Bee Hive Removal and Pest Control in Kharghar

Found a hive? Do this first

• Shut the windows on that side. Children and pets stay indoors, in another room.
• Leave the hive alone. No spray, no smoke, no water and no stick. Bees fight back when disturbed.
• If someone has been stung many times or is having trouble breathing, get medical help at once.
• If the hive is near a lobby, lift, play area or other shared space, tell your society office.
• Call 80979 41077 and say where the hive is, which floor it is on and about how big it looks.

How the hive is removed

Trained technicians come with protective gear and the right tools, and they try not to mark or break anything of yours while taking the hive down. Beekeepers in our network take the colony to a place where it can carry on. We do not exterminate the bees, and nothing harmful is sprayed on them.

Then the spot is sanitised and any entry points are sealed, so the next colony has less reason to choose the same place. Height and walls make the job harder, and if the hive can only be reached through a common area, your society may need to say yes first.

The inspection and quote are free. Prices start at ₹2,000, and you pay more for a bigger hive or one that is awkward to reach. The work has a 1-year warranty. For wasps and other flying insects, see flying insect management.

• What does bee hive removal cost in Kharghar?

  It starts at ₹2,000. A small hive on a low branch stays close to that, while a big one high up on a tower takes more people, more time and more money. Someone will look at it for free and write down the price before anything is touched.

• Are the bees killed during removal?

  No. The hive comes down, and beekeepers carry the colony off to carry on somewhere else. We do not exterminate them, because bees matter for pollination and you can still be rid of the hive without that. In the rare case it cannot be done this way, you will hear why first.

• A swarm has landed on my Kharghar balcony. What should I do?

  Close the balcony door and leave the bees be. A swarm is often just resting on its way somewhere, and it is not as quick to attack as bees guarding a hive. It may well leave in a day or so. If you see wax starting to form, phone us.

• How many hours does it take to remove a hive?

  Most jobs take 1 to 3 hours. A hive you can walk up to is at the short end, while one on a high ledge or behind a wall takes longer. If you send a photo before the visit, the technician can bring the right equipment and not lose time on the day.

• Can you reach a hive on the outside of a tall building?

  Often, but we need to see it first. Send a photo and tell us the floor, and whether you can get close to it from a window, a ledge or the terrace. You may also need a yes from your society. We will only go ahead if it can be done safely.

• Will new bees come back to the same spot?

  They might, as the smell of an old hive can draw in a new colony. So after the removal we sanitise that spot and seal any way in. It has a warranty as well, so if bees settle in that same place again during that time, just phone us about it.

• There is a hive inside my wall. Can it still be removed?

  Usually yes. Roofs, trees and walls are all places we take hives from, and we try not to damage anything. When the bees are inside a wall, it is a bigger job than a hive hanging from a branch. Show us where they go in, from a safe distance.

• Where do the bees go after you take the hive?

  They go with beekeepers in our network, who take the colony somewhere it can keep going. So your balcony gets cleared and the bees stay alive. Once they have gone, we clean that spot and close up any openings, so that a new colony does not move into the same place.

• Should my family leave the flat during hive removal?

  You do not usually need to leave. Stay inside with the windows on that side shut until the job is done, and keep pets in too. If the hive is near a shared space, the society should keep people away from it. The technician will tell you when it is safe.

• Who do I call if bees are attacking people right now?

  If anyone is struggling to breathe, get medical help first. Then phone 80979 41077, say it is urgent, and tell us where the bees are and who was stung. We are open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Until someone gets there, get everyone indoors, shut the windows and stay away from the hive.
