Bee swarms are common across Ipswich in spring, when colonies split and a large cluster of bees settles on a branch, fence, eave or letterbox while scouts look for a new home. Sometimes they move on within a day or two. Other times they move into a wall cavity, roof space, electricity box or hollow tree and start building a hive.
A hive in a wall or roof is a bigger job. The bees build honeycomb, and if the colony is left in place it can grow over months. Honey and wax left behind can also attract other insects and stain walls. We take your call, ask where the bees are and how long they have been there, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby crew.
- Checking where the swarm or hive sits and how big it is
- Explaining the options before any work starts
- Removing the bees from walls, roofs, trees or boxes
- Removing comb from reachable cavities where possible
- Sealing the gap so a new swarm is less likely to move in
The crew we book looks at the site first, including how close the bees are to doors, play areas and neighbours, and whether the hive is inside a structure. They talk you through the options for your situation before anything is done. Please do not spray a swarm or block the entrance yourself, as it can make the bees defensive and harder to deal with.
For bee removal in Ipswich, call 07 3543 7767. Tell us where the bees are and roughly how many you can see, and we will give you the price and a time, often same-day or next-day where the run allows.
