Professional bee removal services that you can rely on.
Insects are a critical part of our ecology, from pollinating vegetable-producing plants that we enjoy eating, to blooming during the summer. Not to mention, they make a tasty, all-purpose honey.
Despite the utility, honeybees do not belong inside your house, your business, and they are not an annoying presence in your yard. In fact, stings from bees and wasps can be quite dangerous, even deadly, in some cases.
If you suspect that there is a bee infestation at your Sheffield home or property, give the Apex Pest Control team a call today and discover why so many Sheffield residents entrust us with all of their pest control and bee removal issues.

Honey Bee Nest Removal in Sheffield
Honeybees in Sheffield (and throughout the UK) are classified as a so-called "domesticated animal". As such, a tailored approach is required in dealing with honey bee nest clearance.
Return them to Local Beekeepers
Honey bees that have "set up shop" on your property might be owned by the local area beekeeper. It is not uncommon for some circumstances to result in the bees moving "in" themselves. When this happens, we will do our best in good faith to locate the proper owners. In some cases, they are willing to come out and pick up and remove their honeybees and related honeybee nests for you.
Relocate to a Safe Area
In other cases, when an owner cannot be found, or where feral honey bees were nested on your property, our crews will make arrangements to safely "re-home" honey bee nests in a location where they can flourish, away from human disturbance.
Insecticide Treatments (last resort)
As a last resort, we will apply residual insecticide treatments approved for honey bee populations. After the insecticide treatments, we will either remove the honey bees nests and associated honeycombs, or seal off entrances, in order to prevent them from re-entering, and in order to stop accidental foraging bees from carrying the insecticides back to other local nests.
What is the Average Cost to Remove Honeybees?
Sheffield Bee Removal from Sheffield-based pest control company Apex, UK.
The actual cost of bee removal and honeybee nest removal will vary significantly depending on a number of factors that are unique to your unique situation. A previous article we wrote about pest control costs might interest you.
Below, we detailed a few variables that may significantly affect the average price for removing honeybees from your property, or in your home or business.
1. Type of Bee
• Honeybees
• Bumblebees
• Carpenter Bees
Each species of bee has their own unique characteristics, ranging from aggression, to how they nest, meaning each species requires a tailored approach tailored for that specific species of bee.
2. Problems / Issues Present
The specific problems caused by the infestation of your honeybees might need a different strategy and work volume to correct the situation. For instance, bees may also be structurally damaging your house or building if left for too long, which will require extra work to fix.
3. Hive Location and Reaction
The location and size of a beehive or nest is heavily influenced by the species of bees that you are dealing with. Carpenter bees, for instance, are typically targeting outdoor wood structures like window frames, porches, and sheds. Bumblebees usually like the crawl spaces under your house and around your yard. While honeybees generally favour areas or structures that are open for them to construct a hive, they are most commonly found inside walls, fireplaces, and attics.
The hives location greatly determines how difficult (or easy) it can be to remove or eradicate bees from a property.
Similarly, confined, indoor spaces frequently lead to swarming and aggression when removed, thereby increasing the risks and safety precautions to take. All of this has an effect on cost.
4. Labour, Materials and Repair Costs
The strategy you adopt can include varying amounts of labour and materials needed for the bees to be effectively and safely removed from your property, and complying with any local requirements or regulations.
For instance, honeybees located within the inside walls might require us to break the walls to remove the infestation and the beehive. This would involve extra labour and materials to restore the wall back to its previous condition after the bees were removed.
Why You Need to Deal with your Bee Situation Immediately
The bees are testament to the wonders of nature, helping to keep our local Sheffield ecosystem flourishing. However, when they make their home in areas where they are not supposed to, they pose serious health risks for humans and animals, and may also cause significant property damage.
