We are experienced swarm removal specialists using highly specialised equipment that enable us to removal swarms quickly. We support a number of metropolitan councils and assist removal of honey bee swarms. We practice holding public liability insurance. We re-home disease free bees in bee hives in Adelaide Hills apiaries.

Most of our swarm and hive removal work is from electrical boxes, water pits, trees (that can accessed below 4 metres) carports and cupboards, possum and bird boxes. We do not conduct building demolitions to remove bees from chimneys or building wall interiors as an appropriate Builders Licence is required to conduct these removals. We are not certified to exterminate bees and recommend contacting exterminators where swarm/hive recovery is not possible. Land or property owners permission is required for us to conduct bee removal from any property. All removals include removal of bees, honey, wax, propolis and any other bee material as per legislative requirements.
