Getting Bees Removed From Your Gower Property

A cluster of bees hanging from a branch in Gower looks alarming, but it is often calm, because the bees are between homes. A colony that has moved into a wall is another matter. It defends its entrance, and the honey and wax inside can seep into the drywall. Pest control companies that handle honey bees often work with local beekeepers who can gather a swarm, or open the wall and take the colony out alive where that is possible. Please do not spray it yourself. Dead bees and leftover comb draw ants, moths and more bees.

Before the Exterminator Arrives

  • Do not spray the bees or the hive. Spraying kills bees but leaves the honey and wax behind, which can rot, draw ants and rodents, and attract new bees to the same spot. A hive in a wall that is sprayed can also turn defensive.
  • Keep people and pets well back. A resting swarm is usually calm, but an established hive guards its entrance. Bring children and pets indoors and close nearby windows. Africanized honey bees, found in parts of the South and Southwest, defend a nest much more strongly.
  • Do not seal the entrance. Closing the hole can send bees into the wall, a light fixture or an outlet, and melted honey can leak through drywall. Leave it open for the beekeeper or technician.
  • Know when a sting is an emergency. If anyone has trouble breathing, swelling of the face or throat, dizziness or spreading hives after a sting, call 911. Call 911 as well if a large number of bees attack, and get indoors.

Signs You Need Bee Removal

  • A cluster of bees on a branch, fence or car. A swarm is a ball of bees resting while scouts look for a new home. Swarms usually move on within a few days, but a beekeeper can collect one sooner.
  • Steady traffic at a small hole. Honey bees fly in and out of one opening all day, often at a gap in the siding, a soffit, a chimney or a hollow in a tree.
  • A hum inside a wall. A steady buzzing, loudest on warm days and sometimes felt when you press a hand to the wall, points to an established colony with comb inside.
  • Honey stains or a sweet smell. Dark, sticky patches on drywall or siding, and a sweet or waxy odor, can mean comb is melting in the wall.
  • Bees, not wasps. Honey bees are fuzzy and golden-brown with dark bands. Wasps are slimmer, smooth and shiny. If the insects turn out to be wasps, the company treats the nest as a wasp job instead.

Local conditions

Bee Removal in Gower: What to Know

On the Plains, honey bees nest in old barns, farmhouse walls, silos and hollow trees, and swarms are most common in late spring and summer.

Calls about bee problems come from every Gower ZIP code, day and night.

How the Job Is Done

  • Swarm collection. A swarm on a branch or fence is usually brushed or boxed by a beekeeper in a short visit, then taken to a new hive location.
  • Opening the wall for a hive. For an established hive, the technician or beekeeper may cut an access panel in the wall, vacuum or lift out the bees and comb, and move the colony alive where that is possible.
  • Comb removal and sealing. Old comb and honey are cleaned out so they cannot draw pests or new bees, then the opening is sealed. Repairing drywall or siding is often a separate job.

When you call

What to Tell the Pest Control Company

A minute of detail on the phone means the right plan on the first visit.

  • Whether the bees are in a cluster outdoors or going into a hole, and how high up it is.
  • How long they have been there, and whether you have noticed honey stains or a hum inside a wall.
  • What the bees look like: fuzzy and golden-brown, or smooth, slim and shiny.
  • Whether anyone is allergic to stings, whether a child or pet has been stung, and whether any spray has been used.
