Bee Removal Pricing
The cost of bee removal depends on several factors, including the location of the hive (such as a water meter, roof or wall), how long the bees have been established, and the area or suburb. Final bee removal pricing may vary following an on-site inspection.
Standard Access
Low-hanging trees, bushes, exterior structures, pool pump boxes, water meter boxes, tyres, etc.
Moderate Difficulty
Higher trees requiring a ladder, under roof eaves, small wall cavities, air bricks, single story roofs, etc.
High Difficulty
Locations necessitating a cherry picker or scaffolding, double story roofs or ceiling spaces, deep wall cavities, etc.
Bee Removal and Relocation
Bees in your roof, wall or garden? We provide bee removal and relocation for homeowners, businesses and body corporates across Gauteng. Our bee swarm removal service covers exposed clusters on branches, bushes and outdoor structures, while established colonies may require access to the space where they are nesting.
Bee removal from roofs can involve lifting tiles or opening ceiling spaces to reach the colony and accessible honeycomb. Bee removal from walls may require access through brickwork or panels, including where bees enter through air bricks. We assess the nesting site and explain the work and repair arrangements before starting.
We also remove colonies in chimneys, hollow trees, water meter boxes, pool pump boxes and electrical boxes. Our aim is to relocate the bees wherever possible. Tell us your suburb and where you’ve noticed the bees so we can assess the likely work involved.
How Bee Removal Works
1. Tell Us Where the Bees Are
Send us your suburb, where the bees are entering or gathering, and roughly how high they are above the ground. Let us know how long you have noticed them. A photo taken from a safe distance helps us assess the location and access.
2. We Assess Access and Pricing
We review the information you provide to determine what the removal is likely to require. A concealed colony or difficult access may need an on-site inspection before we can confirm the final price. We explain the scope of the quote, including any access requirements, specialist equipment and repair arrangements.
3. We Remove the Bees and Accessible Comb
Our beekeeper uses a removal method suited to the nesting location. For an established colony, we remove the bees and accessible comb, relocating the colony wherever possible. We explain where people and pets need to remain clear while the work is underway.
4. We Explain the Next Steps
After the removal, we explain any remaining bee activity and identify any access openings or repairs that still need attention. We also let you know when the area can be used again and whether further work or a follow-up visit is recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where Can You Remove Bees From?
We remove bees from wall cavities, roofs, ceilings, chimneys, roof eaves, trees, bushes, water meter boxes and pool pump boxes. We can assist with exposed swarms and established colonies in concealed spaces. The removal method depends on the location, height and access; an inspection may be needed to assess difficult-to-reach nests.
How Much Does Bee Removal Cost?
Standard-access removals start from R950, moderately difficult removals from R1,500, and high-difficulty removals from R2,200. The final price depends on the nesting location, height, access and work required. An on-site inspection may be needed to confirm the cost.
Can You Quote From a Photograph?
A photograph can help us assess the visible location and access, but it may not show the extent of a nest inside a roof or wall. Send it with your suburb, the approximate height and a description of the activity. We may still need to inspect the colony before confirming the price.
Can You Remove Bees Without Killing Them?
We specialise in live bee removal and aim to relocate the colony wherever possible. The method depends on where the bees are nesting and whether the colony can be reached.
Will You Need to Open My Roof or Wall?
Possibly. Reaching a concealed colony can require lifting roof tiles or opening part of a wall or ceiling. We assess the position of the nest and the available access to determine what the removal will involve.
How Long Does the Removal Take?
The time depends on how easily we can reach the colony and how much work is involved. An exposed swarm is generally quicker to remove than an established nest inside a building. Roof and wall removals can take several hours; we can estimate the time more accurately once we have assessed the location.
What Should I Do While Waiting for the Beekeeper?
Keep people and pets away from the bees. Avoid spraying, disturbing or attempting to remove them yourself. If the bees are near a doorway, path or shared area, alert others and use another route where possible.
Which Areas Do You Cover?
We provide bee removal across Gauteng, including Johannesburg, Randburg, Sandton, Roodepoort, Krugersdorp, Midrand, Centurion, Pretoria and the East Rand. Contact us with your suburb to confirm availability.
