1. Identifying the Hive Location


  • Thermal Imaging Technology: We utilize advanced thermal imaging cameras to accurately detect the hive’s location within your structure. This non-invasive method allows us to pinpoint the exact position of the colony, ensuring minimal disruption to your property. This is a delicate, surgical procedure.


2. Gaining Access to the Hive


  • Strategic Planning: Based on the thermal imaging results, we develop a precise plan to access the hive. This involves determining the most effective and least invasive point of entry to reach the colony.



  • Careful Opening: We carefully open the identified section of the structure, ensuring that the integrity of your property is maintained. Our extensive experience in fine construction allows us to perform this step with precision and care.

3. Safe Bee and Comb Removal


  • Gentle Extraction: Using specialized tools, we gently remove the bees from the hive. Our priority is to keep the colony intact and unharmed during this process.



  • Comb Transfer: The honeycomb is meticulously cut and transferred into a man-made hive box. This step is crucial for preserving the bees’ habitat and facilitating their relocation.


    Visual Aid: Including photos or a short video of the comb transfer process can help clients visualize the care taken during removal.


4. Post-Removal Measures


  • Cleaning and Scent Neutralization: After the hive and bees are removed, we clean the area thoroughly and apply essential oils to neutralize residual scents. This discourages other bee colonies from being attracted to the site in the future.



  • Sealing Entry Points: All potential entry points are sealed to prevent re-infestation. This proactive measure ensures that bees cannot regain access to the structure.


5. Relocation and Rehabilitation


  • Safe Relocation: The removed bee colony is relocated to a safe apiary where they can continue their vital role in pollination and honey production.



  • Colony Rehabilitation: In their new environment, the bees are monitored and supported to ensure they adapt well and thrive.
