Bees are a common sight throughout Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, Leighton Buzzard and beyond, and they’re generally harmless to humans. In fact, since bees pollinate plants, they are a crucial part of our eco-system.
Unfortunately, some social bee species, such as honey bees and bumblebees, can build nests in homes and business premises, particularly inside tight spaces such as garden sheds, wall cavities, roofs and eaves.
This can cause an issue, as bees, like wasps, have painful stings, and cause anaphylactic shock if you’re allergic to bees. As such, you may need professional bee removal and relocation from BH Pest Control.
Our team have undertaken training with local beekeepers to be able to offer safe bee removal as part of our domestic and commercial pest control services. For expert bee relocation across Milton Keynes, call 01908 412488 today.

Bees Vs Wasps: What’s The Difference?
Bees might look similar to wasps, but they are very different species. Bees are pollinators that only eat nectar and pollen gathered from flowers, whereas wasps are omnivorous, and wasp larvae often eat other insects, including aphids, spiders and flies, acting as a natural form of pest control.
The most significant difference between bees and wasps is that bees have barbed stings, meaning they can only sting once. The sting gets stuck in the skin, causing the bee to die.
Wasps have smooth stings, so they can sting as many times as they need to. As such, wasps are often considered more aggressive than bees.
Wasps often look similar to honey bees, so if you have a honey bee colony on your property, you may confuse it with a wasp infestation.
Wasp nests are made from chewed wood pulp, and look like papier-mâché, whereas bee nests are made from beeswax, and often have hexagonal cells visible.
Whether you’ve got wasps or bees, BH Pest Control can help. Our team can remove the nest and provide helpful advice to reduce the chances of a future pest problem.

DIY bee removal techniques are often ineffective, as they can make bees defensive and cause property damage.
Additionally, spraying bees with insecticides can cause issues for bees and the environment.
Thankfully, BH Pest Control can remove bees safely and relocate them, reducing the environmental impact of eradicating the bees.
Honey bee colonies can contain tens of thousands of bees, which can be a nuisance, but our safe, effective bee relocation service will protect you, your property and public safety.
