County Pest Control understands the behaviour of bees and can offer advice and a managed solution without the need for the use of dangerous, poisonous chemicals.
Customers are often horrified when faced with a swarm of bees in, or in close proximity to their home. Swarming does not last long, Very often the bees just move on within 24 - 48 hours without any need for intervention.
A swarm of bees usually occurs late afternoon around 3pm
We can advise on simple steps or precautions that can be taken to minimise the likelihood that bees will become a problem.

An essential part of our ecosystem
Bees are generally not aggressive creatures and form an important part of our ecosystem essential for the pollination and reproduction of plants, as well as providing an income for the growing numbers of beekeepers.

An eco-friendly approach
When dealing with bees, many pest control organisations use pesticides. Contaminated bees can carry the chemicals long distances, wiping out entire hives and, in the case of beekeepers, their livelihoods.
County Pest Control make good use of the advice given by The British Beekeepers Association and have contact with their "Swarm Coordinators" in the event that a feral swam can be collected and relocated to one of their hives.
A proverbial bee-keepers saying, mid 17th century;
A swarm in May is worth a load of hay
A swarm in June is worth a silver spoon
But a swarm in July is not worth a fly
Meaning that the later in the year it is. the less time there will be for the bees to collect pollen from flowers in blossom.
