The signs Melbourne homes call us about
Bee relocation Melbourne wide is for anyone who wants the bees gone without killing them. Our bee relocation service takes a swarm or a colony away alive where it can be done: bee swarm relocation for a swarm hanging on a fence or a tree, and beehive relocation or bee hive relocation where a colony has moved into a wall or roof. Searching for bee relocation near me, swarm relocation or bee collection near me? This is that job. If two or more of these sound familiar, bees have moved in.
What does bee relocation cost?
Bee removal in Melbourne starts from $150, with a 1 year guarantee in writing. A swarm out in the open sits at the starting price. A hive inside a wall or roof, where the comb comes out and the cavity is sealed, costs more, and if yours does you hear the price on the phone before anything is booked.

The bees collected alive
The swarm or colony is collected and taken away to be relocated, not treated.
Gap sealed, warranty in writing
Once the bees are gone, the entry point is sealed and you get a 1 year guarantee in writing.
A bee problem gets bigger every week
This is what we see when bees are left for a season, or sealed in.
A swarm moves into your wall
A swarm on a branch is looking for a home. Within hours to a couple of days it can be inside a wall or roof.
Comb and honey build up
An established colony fills the cavity with comb and honey. The longer it stays, the more there is to cut out.
Stains and smells if sealed in
Seal the gap with the bees inside and the colony dies, the honey melts and it seeps through the plaster.
Stings near doors and play areas
Bees defend a hive. Near a door, a path or where the kids play, that means stings, and a real risk for anyone allergic.
The swarms and hives we relocate
Tap the video to watch a swarm like the ones we are called to every spring, then see what a colony builds once it is inside a wall.

Why relocation beats a can of spray
Hardware store spray kills the bees it touches and scatters the rest. Relocation takes the swarm or colony away alive, so there is nothing left to rot in the wall.

Not sure if it is bees or wasps?
They are different jobs, so it helps to know. Honey bees are fuzzy and golden brown and build wax comb. European wasps are smooth, bright yellow and black, and build a grey paper nest. We remove both.
Still not sure? Choose “Not sure if bees or wasps” on the form, or tell us on the call. We work out which it is with you before anything is booked.
If they come back, so do we
Every job comes with a 1 year guarantee in writing. If bee activity comes back inside it, we come back and sort it at no cost to you.

Bee relocation questions
How much does bee relocation cost?
Bee removal starts from $150, with a 1 year guarantee in writing. A swarm out in the open sits at the starting price. A hive inside a wall or roof, where the comb comes out and the cavity is sealed, costs more, and you always hear the price on the phone before we book. Book it for today and 10% comes off.
Can every bee job be relocated?
Not always. A swarm in the open is usually straightforward. A colony deep in a wall, a chimney or a roof void can be harder to take alive. We tell you on the call whether yours can be relocated before anything is booked.
Is there bee relocation near me?
Yes, across the metro area from our Bulleen base, 7 days a week. Tell us your suburb and we give you a time and a price on the call.
Do you do bee collection?
Yes. Bee collection near me searches usually come from people who want the bees kept alive, and that is what bee relocation is: the swarm or colony collected and taken away alive.
What is beehive relocation?
Beehive relocation means the colony is taken out of the wall or roof alive and moved, rather than treated. Swarm relocation is the same idea for a swarm that has not moved in yet. Our bee relocation service covers both.
Can you come today?
Most days, yes. Swarms are treated as urgent, and if you call in the morning there is a good chance we can be there that afternoon. If we cannot make it today we tell you on the call and give you the earliest time.
Why can I not just seal the hole?
Because the colony dies inside and the honey melts. It runs down the cavity, stains the plaster, smells, and draws ants and the next swarm. The comb has to come out, and that is the part we do.
What should I do until you arrive?
Keep children and pets away, leave the bees alone, and do not spray or block the entrance. A disturbed colony is harder and slower to treat.
Do you do commercial bee control?
Yes. Schools, childcare centres, cafes, warehouses and strata common property. Tell us about the site on the call and we plan the job around it.
