Our team regularly carries out live bee removals from a wide range of locations including:

Structural Locations

Why Professional Bee Removal Is Important

Attempting to block entrances or spray chemicals rarely solves the problem and can create additional issues such as:

• Honey leaking through walls or ceilings

• Dead bees inside cavities causing odours

• Colony relocation to another part of the building

• Structural damage

Our professional removals focus on complete colony extraction, ensuring:

• The queen and colony are safely relocated

• Honeycomb is removed where necessary

• Entry points are identified to prevent re-infestation

Specialist Equipment We Use

To accurately locate and remove bee colonies, we use professional equipment including:

• Thermal imaging cameras to detect heat signatures from bee clusters

• Bee vacuums designed for safe live collection

• Endoscopic inspection cameras for cavity exploration

• Protective beekeeping equipment

• Structural access tools where necessary

This allows us to pinpoint the colony location with minimal damage to the building.

Ethical Bee Relocation

At Uncle Bee, we prioritise saving and relocating honey bees whenever possible. Removed colonies are transferred to our managed apiaries from Buckinghamshire where they can continue to thrive and contribute to pollination.

Honey bees play a critical role in the environment, and our mission is to protect both the bees and your property.

Book a Bee Survey

If you suspect bees have moved into your property, the best step is to arrange a professional survey.

During the inspection we will:

1. Locate the colony

2. Assess building access

3. Identify the safest removal method

4. Provide a full breakdown quote

Survey Fee: £80 (deducted from the job if you proceed).
