Vergo will carry out a comprehensive survey so that we can create a complete bespoke scope of work that enables us to safely remove the bees and honeycomb from the property.
As honeycomb is protected under UK law, we never recommend spraying honeybees as pesticide will be brought back to the comb by the bees and will contaminate it. This is then a risk of foraging bees stealing the honey, taking it back to and contaminating beekeeper’s hives and entering the human food chain. This is a finable offence.
There is no legal pesticide for use on honeybees in the UK. If you do spray the bees, it will not fix the problem as there will be no bees to maintain the honey and comb. This will lead to honey damage and comb collapsing or rotting in the building.
Honeybees are important pollinators for flowers, fruits and vegetables. This means that they help other plants grow. Bees transfer pollen between the male and female parts, allowing plants to grow seeds and fruit.
Honeybees live in hives (or colonies). The members of the hive are divided into three types:
When honey bees swarm, a large proportion of the honey bees leave their nest in search of a new location to start a new colony and that place can be anywhere that is warm, dry and offer protection from the elements with room to expand the colony.
Common locations for unwanted nests include inside roof spaces, behind facia boards and soffits and within wall cavities or outbuildings such as sheds or garages.
Honeybees can thrive in both domestic and natural environments, they prefer to live in places that allows them to hide from predators.
You may find honeybees in gardens and woodland areas with access to flowering plants offering a great food source.
Honeybees can also be found in within building fabric, such as cladding, insulation, cavity walls or in airbricks and chimney stacks.
Bees feed on and require both nectar and pollen from flowers. Nectar provides energy and pollen gives protein and other nutrients. Most pollen bees use as food for their larvae food, but bees also transfer this from plant-to-plant, providing the pollination services needed by plants and nature.
Honey tastes different depending on which flowers bees feed on.

Bees will normally only sting if they are feeling threatened, or if their queen is danger. When a bee stings, a pheromone is released to alert other bees that they are under attack, this could result in multiple bee stings.
Whilst painful in most cases bee stings are not dangerous. However, bee stings can be potentially life threatening to those who are allergic to the venom.
No once honeybees are established, they can remain in place for up to 15 years or more.
Male bees cannot sting.
The female bees (worker bees and queens) are the only ones that can sting, their stinger is a modified ‘ovipositor’ which is the organ used to lay eggs.
The honeybee queen can lay up to 2000-3000 eggs a day through the peak summer periods.
In a largescale honeybee infestation, there can be up to 500,000 bees in a colony!
