Honey Bee Nest Removal in Sheffield
Honeybees in Sheffield (and throughout the UK) are classified as a species known as "domesticated animals". As such, a tailored approach is needed for dealing with honeybee nest clearance.
Return them to Local Beekeepers
Honeybees that have "set up shop" on your property can be owned by the neighbourhood beekeeper. It is not uncommon for some circumstances to result in honey bees "moving in" themselves. When this happens, we try to find an appropriate owner, with the best of intentions. In some cases, they are willing to come out and pick up and remove their bees and associated nests for you.
Relocate to a Safe Area
In other cases, where property owners cannot be found, or if feral honeybees are nesting on your property, our teams will arrange to have them safely "re-homed" to a place where they can flourish, away from human disturbance.
Insecticide as Last Resort
As a last resort, we will apply a residual insecticide treated specifically for honeybee populations. After applying insecticide treatments, we will either remove the honey bees nests and associated honeycombs, or we will seal off entrances, in order to prevent their return, and in order to prevent accidental foraging bees from carrying the insecticides back to other local nests.
What is the average cost for removing honey bees?
Sheffield bee removal from Apex, Sheffield-based pest control, UK.
The actual bee removal and honeybee nest removal costs will vary significantly depending on a number of factors that are unique to your specific situation.
A previous article that we wrote about the costs of pest control might be of interest.
Below, we outline a few variables that could significantly impact the price you pay for average honey bee removal services for your property, or for your home or business.
1. Type of Bee
• Honeybees
• Bumblebees
• Carpenter Bees
Each species of honeybee has their own unique characteristics, ranging from aggression, to the way that they nest, meaning each species requires a tailored approach tailored for that specific species of honeybee.
2. Problems / Issues Present
The specific problems caused by honeybees that are encroaching on your property might need a different strategy and work volume to correct. For instance, bees may also cause structural damage to your house or building if left for too long, which will need extra work to fix.
3. Hive Location and Reaction
The location and size of your beehive or nest is heavily affected by the types of bees that you are dealing with. Carpenter bees, for instance, are typically targeting outdoor wood structures like window frames, porches, and sheds. Bumblebees usually favour crawl spaces under the house and your backyard. While honeybees usually favour areas or structures exposed to them for building a hive, they are most commonly found inside walls, fireplaces, and attics.
The hives location greatly impacts the difficulty (or ease) of removing or eliminating honeybees from a property.
Similarly, enclosed, indoor spaces frequently lead to swarming and aggression when removed, thereby increasing the risk and the safety precautions to take. All of these things impact on cost.
3. Hive Location and Reaction
The strategy you decide upon will likely include varying amounts of labour and materials needed for the bees to be removed from your property effectively and safely, and in accordance with any local requirements or regulations.
For example, honeybees located within a domestic wall might require us to break through the wall in order to remove both the infestation and beehive. This will require extra labour and materials in order to re-build the walls back to pre-beehive condition.
Why You Need to Deal With Your Bee Problem Immediately
The bees are testament to the wonders of nature, helping to sustain a flourishing local ecosystem in Sheffield. However, when they nest in areas where they are not supposed to, they pose a major health hazard to humans and animals, and can cause significant damage to property.
