Extracting honey bees from buildings is considerably more difficult than collecting swarm clusters. When the colony is first established, only a few pounds of adult bees are present, but these bees rapidly build combs, collect honey, and begin to rear more bees.
A well-established colony may have up to 100 pounds of honey, many pounds of adult and developing bees, and many beeswax combs.
Options for bee extermination
For most offices you may find the bee colony is well established. This is common for most warehouse or go down offices in Nairobi, Kisumu, Eldoret, Kakamega Kenya. This may require bee hive fumigation pest control services because unattended brood can also rot and become very odorous. Unattended honey stores can absorb moisture and ferment, creating gas that causes the capping holding honey in the cells to burst.
Honey then seeps through the drywall, leading to large amounts of clean-up and expensive replacement. If pesticides were used to kill the bees, then the honey, wax and, dead bees are contaminated and must be handled as hazardous waste.
Applying insecticides?
A better procedure than applying insecticides, especially if you have a beekeeper who is willing to help, may be to eliminate the bees without killing them. First the beekeeper will need to locate the nest by tapping the wall and listening for the hum of the colony.
Others drill extremely small holes in the wall and insert a fine wire to find the periphery of the nest. To take honey bees and their combs from the nesting spot requires opening a fairly large hole in some portion of the building.
That is best done by a professional pest control fumigation services company so that the hole can be easily closed after the bees are removed.
