Honey Bees in Roof

Generally speaking honey bees don’t colonise large roof spaces, when they are flying in beneath tiles they more often than not are colonising a cavity wall or an old dismantled chimney stack that is hidden beneath the tiles. But they love dormer windows and flat roofs

WE Fully understand your Concerns about Both your property & Your well being

There’s usually no need for an expensive site survey, we have more than sufficient experience to be able to assess most situations without having to visit site prior to carrying out a bee removal. Unfortunately there is the odd situation when a bee survey is required.

The bees and honeycomb are extracted and relocated alive and safely without using insecticide or toxic chemicals.

on completion we proof and reinstate to prevent more bees reoccupying.

Guarantees are available but in our opinion there’s no need for an expensive guarantee linked to reoccupation of bees to a specific spot on your property. If you want one you can have one.

After speaking to a number of “experts” we finally came across SwarmCatcher. They removed the bees from a challenging spot which was 8 meters above the ground. They carried out the work without fuss and kept us involved, sharing their knowledge throughout the process. A great experience and good job done, thanks. Would thoroughly recommend them.

Two long-standing colonies of bees removed from our barn roof and walls along with buckets full of honeycomb. The Swarmcatcher team were friendly, knowledgeable and tidy. They even brought a press so we could have some honey.

I have gone in my shed this morning to tidy it and when I went to move a swarm of bees came out. I have been stung, I now have my shed door wide open box half falling out and a swarm of angry bees. These are most likely bumble bees but we would need images to confirm that.

A huge thank you to Beverly, who contacted me immediately I posted my concerns, that bees had returned and made home again in the outside wall of our home. I have a life long fear of bees, however after talking with her, she has reassured me they are not honey bees and best left as they are doing a wonderful job. Will adhere to her valued advice. Thank you so much again, a truly helpful website.

The guys turned up and worked non stop. They cleared the bees from the chimney and then proofed it so that it could breathe and they also opened up the bottom of the chimney and removed an unbelievable amount of dead bees . Now we know why that room had a musky smell and lots of moths.
