REMOVING BEES CAN BE VERY TRICKY AND DANGEROUS AS THEY EMERGE FROM HOLES IN THE GROUND

We are Ontario’s leading Bee Removal and Bee Rescue Services! HoneyHoney.ca

The picture above was a century home in Caledonia area, the chimney wasn’t used, blocked off  and sure enough the bees found a great space to occupy without being disturbed. They found a beautiful penthouse suite without having to pay property taxes! Despite all that and many years of squatting they were removed safely and put into a new beehive which they loved!

We take pride in all our bee rescues and bee removals as if they are part of our family. We are the only company in Ontario who will rescue all bee species safely and handle them with care. Call us crazy but that is what we do.

In this video a modified  vacuum cleaner is used to remove the bees to avoid any wing and body damage. These honeybees found a small entry point under a residential roof and made their beehive under the bedroom flooring between the floor joists. This is a serious and problematic area for bee removal or bee rescue because they are hard to get at without opening either the ceiling or bedroom flooring. Bees usually build under the soffit. The only way to remove them is to cut the 2nd floor bedroom floor and take out each comb individually. Then remove the existing queen bee and to remove all the young eggs so that a new emergency queen can’t be created by the remaining nursing and foraging bees. We attempt to remove as many bees as possible before entering a hive using a special vacuum cleaner or with a brush because the hive may have 30,000- 60,000 bees.

Humane Honeybee Removal and Rescue Services is important to save the bees

Humane Honeybee Removal and Rescue Services is important to save the bees

 

We provide special attention and care to save the honeybee, bumblebee and the carpenter bee population/s because they are vital to our survival, food supply and pollination of our fruits and vegetables. In addition these bees also pollinate flowers and tress from which the bees obtain propolis. Propolis is used as bee glue along with disinfecting the cells and honeycomb within the hive however, studies have shown that a wild hive has propolis encompassing the entire hive has consequently less viruses and bacteria in this environment.  Humans use propolis to boost their immune system and create faster healing of cuts and wounds.  It is crucial that we ALL take care of our environment and our environment will take care of us. We will find the bees, catch them and release them in a new home or transport them and release the carpenter or bumblebees into their natural environment-into the forest 20-30 km away. Bumblebees have a radius flying zone of about 4-7 km and once our of their area will settle into a new home. We will always attempt to catch and release the bees, moreover honeybees will be placed in new hives or migrated and integrated with other beehives wherever possible.

HoneyHoney rescued many bee colonies during in 2018 and I personally want to thank everyone who called in and used our services. There are many types of bees and this picture may help to identify which bee you have before you call us for a bee rescue.

Types of Bees in Ontario

Although there are 500 different types of bees in Ontario the picture below identifies the most common ones in Ontario.

For a few clients the cost of bee removal was an issue but it created and posed a risk to either children, adults who are allergic to bees, or they were simply a nuisance.  In all cases extra caution and steps were taken to catch and release these bees. And WE will work with our clients to ensure a reasonable price was agreed given the situation and circumstance/s of every bee rescue. For example, an older lady who was on a fixed income collecting CPP was given a discount because of her personal and financial circumstances. In another situation my service fee didn’t warrant many returns to catch the carpenter bees so an agreement was reached to flat rate our services.

We specialize in bee rescues, this bee colony was 24 feet up in an oak tree inside a broken limb. The colony was about 20,000 bees strong, Halton, Oakville Ontario .

A commercial candy maker in Hamilton, Ontario had a very large yellow jacket bee hive colony in the exterior wall of the manufacturing plant. The wall was wooden and the bees had made an extensive network of honeycomb while having multiple entrances. Unfortunately, the yellow jacket bees were terminated  and nothing could be done to save them. Not every commercial site is an easy bee removal as they will move, hide, attack and in the worst situation.

The 2018 season has been a wonderful experience in regards to the rescue of carpenter bees, bumblebees and honeybees which made their respective  homes in old trees, attics, chimneys, basements, under decks, under gazebos and under porches.

What to do when you have discovered there is a honeybee swarm in your backyard, home, under the porch, in the barbecue, in a shrub or tree? Whatever you do “Don’t Panic”.

Swarming honeybees are usually NOT aggressive and simply want to find a new home to establish themselves. It’s a natural part of the honey bee’s reproductive cycle. It simply meant that the existing beehive they occupied got too small and they are looking for new real estate nearby.

Honeybees in a swarm are not likely to sting you if you just leave them alone. So please don’t spray them with water, or try to hit the with a broom or object as they can release a defensive pheromones that will engage the entire colony into defensive measures. A swarming beehive sight and experience is unbelievably  impressive from the intense sound to seeing tens of thousands of bees all around you. It’s is truly a moment to see, feel and experience. If you decide to swat or antagonize the bees in a negative fashion you might just get 30,000 to 40,000 bees dive-bombing and attacking you!  The best thing you can do for the bees is to contact our company for services or that of another local beekeeper and pest control company that are bee friendly. By calling a beekeeper, you will be doing your part to sustain the honeybee population in your area.

We remove honeybees without the use of pesticides or chemicals unless absolutely necessary.  Please call us if you have a swarm, bumblebee, carpenter bees, wasps such as yellow jacket, hornet or other. Call HoneyHoney (289-799-9417) or send email to admin@honeyhoney.ca.
