Bee Swarm Discovered on a Garden Tree in Mount Waverley
A Mount Waverley homeowner contacted us after noticing a large bee swarm hanging from a branch in their backyard tree. The bees had formed a dense cluster overnight, and while they were calm, the sight of so many bees near the house caused understandable anxiety — especially with kids and pets around.
Rather than risk getting stung or harming the bees, the homeowner chose the safest option — calling Enviro Safe Pest Control for professional bee swarm removal in Mount Waverley.
Initial Assessment and Planning
Upon arrival, our technicians performed a detailed site inspection. We observed that the swarm had attached itself to a low tree branch, just a few metres from the family’s outdoor sitting area.
Our assessment checklist included:
- Ensuring safe access to the tree without damaging branches or nearby plants.
- Checking bee temperament to determine handling method.
- Confirming no structural nesting — it was a temporary swarm, not an established hive.
- Securing the area to keep residents and pets safely indoors during removal.
Once confirmed, we began our live relocation process — ensuring no harm to the bees or the environment.
Before: Bee Swarm in the Garden Tree
Before we began, the tree was covered in hundreds of bees, clustered tightly around a single branch. Their buzzing filled the garden, and several scouts were flying around searching for a new home. The homeowner had to keep children away from the garden until the bees were relocated.
The situation, while natural, posed a risk of accidental disturbance — which could lead to stings or stress to the bees. Our goal was clear: remove the swarm safely and rehome it without causing harm.
Our Safe Bee Swarm Removal Process
- Setup and Equipment
We placed a ventilated relocation box directly under the branch holding the swarm, ensuring an easy and calm transfer. - Gentle Collection
Wearing protective gear, our team used a soft brushing method to gently encourage the bees into the box. The queen was carefully located and guided inside, helping the rest of the colony follow. - Observation
We monitored bee behavior for around 20 minutes, confirming the colony had settled and fanning behavior had begun — a sign that the queen was inside and the swarm was comfortable. - Secure Transport
Once stable, the box was sealed and transported to one of our partner beekeeping farms, where the bees could thrive in a managed hive environment.
After: A Bee-Free and Safe Garden
After the successful removal, the tree was completely clear of bees, and the garden returned to its calm, peaceful state.
The homeowner was thrilled to see the area safe again — and even happier knowing the bees were relocated, not destroyed. Our eco-friendly process ensured the colony could continue to support local pollination in a safe, controlled setting.
