7 ways to remove bees

There are seven different ways to remove bees from buildings. The method you should use depends on whether they’re a swarm or if they’re an established colony within a building.

These are different. A swarm is known as a breakout from the hive. Several bees (50+) will leave an established colony on the honeycomb within a building. The swarm leaves the colony and flies into a bush or a tree and search for a place to establish a new colony.

Therefore, swarm removal is very different to removal from a building of an established colony removal. In a building void, you potentially could have two to three hundred kilograms of honey that has been in there for ten years.

Removing an established colony

The methods for removing a colony from a building are a trap out method, insecticidal treatment, smoking bees out, sealing the bees in or live bee and comb removal, often known as a cut-out.

Swarm removal

If you have a swarm, the best methods are using a bee vac or collecting the bees into a box.
