We have experience and knowledge to remove honey bees from all residential, commercial, and grade-listed properties. We are fully insured and trained to remove building fabric and replace or carry out reinstatement works with proofing. This prevents more bees from getting back in and making a new colony. We even guarantee it!

Honey Bees – Find Out More

These remarkable creatures are indispensable to our ecosystem, not only for their pollination work but also for their intricate social structures. A worker honey bee’s lifespan is about six weeks, during which she tirelessly collects nectar and pollen, maintains the hive, and supports the queen. The queen bee lays thousands of eggs daily during peak summer. She can live up to four years in the colony once she is diligently cared for, provided she emits a strong pheromone scent and lays eggs effectively.

In winter, the queen pauses egg-laying, and the colony keeps her warm and fed until spring when she resumes laying eggs. A typical winter colony is around 5,000 bees strong and relies on the stored supplies collected throughout the year.

Honey bees can build combs up to a meter deep each year, with a typical colony storing around 50 kilograms of honey. The combs have different sections for honey, nectar, pollen, and brood (baby bees).

Locating the Queen

During our bee removal services, locating the queen is critical, as her presence in a temporary hive box encourages the colony to follow. Once secured, she releases her scent, drawing the colony to her. This process allows us to transfer the bees to our apiary safely.

In peak summer, a colony can range from 30,000 to 60,000 bees, and we strive to save as many as possible. We sometimes collaborate with local beekeepers to minimise transit risks and ensure the bees are rehomed promptly. Our pest control company has performed honey bee removals nationwide, and local beekeepers are often eager to assist in the bees’ safety and continuity.

Occasionally, we extract over 100 kilograms of honey and comb from a single site. Instead of letting it go to waste, we offer this pure, live honey to the local community. This honey is vastly different from the synthetic versions commonly found in supermarkets.

If you’re based in any of the areas we cover, e.g. Bristol, Trowbridge, Melksham, Chippenham, or Bath, and are interested in some of this natural honey, please get in touch with us at BEEKIND™ to arrange a collection.

Bee Removal And Rehoming

FAQs

A bee’s nest can be active for years and years, with bees hibernating over winter, potentially causing significant structural damage over time from the weight of honey seeping into building fabric and beams. We do not recommend anyone who isn’t trained to remove any bumblebee or honeybee colonies, as it carries a huge risk of being damaged during removal and the colony not surviving. Also, the person removing the hive could be stung several times, which may be fatal.

It’s best to contact a specialist pest control company for this task. As experts in bee removal, BEEKIND™ can safely and efficiently remove bees from your property and rehome them to our apiary or a local beekeeper.

Production starts when flowers produce nectar. Honeybees store this nectar in their stomachs, where enzymes break down the sugars and increase acidity to prevent bacterial growth. The nectar becomes honey at 18% water content, which is then stored in wax chambers. 

It takes the entire lifetime of 12 bees to produce just one teaspoon of honey.

A female worker bee rarely stings, using it only as a last resort when cornered or if its nest is threatened. Male drone bees and the queen bee do not have stings. Worker honeybees’ pheromones can sense whether you’re calm or nervous, which may influence their behaviour.

Honeybees stop foraging when plants perish or temperatures drop too low for flight, relying instead on stored nectar and pollen to sustain the colony through winter. In spring, they eagerly resume their work, ensuring the colony’s survival and growth. 

Bees and wasps typically live for around 30 days in the summer, with bees living for around 3-4 months over the winter, varying depending on their role in the colony. In spring, the queen honeybee lays about 100 eggs daily, increasing to around 1500 to 2,000 during the height of summer, then decreasing back to 100 eggs by late autumn. This means the colony can range from 5000 to 60,000 bees in the hive at any time. Even in the winter!
