Non-destructive Bee Swarm Removal
non-destructive refers to the bee swarm, clipping a branch might occasionally be required.
Swarming usually occurs between September and December here in Victoria. We rescue, remove and relocate Swarms of European Honeybees, provided they are accessible and can be reached without high risk.
The sooner you report a swarm the better the chance of capturing it, before it enters into walls or other cavities, difficult to remove, costing you more money. When the swarm is in an accessible location, capturing it is fairly easy and in most cases takes less than an hour.
Bee Swarm Removal Service Charges
For my Bee Swarm Removal service I charge on a time and material basis, otherwise it would not be sustainable. In these charges I am considering the fact that I am getting the bees. Charges ranging from $30 to $100 - depending on complexity. In "easy and nearby" cases it can be less, or even free.
In most cases a swarm removal requires two visits. The first visit is to transfer the bees into a transportable beehive (a box), this requires bright daylight. After a "settling in period" of a few hours, the second visit is to collect the hive and relocate it, which is done after sunset or before sunrise the next morning, when all bees are in the hive.

When I'm unable to answer the phone
When I am dressed up in protective clothing and working with bees I'm unable to answer the phone. It seems that all bee swarms are occurring about the same time and when I'm working on one case I cannot answer the phone. In such a case please send me a text message, stating your location, the situation, how long the bees have been there, etc. with a photo of the swarm if possible.
If I have not returned your call within 30 minutes please contact someone else and assume I'm not available.
