Swarms
At Vale Apiary, we offer a safe, swift, and environmentally responsible swarm collection service for homes, landowners, and organisations across South Wales.
Honeybee swarms may look alarming, but they’re simply searching for a new home. We’re here to guide them to one that’s safe for everyone.
Our Approach
Cavity swarm collection
A big thank to Werner at Pestforce for producing this video!
Safe Identification – Upload a photo and we’ll confirm it’s a honeybee swarm.
Same-Day Collection Available – Subject to availability and access.
Specialist Equipment – We use a purpose-built bee-vac system to gently collect bees into a clean hive box ready for rehoming.
Thermal Imaging Support – Thanks to our partnership with PestForce, we can pinpoint hidden swarms inside structures using thermal imaging cameras. This minimises unnecessary disruption and avoids guesswork.
Integrated Building Solutions – If the swarm has entered a roof, cavity wall or structure, any required building works will be carried out by our in-house team. This ensures safe access and full reinstatement afterwards.
