frequently asked questions
Help! Bees have built a nest near me!
Do not worry! Most honey bees are docile but some are more easily provoked than others, depending on the stage of the colony. If you want to remove the bee hive, let Mr Xavier Tan know the type of bees and location of the beehive by taking a short video clip/pictures and sending it to him. He will give you advice from there. Alternatively, with a little adjustment to your daily routine, you may be able to just leave the bees alone and enjoy their company.
How do you remove the bees humanely?
We will prepare a wooden box to trap the queen and the colony. All the honey comb will be removed together with all the broods and young bees and stored inside the box. When majority of the bees are already inside the box, Mr Xavier Tan will then seal the box and transport them to a prearranged private garden. The colony of bees will then be setup in their new home to help pollinate the garden. The process can takes from 2 hours to days, depending on the size of the colony. Read more here.
Do you charge for bee removal services?
Yes.
How much do you charge for bee removal services?
The rate we charge to remove a colony of wild honey bees will depends on the difficulty to access, the type of honey bee, and the size of the colony. The process will relatively be more complete as compared to pest control (exterminator).
Why do you charge for bee removal services?
We have taken into account the costs of transporting and relocating the beehive. You can be guaranteed that it will be a humane process. Mr Xavier Tan always places the survival of the bees first, such as by returning the honey to the bees after relocating them. This is also an environmentally-friendly service. No toxic pesticides would be used in the removal. Thus, this labour-intensive process of relocating the colony by moving the queen bee first, may take up to 8 hours. In addition, there is a need to discourage the public from indiscriminately removing bees from their homes if there is a possibility to co-exist with them. Read more here.
