Bees

There are a number of varieties of bees in the British Isles and they all provide a useful service in helping to pollinate our plants, however sometimes they can cause problems to householders and businesses if they decide to build their nests in or around buildings. We always try to rescue and relocate bees wherever possible, but unfortunately are not always able to do so.

Around March time most bee activity is from Mortar or Mining bees and there are a number of different species that may be active in walls, in the ground or under the roof tiles of buildings. Beds and Bucks Pest Control can spray an organic powder to dissuade them from continuing to use a particular site so that they move on.

In April or May we start to see activity from Bumble Bees that frequently will invade the corners of roofs in buildings under the tiles. The nest will become larger and more active during the summer months and can sometimes cause difficulty to householders and businesses. Unfortunately, we cannot rescue a nest in these circumstances and it would have to be destroyed, but if the nest is in a bird box or a cardboard box in the shed or garage then we can remove it safely and relocate. We are eternally dedicated in our efforts towards the removal of Wasps nests and bees nests in Milton Keynes and Newport Pagnell.
