Following on from our recent blog about why April to August is the best time for honey bee extraction and relocation, Helliar Pest Control recently completed another safe honey bee removal and relocation in Bayford, near Wincanton.
Honey Bee Colony Safely Removed in Somerset
The colony had been established inside a chimney for around three years. The property was undergoing renovation work, and the builders needed the bees safely relocated before work could continue.
Our team carefully dismantled the chimney, extracted the honeycomb and safely re-homed the bees to a new location. This allowed the renovation work to move forward while giving the colony the best possible chance of survival.
Why Professional Honey Bee Extraction Matters
Honey bee extractions like this require experience, planning and the right approach. Colonies inside chimneys, roof spaces and wall cavities can be more complex than they first appear, especially when they have been established for several years.
It is also important that the honeycomb is removed where possible. If comb, wax or honey is left behind inside a chimney, roof space or wall cavity, it can attract further insect activity and may encourage bees to return to the same area in the future. Proper extraction helps reduce the risk of the problem coming back and leaves the property safer for ongoing use.
This is why early advice is always recommended if you notice honey bees entering a chimney, roofline, wall or building structure.
