Have you found a swarm of bees? I can collect the bees from your place in the greater Hobart area and the upper Derwent Valley. My bee collection services do not cost you anything! I'll catch the bees and take them to a new hive at my Apiary. The sooner you get in touch with me the better, as we should act quickly - preferably well before sunset.

What is a Swarm of Bees?

A bee swarm occurs when a colony becomes too large and splits, with a portion of the bees leaving to form a new hive. Swarms typically gather in large clusters on trees, buildings, or other structures while the scout bees search for a permanent home. Though swarming bees rarely sting unless provoked, it’s important to have a professional handle their relocation to ensure their safety and yours.

The Bee Removal Process

I use environmentally friendly, humane methods to safely remove bee swarms from your property. My goal is to save the bees!

  1. Assessment: When you contact me about a swarm, I’ll ask for details on the size of the swarm, its location, and how long it has been there. This helps me determine the best approach for collection.
  2. Safe Removal: I'm a trained professional and I will arrive promptly to assess the swarm and carefully remove it. I use specialised equipment and techniques to safely transfer the bees into a portable hive, ensuring they are not harmed during the process.
  3. Relocation: Once collected, the swarm is relocated to a new home, typically in a new hive at my Apiary in the Derwent Valley. This not only ensures the bees’ survival but also supports local agriculture and pollination efforts.

  3. Fast Response Time: Collecting a bee swarm can be stressful, which is why we offer fast, reliable service to remove swarms as quickly as possible.

Don't Remove a Swarm Yourself

While it may be tempting to handle a swarm on your own, removing bees without the proper training or equipment can be dangerous. Bees can become agitated if disturbed, and improper handling may result in stings or injuries. Additionally, using chemicals or sprays to remove the bees is harmful to the colony and the environment. My professional bee swarm removal service ensures that the bees are safely relocated without harm to you, your property, or the environment.
