Please note we do not treat bees unless they pose a risk.

Bees perform a vital role in our life wheather its pollinating flowers, enabling us to enjoy fruits and vegtables and flowers for the following year.

All bees whether solitary or social feed on pollen and nectar and they rear their young on the same diet. In this respect they differ from almost all wasps.

Honey Bees

Honey bees, both feral and colonised, are important beneficial insects, not normally considered as pests. They live either in the wild or as colonies in hives kept by beekeepers. In either case they will only sting people if they are provoked.

Because of their beneficial role, every effort should be made to avoid carrying out control treatments against bees. Treatment with a pesticide should be considered only if they pose a risk.

If treatment is considered necessary, every reasonable action should be taken to prevent foraging honey bees from gaining access to the treated nest, by removing the combs or blocking the nest entrances.

The Treatment of honey bees is never an easy task as the bees like to colonise in high structures such as chimneys.

Bumble Bee 

There are 25 species of this type of bee in Britain and not all of them look the same. They form fairly small colonies of about a  few hundred individuals. The colony is headed by the queen bee who lays the eggs, while worker bees collect the pollen and nectar which keeps the colony supplied. They are very important pollinators for both farms and gardeners. Please remember that bumble bees will never attack if left alone. If you do want to have a bumble bee nest removed please contact your local bee keeper. Link is listed below.
