When a swarm of bees moves into your roof, chimney, garden wall or shed, it can be worrying. But here’s something important to know: bees are not pests — they’re essential to life. Instead of extermination, the safest and most responsible choice is ethical bee removal and relocation.
At Pearly Honey, we specialise in safe, chemical-free bee removal across Hermanus, Pearly Beach, and the Overberg — rescuing bees and giving them a new home instead of destroying them.
Why Bees Should Be Saved, Not Killed
Bees pollinate over 70% of the food we eat — fruits, vegetables, nuts, herbs, and even fynbos flowers. Without them, ecosystems collapse.
Unfortunately, many people spray or poison bees when they form a hive at their home. This not only kills the colony but also:
Releases honey inside walls (which can attract ants, rodents, and cockroaches)
Leaves behind wax, causing permanent stains and damage
Harms the environment and reduces pollination in your local area
Ethical bee removal solves the problem without harming the bees.
What Is Ethical Bee Removal?
Ethical bee removal is a process where:
The entire hive is carefully located (including queen, workers, and comb).
Bees are gently removed using soft vacuums or smoke — no pesticides.
The honeycomb is removed safely to prevent future infestations.
The bees are rehoused in a managed beehive on a farm or apiary.
The area is sealed to stop future colonies from moving in.
No bees are harmed. No toxic chemicals are used.

What Happens to the Bees Afterwards?
We relocate the bees to our farm in Pearly Beach, Overg Region of South Africa. There, they continue to thrive in their new hive — producing honey and helping pollinate local fynbos.
How To Know If You Need Bee Removal
You might need bee removal if you notice:
- Bees flying in and out of one spot constantly
- Buzzing noises inside a wall or ceiling
- Wax or honey dripping from a structure
- A large swarm is settling in a tree or roof.
Don’t spray them. Don’t burn them. Don’t block the hole.
