Bee Removal &
Relocation Perth
Professional assessment for bee swarms, established colonies and hives around Perth properties.
Bees can gather temporarily as a swarm or establish a colony inside trees, eaves, roof spaces, walls and other sheltered areas. We assess the location, accessibility and activity before determining the most appropriate next step.
Every Bee Situation Is Different
Relocation depends on the colony, location, accessibility and circumstances at the property.
Bee Swarm or Established Hive?
A large group of bees does not always mean an established hive is present. Bees may temporarily gather as a swarm while looking for a suitable location, while an established colony may show regular activity entering and leaving the same sheltered area.
Bee Swarm
A swarm can appear as a large cluster of bees gathered together on a tree, fence, structure or another exposed surface.
Bees grouped together in a visible cluster
May appear suddenly
Often positioned on an exposed surface
May not yet have established a permanent hive
Established Hive
An established colony may be located inside a protected cavity or structure, with bees regularly travelling in and out through the same entry point.
Repeated bee traffic to the same location
Activity around walls, eaves, roofs or cavities
Bees may disappear into a concealed area
The colony may have become established inside the structure
Common Places Bees Build Hives
Established bee colonies usually favour protected locations. Around a property, this can include roof areas, walls, trees and other sheltered spaces where bees can enter and remain relatively undisturbed.
Protected roof areas can provide sheltered locations where bee activity becomes established.
Bees repeatedly entering the same opening in a wall can indicate activity inside a concealed cavity.
Small openings around structures may provide access into protected spaces where colonies can develop.
Trees can host temporary swarms or established colonies depending on the location and available shelter.
Other protected structures around the property may also provide suitable shelter for bee activity.
Understand the Bee Activity
We start by looking at what the bees are doing, whether they appear to be swarming temporarily or repeatedly entering an established location.
Check Location & Accessibility
The location of the bees can influence the available options. Roof spaces, walls, trees, eaves and other structures can present very different access conditions.
Determine the Suitable Approach
Once the situation is understood, the next step is chosen according to the colony, accessibility and conditions at the property. Relocation may be considered where practical and appropriate.
Carry Out the Agreed Service
The service is carried out according to the assessed bee activity and the approach considered suitable for the location and circumstances.
When Bee Relocation Is Possible
Bee relocation may be considered when the colony can be accessed safely and the circumstances make removal and relocation practical. The location of the bees, accessibility of the colony and the structure involved can all influence what options are available.
What Can Affect the Relocation Option?
A visible colony in an accessible location can present very different options from bees established deep inside a wall or roof cavity.
The ability to reach the bees and colony safely is an important part of determining whether relocation is practical.
Bees inside walls, roof spaces or other concealed areas may require a different approach depending on how the colony can be accessed.
The final approach depends on the bee activity, property conditions and what can reasonably be carried out at the location.
Bee Problems Around Homes, Rentals & Businesses
Bee activity can create different concerns depending on the property. A swarm in a residential garden, bees entering a rental roof space and activity around a commercial building may each require a different assessment.
Bee Removal for Perth Homes
Around homes, bees may gather in gardens, trees, eaves, roof spaces, walls or other sheltered parts of the property. The first step is understanding whether the activity is temporary or established.
Bee Problems at Rental Properties
We can assist when tenants or property managers report bee activity around a managed property. The location and accessibility of the bees are assessed before the suitable response is determined.
Bee Assessment for Perth Businesses
Bee activity near entrances, building edges, outdoor work areas or other commercial spaces may need assessment, particularly where staff, customers or contractors regularly use the affected area.
What to Do If You Find a Bee Swarm or Hive
If you discover a swarm or established bee colony, avoid disturbing the bees or attempting to access the hive yourself. A few simple precautions can help reduce unnecessary disturbance while the situation is being assessed.
What You Should Do
Avoid standing directly beside the swarm, hive or entry point and keep unnecessary activity away from the area.
Prevent children and pets from approaching, touching or disturbing the affected area.
Note whether the bees are clustered together or repeatedly entering the same opening in the structure.
Location, approximate height and whether the bees appear exposed or concealed can help with the initial assessment.
What You Should Not Do
Avoid knocking, shaking, cutting or otherwise disturbing the area where the bees are located.
Avoid trying to physically remove a swarm or access an established colony without suitable experience and equipment.
Sealing an opening while bees are actively using it can create additional problems and may redirect activity elsewhere.
Avoid opening cavities or concealed spaces where an established colony may be present.
We can assess whether the activity appears to be a temporary swarm or an established hive and consider the suitable options for the location.
01 How do I know if I have a bee swarm or an established hive? +
A swarm often appears as a visible cluster of bees gathered together temporarily. An established hive may show regular bee traffic entering and leaving the same opening in a wall, roof, tree or other sheltered area.
02 Can every bee colony be relocated? +
No. Relocation depends on the location of the colony, accessibility, surrounding structure and the circumstances at the property. The suitable approach can only be determined after the situation is assessed.
03 Where do bees commonly build hives around properties? +
Bees may establish colonies in roof spaces, eaves, wall cavities, trees, sheltered openings and other protected areas around buildings and gardens.
04 Should I block the hole the bees are using? +
Avoid sealing an active entry point before the bee situation has been assessed. Blocking an opening while bees are still using it may create additional problems or redirect activity elsewhere.
05 Can I remove a bee swarm myself? +
It is best to avoid disturbing or attempting to handle a swarm or established colony yourself. Keep people and pets away from the area and arrange an assessment.
06 What information should I provide when booking? +
Tell us where the bees are located, approximately how high the area is, how long the activity has been present and whether the bees appear to be entering a wall, roof, tree or another structure.
07 Do you help with bees at rental properties? +
Yes. Bee assessment can be arranged for tenants, owners and property managers when bee activity is reported at a rental or managed property.
08 Do you provide bee services for businesses? +
Yes. Bee activity around suitable commercial and business properties can be assessed, including activity around building exteriors, entrances, roofs and structural openings.
09 How much does bee removal cost in Perth? +
Pricing can depend on the bee activity, location, accessibility, height and service required. Contact us with details of where the bees are located so the situation can be discussed.
10 What areas of Perth do you service? +
