I work for a major construction business in the neighborhood I live in, and the two of us have many buildings on the property.
A few years ago, the two of us discovered that there were bees inside the walls of one of our conference rooms, and of course, the two of us needed to remove the bees for their safety and for ours.
Initially, the admin called our extermination business because at the time she had no plan who to contact. However, our exterminator advocated for her to call a commercial bee removal service instead. All of us were cheerful about that advice, since a removal service would better take care of the bees. After searching online for a bee removal dealer, she was able to find a good one. Two afternoons later, after the two of us initially discovered the bees, the bee removal service was on the property assessing the situation. Unfortunately, the two of us were told that the bees could not be saved because it wasn’t a colony but a displaced swarm, and it would cost significant destruction to the building if he attempted to save the bees. It was an honestly difficult situation as the decision on how to handle the bees was out of our hands. A few of us from the office wanted to get a better understanding if there were other methods that the two of us could explore. But due to the nature of the situation and the fact that it wasn’t a big colony of bees, the bee removal service had no choice in how they proceeded in removing them. Needless to say, the bees were removed, and it caused little to no injury. And the hole where the bees entered the conference room was fixed as well, to avoid this from happening again in the future.
