around a specific area, such as a roof, chimney, or hole in a wall.
• Honey stains on paintwork or ceilings, indicating honey seeping through from a nest.

If you’re experiencing any of these signs, professional honeybee nest removal is recommended.

Why Choose Professional Honeybee Nest Removal?

Honeybee nests can be located in hard-to-reach places such as chimneys, wall cavities, or roof spaces, making them challenging to remove. A professional technician is essential because:

• Bee stings can pose a risk if the bees perceive a threat to their nest.
• The extraction process can be complex and must be done carefully to avoid harming the bees.

How Our Honeybee Nest Removal Process Works

Aftercare Following Honeybee Nest Extraction in Newcastle, Durham, and Sunderland

If a honeybee nest is removed from a chimney, it’s essential to prevent future infestations:

• Our technician will install a chimney cap to stop bees and other pests from re-entering. If the chimney is used for venting a gas appliance, we’ll install bee mesh instead.
• We’ll check for and seal any cracks in the masonry or roofing to prevent further access.
• The chimney must be swept to remove any remaining beeswax or debris, as these are flammable and can attract more insects.
