SOS BEE SWARM

Found a bee swarm? Let’s talk.

Have you spotted a cluster of bees on a tree, fence or near your home? Keep your distance and contact us.

01 — SOS BEE SWARM

Observe from a distance.

Do not touch, spray or try to move the swarm. Keep children and animals away. There is no need to approach the bees to contact us.

02 — SOS BEE SWARM

Three useful details.

A photo from a distance

Only if safe, photograph the swarm and its surroundings. WhatsApp is an external service; you can also call.

The precise location

Provide the municipality, address and where the bees have settled.

Access conditions

Describe approximate height and obstacles without climbing or intervening yourself.

03 — SOS BEE SWARM

Is collection free?

Collection is generally free when the swarm is easily accessible without building work, dismantling or hazardous access. We assess the situation with you before travelling.

04 — SOS BEE SWARM

Where and when do we intervene?

Primarily around Crans-Montana and Sierre. Elsewhere, contact us to check. Weekends may be possible depending on availability; a message does not confirm an intervention.

05 — SOS BEE SWARM

Walls, chimneys, wasps or wild bees?

We do not dismantle roofs, chimneys, shutters or walls. Describe the situation so we can advise on the next point of contact.

This service concerns honey bee swarms, not wasps or wild bees. A compact exposed cluster can suggest a swarm; a closed nest or insects entering a cavity may indicate something else. A photo does not always allow certain identification.

A QUESTION, A PROJECT?

Let’s talk about it.

Describe what you need and your preferred timing. We will discuss the possibilities and conditions with you directly.
