Bee removal in Werribee: what happens

Bee removal in Werribee depends on whether you have a swarm or a hive. A bee swarm hanging on a branch or fence is treated and cleared the same day. An established hive in a wall, a roof or a chimney is treated, then the comb and honey are cut out so nothing is left to rot or draw new bees, and the cavity is sealed. We are a pest control business, so the colony is treated rather than kept. The price is fixed before we travel. See our bee removal service, or call 0436 389 114.

Why here

Why Werribee gets bee swarms every spring

Werribee in the City of Wyndham sits on the Werribee River, with river red gums along the banks, the gardens around Werribee Park, and the market gardens of Werribee South close by. All of that gives honey bees plenty to feed on, and the bee colonies in the area grow strongly through late winter.

In spring, roughly September to November, strong colonies split. Half the bees leave with the old queen as a bee swarm and hang in a cluster on a branch, a fence, a letterbox or an outdoor chair while scouts look for a new home. That is the moment most Werribee owners call.

If nobody deals with the swarm, the scouts find a cavity: a gap in a brick wall, a roof space, an unused chimney in one of the older homes near the town centre, a meter box or a compost bin. Within days the bees are building comb, and a swarm has become a hive that is much harder to shift.

  • Werribee River red gums and gardens
  • Market gardens in Werribee South
  • Older homes with brick chimneys and wall cavities
  • Spring swarm season, September to November

Swarm or hive

Bee swarm or bee hive: how to tell

Swarms and hives look different and need different work. Here is how to tell them apart from a safe distance.

A bee swarm

A hanging ball of bees on a branch, fence or post, often the size of a football. It appears suddenly and has no comb.

An established hive

Bees flying in and out of a gap in a wall, a roof, a chimney or a meter box, all day, in a steady stream.

Bees in wall cavities

Bees in wall spaces often show as a gap in the mortar or a weep hole with constant traffic, and sometimes a humming you can hear inside.

Bees in roof spaces

Bees in roof spaces use a gap under tiles or at the eaves. You may see wax or honey staining on the ceiling in bad cases.

Bees in chimneys

Bees in chimney flues are common in older Werribee homes with fireplaces that are no longer used.

What to do now

Keep children and pets away, do not spray or hose the bees, and do not block the entry. Then call.

The method

Bee swarm removal and bee hive removal, explained

Bee swarm removal is the simpler job. The swarm has no comb, so once it is treated and cleared, there is nothing left behind. The sooner it is done, the less chance the swarm moves into your walls.

Bee hive removal is structural work. A hive that has been in a wall or roof for a few weeks is full of comb, brood and honey. We treat the colony, then open the cavity where needed and cut the comb out. This bee nest removal step is the part people skip at their cost: honey left in a wall ferments, leaks and stains, draws ants and pests, and the smell of the old comb brings new swarms back to the same spot.

Finally, the cavity is cleaned and the entry is sealed so the next swarm cannot use it. We are straightforward about what we do: we are a pest control business, and the colony is treated and removed rather than kept.

  • Swarms treated and cleared the same day
  • Hives treated, then comb and honey cut out
  • Cavity cleaned and the entry sealed
  • Chimneys, walls, roofs, meter boxes and bins

Do not

What not to do with bees

Please do not spray a swarm or a hive with a garden hose or a can of insect spray, block the entry, or light a fire under a chimney with bees in it. Each of these upsets the bees without solving anything, and blocking the entry can send them into the house.

If anyone in the house is allergic to bee stings, keep them indoors with the windows shut until the job is done. If someone is stung and has trouble breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or feels faint, call 000.

  • No hosing or spraying
  • Never block the entry
  • No fire in a chimney with bees
  • Anyone allergic kept indoors

A fixed price first, then the bees dealt with safely.

STEP 1

Tell us what you see

A swarm on a branch or bees going in and out of a gap, and where.

Treat the colony

A licensed technician in a full bee suit treats the swarm or hive.

STEP 4

Remove the comb

For hives, the comb and honey are cut out and the cavity cleaned.

STEP 5

Seal the entry

The gap is sealed so new swarms cannot move back in.

Prevention

Stopping the next swarm moving in

Scout bees look for a dry, dark cavity with a small entrance, and older Werribee homes offer plenty. Before spring, fit a mesh cap to any chimney you no longer use, replace missing weep hole covers, check the seal on the meter box door and close up gaps at the eaves.

Keep compost bins and water meter pits closed, and look at sheds and cubby houses too. If a hive has been removed from your walls before, make sure the old entry was sealed, because the scent of old comb brings swarms back to the same spot year after year.

  • Unused chimneys capped with mesh
  • Weep hole covers and meter box seals checked
  • Compost bins and meter pits kept closed
  • Old hive entries sealed for good

Cost

What decides the bee removal cost

The bee removal cost depends mostly on whether it is a swarm or an established hive. A swarm on a low branch is a short job. A hive that has been in a double brick wall or a chimney for months, with comb to cut out and a cavity to seal, takes much longer. You get a fixed price before we travel, and it does not change on the day.

People sometimes search for a bee exterminator and expect a quick spray, but that is not the full job for a hive, because comb and honey left behind cause problems of their own. We price the whole job, including the comb and the seal, so you are not paying twice.

  • Swarm or established hive
  • Wall, roof, chimney or meter box
  • How much comb needs cutting out
  • Height and access

Ask for your fixed price. It is free.

Questions

Bee removal Werribee questions

Can you come to Werribee 3030 today?
Often, yes, especially in spring. Call in the morning and we can usually get there the same day, seven days a week.
Do you kill the bees?
Yes. We are a pest control business, not a beekeeping service, so the colony is treated and then removed. We would rather say that plainly.
Will a swarm leave by itself?
Sometimes, within a day or two, but it often moves straight into a wall, roof or chimney nearby. Dealing with it while it is still in the open is quicker and cheaper.
Why do you cut out the comb?
Honey and comb left in a wall ferment, leak and stain, attract ants and other pests, and the smell draws new swarms back. Removing it is what finishes the job.
Can you get bees out of a chimney?
Yes. Bees in chimneys are common in older Werribee homes. We treat the colony, remove what comb we can reach and seal the flue so they cannot return.
How much does bee removal cost in Werribee?
It depends on whether it is a swarm or a hive, and where the hive is. You get a fixed price before we travel.
Are bees in the wall dangerous?
They can be if disturbed, and the hive grows quickly. Keep people and pets away from the entry and do not block it.
Is it bees or wasps?
Bees are furry, golden brown and gentler. European wasps are shiny yellow and black with little hair. Send a photo if you are not sure.
