In recent times the decline of the honey bee in the UK has been well documented and attributed to a combination of pesticides, parasites and a loss of habitat.

We have a lifetime of beekeeping experience and whatever your issue we will provide a safe and environmentally friendly solution. Unmanaged colonies on peoples property are now reasonably rare, however occasionally a swarm from a poorly managed hive or feral colony may find its way onto your property. We remove any such swarms or unwanted hives to add them to our own apiary.

A problem colony in a wall space or elsewhere will normally need to be removed in its entirety, which will usually involve structural work and the use of a 'bee vacuum' or occasionally a honey bee 'Trap Out' option may be required. We deal with honey bee colonies in chimney stacks, flat roofs, wall cavities and all manner of other locations and have successfully completed multiple extractions for a range of commercial and domestic clients.

Honey bee colonies should never be poisoned and left in situ without sealing entry points thoroughly, we will almost never recommend using pesticides against honey bees. This will only result in cross contamination of honey stocks and further pest issues.
