Protect your home or business from honey bee infestations by learning how to identify, manage, and prevent them safely and effectively.
At Santera, our experts specialise in the safe and responsible removal of honey bee colonies. Recognizing their vital role in pollination, we prioritize eco-friendly relocation rather than extermination, ensuring both safety and sustainability.
Through our A.I.M. (Assess, Implement, Maintain) method, we remove nests with precision, seal all access points, and apply preventive measures for lasting protection.
They are found in tree hollows, wall cavities, attics, and sometimes in chimneys or sheds, wherever it is safe to build their hives.
Honey bees are generally non-aggressive but will sting to defend their hive if they feel threatened. Once they sting, they die shortly afterward.
Honey bees are small, golden-brown insects with fuzzy bodies and black bands. They have two pairs of wings and measure about 12–15 mm in length.
They feed on nectar and pollen, which they collect from flowers to produce honey. Their pollination activity supports plant growth and food production.
Seal cracks and openings in walls, roofs, or soffits where bees may build hives. Remove sources of standing water and store sweet food or drink in sealed containers outdoors.
Honey bees live in large colonies with a structured social system of queens, workers, and drones. They swarm when colonies grow large, often relocating to form new hives.
The queen lays all the eggs in the hive. Worker bees care for the larvae and maintain the hive’s structure. Colonies can grow quickly, especially in spring and summer, when food sources are abundant.
