How To Deal With A Swarm Of Bees?

How To Deal With A Swarm Of Bees?

With the arrival of spring comes all the wildflowers blooming around Perth and a whole lot of buzz. The little bees are buzzing, pollinating, and making some sweet honey. Sure, bees are important and everything, but let us be real, they also add a little sting to the pollination mix. Bees can also be a bother when they are in too close of proximity to your home (particularly if you are allergic), and their hives can damage your property.

Bees are great for our planet we love them 

We have a relocation only method for bee treatment. We install a new home for the hive, so your home remains secure and bees stay in the area. It’s a win-win for everyone.

Why bees swarm

We have around 1000 native species of bees up in Western Australia, from the European honey bees to the gorgeous Blue banded Bee. Many of these little guys are completely harmless and possess no stinger. But we do have quite a number of buzzing stingers, especially active in the spring months. You may end up avoiding bees while hanging some laundry or finding unwanted residents making a home out of your brick or by opening windows.

Why do bees swarm? 

This is also a very neat natural part of their life cycle that takes place when the colony becomes larger and the weather starts to warm up. Swarming occurs when the old queen leaves with a portion of her colony to form a new one. It is all down to a new house, which is fine, unless of course your house is the one they are moving into.

Avoid swarms 

If you find a swarm, stay well away from it. These bees don't go out of the way to bother you and they are on a mission to protect their queen but if you get too close they will defend themselves. Swarms typically will not remain long, days or even hours.

But if the bees appear to be making a home out of it, and particularly if you suffer from allergies or have inquisitive pets in the house, then it may be time to get a professional on the phone – that would be us!

Ark Termite Treatment The Vines always respects and protects our bees. We then move the hives to appropriate new residences, keeping them out of your way while also ensuring your family and local ecosystem is safe.

What will lessen the attraction of a bee to a particular house? 

You could try sealing small openings in your walls, and removing things in your garden where they can nest. This is the reason the bees do not stick around the house and you will also place naphthalene around your home and bees will go away from your home. This naphthalene is very strong repellent to the bee.

You see, bees are workers and they are essential in this world of ours. You may have heard the famous quote often misattributed to Albert Einstein saying: If the Bees disappeared off the Global Surface, then Man would only have Four Years left to live. While he might not have uttered those specific words, the sentiment is just as true .

 We need bees

Relocating hives allows us to respect and protect these amazing pollinators while keeping everyone safe.
