Hi…we’ve saved and relocated over 1,0000 established bee hives across Melbourne, and we’re *not* Pest Control.
For over a decade, as registered & insured beekeepers with a deep passion for bees, we’ve safely removed & relocated over 1,000 bee hives across Melbourne, and are preferred bee removers for Parks Victoria, Dept of Education, Dept of Defense, MetroTrains, and Melbourne, Nillumbik, Moonee Valley, Darebin and Manningham Councils, Real estate agents and Body Corporates.
If you dont remove the hive properly, it can grow up to the size of a large fridge during a strong season, with between 10 to 100kg of honey in your wall plus up to 60,000 bees. If you use nasty chemicals to poison, the poison wears off quickly, and pest control dont remove the hive from the inside of your home or premises. The issue is that the remaining honey and hive are a perfect home for a new bee colony to occupy, again and again. This assumes that honey isnt running down the wall into the floor or carpet on a hot day. Have a quick look at these pictures.
Most importantly our bee rescuers provide detailed advice to ensure that it doesn’t reoccur in the same location! And we’ll discuss options and pros/cons of those options with you on site before commencing the job.
We can even remove and rescue bees from inside trees, and inside houses: walls, floors and chimneys. Or you can keep the hive at your place if you want to become a beekeeper!
Bees can be relocated from homes, sheds, factories, schools, compost bins, telstra and sprinkler pits, cubby houses etc, and you can keep some of the honey comb. We charge a fee that similar to pest control – without the use of nasty chemicals. Bee hives removed from across Melbourne and Victoria are relocated to our farm in the green wedge for quarantine.
Swarming is the natural reproduction cycle for bees, and swarms especially if exposed to weather, will almost always leave the location they’ve settled in with a week to a fortnight, usually on the very next warm day…and they generally are very passive until they’ve settled into their permanent home. Our bee rescuers don’t remove swarms because they’ll take odd naturally, and swarms are therefore a cost free service!
Contact us asap if you have an established hive in your home, building or tree etc across Melbourne and Victoria.
