Sometimes people think that they can take care of a bird, bee or animal problem on their own.  They don't realize that there are special techniques and tools that are used during such a process. The home owner might go ahead and purchase an animal friendly "Catch'em-Alive" trap only to find out that disposing of the animal is not as simple as they originally thought.  In Massachusetts it is illegal to relocate an animal and violation of this law could carry a fine.  The trapped animal must either be released on the same property where it was caught or it must be euthanized in a humane manner.

Another problem is that many birds and animals could either be internally infected with a disease or usually are infested with fleece, mites, ticks and/or other such carriers of transmittable diseases.  The improper handling of such animals could become a human health hazard.

For these reasons you should hire a professional with the knowledge and equipment to do such work.  Here at Bees, Bats and Beyond you will find the right service professional for your needs.

Bee Removal Incident...

 Case in point...I received a call to do a bee removal from a four story building.  Several weeks prior to the call the owner noticed that there were honeybees flying into the roof-line of his home.  In a attempt to kill the bees himself he decided to opened up the interior ceiling at an assumed location near the bee access point.  After opening up a section of ceiling he realized that he could not access the bee nest due to obstructions from roof rafters.  He gave up on the attempt after he noticed that the bees were now invading his bedroom.  Several days later I was contacted to remedy the problem.  The following pictures show the results upon my arrival.  

Notice:  When it comes to bees, all they need is a 3/8 " gap to make their way through an obstruction.






The depth of the dead and dying bees on these steps is approximately 2" thick in the center of the piles.

Looking down from the bedroom.
Notice the "bearding" going on around the window sill.



Before work could begin I had to spend several hours vacuuming all the bees from within the bedroom.  I estimate that approximately 40,000 bees lay dead or dying on the bedroom floor, stairs, windows and walls.  This colony was the size of an average working bee hive.  Needless to say, after accessing the nest area I found no queen and very few bees on the brood and combs.  This lead me to believe that due to the reduction in bee population and the lack of a returning honey flow the queen decided to abscond with the remaining bees and honey.  In conclusion, "bees or no bees", the nest had to be removed!
