SWARMS REMOVAL
From Abellaires Empordanesos we offer a service of removing bee swarms and nests in houses, gardens or any space where they do not belong.
If you see one nearby, call us!
In the spring, when the fields are in full bloom, the bees are at full speed, reproducing and growing their hives.
Sometimes they don’t have space in the place where they live and they do what we call “swarming”, which means that within the same group a new queen is formed and they separate. The oldest queen bee, with a few workers, leave their hive to find a new place to live. They travel in a swarm. And this can cause unforeseen events.
At Abellaires we have all the permissions and licenses to carry out the removal of swarms and nests in a safe and respectful way with the bee. Wherever they are.
Swarms extraction
Do you have a large group of bees on your property?
Do you see that there is like a ball of bees in your garden? They may leave to find another place to start building a new nest, but they may also find a corner in your home to settle down.
In these cases, as soon as you notify us, we will come to remove the swarm from your home. We will need you to provide us with some information and, if that’s okay with you, a photo in order to prepare the best estimate for your needs.

More information
If you want to know more interesting facts about the swarms and what we do with the bees we rescue, consult the frequently asked questions.
Bee nests
It is well known that bees are workers, and when they swarm they look for a new place to settle. They can build their hives in unsuspected corners: between a portico and a window, inside the air chamber of a wall, in garden sheds…
When there are already built honeycombs we call them nests and the removal requires more tracing and dedication.
For us, the most important thing is to remove what could end up being a serious problem on the farm. We always try to save as many bees as possible, since as you know they are very important for the maintenance of ecosystems.
Velutina wasp nests
Their nests are quite voluminous and of a rounded shape, they usually hang from branches but in recent years it is very common to find them inside garages and terraces.
The velutina wasp is an invasive species that is unfortunately becoming more and more widespread in our territory.
The removal of velutina wasp nests is a high-risk job. We are equipped with a special suit that is much thicker than a beekeeper’s suit, as its stings are long and dangerous.
The removal of nests is usually done at night, which is when we ensure that most wasps are inside the nest.
In this case, what is important is to eliminate them, as they pose a danger to the survival of honey bees.
