Why is bee removal so expensive?

In this video, we will explain why bee removal is so expensive, and what costs can occur during a bee removal job.

We will also answer common questions like …

What other expenses are there to a bee removal job?
where can cost occur with a bee removal?

Bee removal can be expensive because of the amount of work that goes into doing this type of job.

We prepare the hives before we come to the site. There is also a great deal of forward-planning that is done before we get to the site. Insurance, which is quite costly, is needed to carry out this type of work. Bee removal is also a skill that can only be learned by experience and not through college or university. We have over 14 years of experience behind us in not only the live bee removal but also in building fabric removal and reinstatement. We also organise working at height equipment such as cherry pickers and scaffolding.

In summary, it is not only the bee removal we are quoting for but also the preparation beforehand, access equipment, building fabric removal and reinstatement work, asbestos survey if required, bee-proofing, and clean-up of site and tools afterwards. We also carry out a quality check after the work has been done. Finally, we rehome and care for the bees after they have been removed.
