We love our bees and appreciate their amazing gift to us humans. They are the only insect on earth to produce edible food for human consumption. Moreover, they assist in the pollination of many fruits and vegetables, keeping food on our tables.
We relocate bees as quickly and efficiently as possible, in an attempt to maintain the integrity of the bee colony, with the least amount of danger to the humans & animals in the vicinity.
Detecting hive's with ease
We make use of the state of the art technology when carrying out the assessment, such as making use of a FLIR infrared camera and endoscopy.
Emergency call outs for bee removal and bee relocation available 24/7
The African Honey Bee, Apis Mellifera Scutellata, is a sub species of the Western honey bee and is found in Central and Southern Africa. It is an aggressive species of honeybee & will defend its nest 30 to 40 meters away by actively stinging intruders. When the bees feel their nest is being threatened they may attack and can number anything from a few dozen to hundreds.
It is also common for the bees to invade urban areas which are close to water and plant life. They will nest in any cavity that is suitable and usually where there is a lack of human activity. Such spaces may include pool filter covers, airbricks, owl houses, bird logs, water features, garden bridges etc.
Africanized honey bees and European honey bees may be similar in appearance, but not in behavior. Africanized honey bees will attack when provoked, and they respond rapidly and in large numbers to disturbances that European honey bees would ignore.
Like European honey bees, Africanized honey bees can sting only once; they deliver a venom identical to that of European honey bees.
Both types of bee die shortly after leaving their stings and ends of their abdomen in their victim.
How We Relocate And Remove Bee Hive's
Wherever possible, we try to remove the entire swarm of bees, without harming them. In most cases, our bee relocations are carried out at dawn or just after dusk when our bees are settled down & in the hive. We try to maintain the integrity of the family of bees by performing the relocation at these times, although not all relocations are possible at these times. In most instances it is not possible to relocate the bees during inclement weather. If it's raining, the booking would most probably be rescheduled.
