Who is responsible for bee removal?

In this video, we will explain who is responsible for bee removal for both residential and commercial properties.

We will also answer common questions like…
Is it the landowner responsible for the bee removal?
Is my landlord responsible to remove the bees?
Who is responsible to remove bees from offices?

If you are reading this or have watched the video, unfortunately, it’s probably going to be you or at least you’ll have some influence in the process.

You might be a tenant experiencing a problem with a bee issue in the chimney, roof or wall and they may even be coming into your house.

The straight answer to the question is, if the bees are on a landowners property, then it is the responsibility of the landowner to sort them out. If you are the property owner, then it is your responsibility, but if you are a tenant, your landlord is responsible, but please double-check your rental agreement and what is included.

If you’re an employer and have bees on your building and own the building, it would be your responsibility. Under UK employment law, you will need to sort out the issue because bees sting and obviously for the health and safety of your employees it’s going to be important to get the bee issue resolved.
