Bee relocation is often used to give beehives and colonies a chance to thrive elsewhere. It is used if a beehive is in or near someone’s house or if the bees are in a dangerous location. It is best used if the hive is healthy, has a strong queen, and seems like it will survive the move.
Here are some of the reasons why bee relocation is so important:
- It Preserves Honey Bees – When dealing with honey bee colonies, bee relocation is preferred because it maintains the hive instead of exterminating the bees. Bees can continue to pollinate, produce honey, and reproduce.
- It’s a Safe Method –Trying to exterminate bees on your own can be dangerous and leave you susceptible to stings. However, professionals can safely relocate the bees without putting you or themselves at risk.
- It Deters Future Hives –Since bee relocation removes the entire hive, it is highly unlikely new bees will return. When the hive is relocated, the bees do not leave behind a scent or pheromone that will attract new bees.
- It’s a Chemical-Free Process – One of the great benefits of relocating a hive is it is a chemical-free process. Instead of trying to kill the bees with insecticides, you won’t have to worry about dangerous or harmful chemicals in your yard. After relocation, you can feel comfortable knowing your children and pets will be safe to roam your yard.
