Emergency Bee Removal Melbourne | 24/7 Service
Same-day swarm collection across Melbourne, answered 24 hours. Docile swarms boxed alive and rehomed — and priority attendance if someone on site is allergic. From $149.
What Is Actually Involved
A swarm is bees between homes. They have left the old hive with the queen, clustered somewhere in the open while scout bees search for a permanent cavity, and they are carrying nothing worth defending — which is why a settled swarm is usually docile and why this is the cheapest and simplest bee job there is.
The catch is the clock. Scouts typically settle on a cavity within one to two days, and if the cavity they choose is your wall or roof, a $149 collection becomes a cut-out costing several times that. If you have a swarm hanging in the open right now, this is the window.

What we do
The cluster is collected with the queen and boxed on site, then rehomed into a managed hive.
Height access
Swarms up trees or on second storeys are assessed and quoted first – we will tell you if it is not safely reachable.

What Bee Removal Costs In Melbourne
Most of the trade will not put a number on a page. These are ours. What moves the price is height, access and whether comb has to come out of a cavity — never how alarmed you sounded on the phone.

All prices include GST and are confirmed in writing before any work starts. We beat any written like-for-like quote from another licensed Melbourne operator by 5%. Structural repair and repainting after a cut-out are separate trades — we will tell you honestly what is involved rather than quietly leaving it out.
From Your First Call To A Sealed Wall
Six steps, and you know the price before step three.
Tell Us What You Can See
Where the bees are going, how long it has been happening, and how high up. Nine times out of ten that is enough for us to tell you whether it is a swarm, an established hive, or wasps — and roughly what it will cost.
Clear Quote, Agreed
You get a firm number before anyone is dispatched.
Assess On Site
We confirm the extent of the colony, find the true entry points, and check what is behind the wall or under the tiles before anything is opened.
Remove And Rehome
Swarms are boxed on the spot. Cavity colonies are cut out with the comb, brood and queen kept together so the hive survives the move.
Clean And Seal
The void is cleared of wax and honey, deodorised so the scent stops attracting new swarms, and the entry point is closed.
Guarantee In Writing
Every entry point we seal carries a 12-month guarantee. If bees get back in through it, we come back.
Twelve Months On Every Entry Point. Five Percent Off Any Written Quote.
Old hive scent pulls new swarms back to the same cavity for years, which is why sealing is part of the job rather than an upsell. Every entry point we close carries a 12-month guarantee — if bees get back in through it, we come back.

Guarantee covers entry points we have sealed. It does not cover a new colony entering somewhere we were not engaged to treat. Price-beat applies to written like-for-like quotes.Questions About Emergency Bee Removal
Tell us what you have noticed and we will tell you what you are dealing with, free of charge.
How quickly can you come out?
Often the same day. The phone is answered around the clock, and swarms are prioritised over routine work precisely because the window to collect them cheaply is so short.
Is a swarm dangerous?
Swarming bees are usually at their most docile, because they have no honey or brood to protect. They should still be left alone, especially near a doorway, path, playground or pool. Do not spray them and do not throw anything at them.
What if the swarm leaves before you arrive?
Then there is nothing to collect and nothing to pay for. We would rather that than have you wait and end up with a colony in the wall.
Can I just wait for them to go?
You can, and sometimes they do. The risk is the other outcome: they move into a cavity on your property, and what would have cost $149 becomes a cut-out from $495 with wall repairs on top.
When do I get a price?
No. You get a quote for the job before we travel.
