Bee Swarm in a Melton West Garden
A homeowner in Melton West recently reached out when they noticed a large cluster of bees on a tree in the garden area. The swarm had gathered on one of the lower branches, close to the outdoor seating space. Although the bees were calm, their buzzing presence caused understandable concern for the family and their pets.
Recognising the importance of bees in the environment, the homeowner wanted them removed safely without harm — and that’s where our expert bee removal team stepped in.
Inspection and Site Assessment
Before starting the removal, our technicians carefully assessed the garden area and surrounding environment.
Key checks included:
- Accessibility: Ensuring we could safely reach the swarm without disturbing plants or damaging garden structures.
- Weather conditions: Calm, mild weather made it perfect for a low-stress removal.
- Bee behavior: Observing bee activity to locate the queen’s position.
- Nearby plants: Checking for flowering plants that could attract scouts or trigger future swarms.
- Safety for homeowners and pets: Setting up barriers to keep everyone at a safe distance during the procedure.
After the inspection, we confirmed the bees were temporarily resting on the tree and not nesting inside any structure — making live relocation the best option.
Our Safe Bee Removal Process
- Preparing the Equipment
We brought in a ventilated bee relocation box and set it up near the swarm site under the tree. The box included frames to help the bees settle comfortably. - Gentle Handling
Wearing protective suits, our team approached the tree calmly. Using minimal smoke and soft brushing, we guided the bees into the box without harming them or damaging the surrounding garden plants. - Securing the Queen
Once we confirmed the queen was safely inside, the rest of the bees naturally followed. We monitored their behavior until the majority settled into the box. - Observation and Collection
After ensuring the bees were calm and contained, we carefully sealed the box for transport to a partner beekeeper where the colony would continue to thrive. - Garden Cleanup and Safety Advice
Our team ensured the garden area was left clean and safe. We advised the homeowner to:- Trim overgrown branches where bees may cluster.
- Avoid using strong garden fragrances.
- Seal small crevices in fences or sheds to prevent future nesting.
