Jarrow Bee Removal

There are a number of different kinds of bees. Hardly any bees in the United Kingdom are dangerous, however some can create a nuisance if they nest close to doorways or windows. While bees are not protected, they are endangered. Bees are a essential part of the local ecosystem and so should not be moved or eradicated unless it is completely necessary.

Bees seldom present a serious threat. However, they can swarm or nest and this behaviour can be disruptive, particularly if they nest in a roof or wall cavity. The best course of action is usually to simply leave the nest alone, as bees do not have an extended life cycle. At the point where nests are the most obvious, it is generally because the bees are getting prepared to move on.

If you have a swarm or nest of bees that you need to get moved, it’s best to contact a beekeeper who’ll be able to come and safely collect the bees. They may take them off to their own site, or be able to relocate the nest to a local area that is less disruptive. The British Beekeepers Association are a charitable organisation that establish standards for certified beekeepers.
