Honey bees swarm on the Gold Coast mostly in spring and early summer, when a colony splits and a large cluster of bees settles on a branch, fence or wall while scouts look for a new home. If they move into a wall cavity, roof space, electricity box or compost bin, they can build a hive that grows over time.
Bees are different from wasps and are handled differently. When you call, we ask whether it is a swarm hanging in the open or a hive inside a structure, how long it has been there and how high up it is. We then book a nearby independent crew and give you upfront pricing. The crew will talk you through the options on the day. A bee visit can include:
- A look at the swarm or hive and where the bees are coming and going
- Removal of swarms from branches, fences and outdoor areas where possible
- Dealing with hives inside walls, roofs and electricity boxes
- Advice on sealing gaps so bees do not move back in
- Advice on removing old comb and honey that can draw bees back
Please keep people and pets away from the bees and do not spray them, block the entry or try to move them yourself. A swarm in the open often moves on within a day or two, but a hive inside a wall or roof needs attention before it grows. If someone has been stung and it is urgent, call 000, or see a doctor.
