Suffolk Busy Bees

Excellent, professional, service. Gave us loads of information and answered all our questions with a lot of care and patience. Would highly recommend.

A swarm of honeybees took up residence in my chimney on Friday in early May, and I’m so grateful I managed to find Scott at Suffolk Busy Bees the following morning. I texted Scott because it was early in the morning and he rang me back immediately, gave me loads of advice. I’d previously been given a quote of a few thousand to do a chimney cut out the following weekend, but Scott advised me to smoke the bees out as it was a working chimney. It took 4 days of smokey fires, but the bees did eventually depart on the Monday afternoon. The following Saturday afternoon a few more bees (possibly returners from the previous week) appeared and we got the fire smoking right away and they left quickly.

Scott’s advice literally saved me thousands of pounds. He was extemely generous with his time, giving loads of advice answering my questions, looking at videos, calling for several days to check-in on the situation. In the end I didn’t need Scott to come and remove the bees, but his quote was less than half the amounts I was quoted by two other companies. Scott probably gave me at least half a working day’s worth of his time on the phone an email, maybe more than that, but he never charged me a penny for his time. An extremely generous and honest man, and I wish him and Suffolk Busy Bees all the best and so thankful I found this page for his business.

Speedy resolution to removing a bee colony in the space above a dormer window in our house.Very professional and careful service from Scott and Suzanne -lovely people to deal with who are obviously very passionate and caring about rehoming the bees and educating us about them in so-doing.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Suffolk Busy Bees .
Thank you Scott and Suzanne(and for the 2 jars of delicious honey!)

Scott has been brilliant, I contacted him on Monday evening about a large swarm of bee’s that had taken up residence in my stable wall and they were safely removed and rehomed on Wednesday. Very professional, friendly and competent. He clearly is extremely committed to his job and looking after the bee’s. Highly recommended.

Scott was brilliant. Came out within 24hrs, gave some great advice, clearly incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his work. Over he course of two days he came out four times which resulted in an entire hive being removed from a chimney without having to go anywhere near them. If you have a hive or swarm appear, give Scott a call ASAP. You won’t regret it.

I had a swarm of bees descend into a chimney at the back of my house. I called Scott and he came very promptly and suggested trying to smoke them out as they were recent arrivals. Fortunately it worked, though it took a long time and the bees were persuaded into a hive he had brought. All in all very professional and I have no hesitation in recommending to any that need similar services

We had a large number of honey bees going in and out of a void above a dormer window in our cottage. They had been doing this for over two years and we were concerned about possible damage to our cottage. We contacted several bee-keepers to ask about removal but none would tackle a colony so high up. We contacted several Pest Removal firms but none were interested in honey bees. We contacted two “specialist” honey bee removal firms but they were quoting astronomical amounts for the removal.
And then we found Scott. He looked at the problem and gave us lots of information advising us to wait until the early spring before he came to remove the bees. He arrived with the scaffolders who were very efficient. He came back with his builder and opened up the void. I think he was disappointed that the bees had almost disappeared most having died over the winter but he removed an enormous amount of comb before tidying up the whole void and cleaning everything to avoid another swarm being attracted by the smell.
Altogether a thoroughly professional job as well as being an education.

Had Suffolk busy bees come out to remover a honey bee hive from our chimney. Very fast response and the info that was provided made the whole process very enjoyable. And I would highly recommend this company to anyone that encounters bees or wasps in the future.

If I could give them 10 starts I would. Thank you again. Scott and team

Had a honeybee nest in a very awkward area of my bedroom ceiling. Honey was leaking through and making stains and the bees were getting very loud and active in the hot weather. Contacted Suffolk Busy Bees and am really impressed with the fast response and how quickly they came to do the job and humanely re-house the bees. Friendly and informative team ( I learned a lot about bees ) and showed a lot of care putting things back to how they were originally after having to cut out the bees nest and comb; a very fiddly operation! I really recommend them.

Very fast response to collect a swarm of honey bees. Arrived within ten minutes of having received my call. Really friendly and I learned a lot about honey bees whilst they were being collected. No charge, really delighted with the service, thank you!

Massive hive in really awkward location in wall of very old, timber framed house removed and walls, soffits repaired etc. Many extra visits to fill up more holes so the very tenacious bees can’t re- enter. Very appreciative of the hard work and dedication to saving as many bees as possible and giving them an alternative home. And also the care and attention paid to repairing my house.

Asked for advice – provided promptly and helpfully. Could have come and charged me lots of money, but instead recommended “wait and see” action so impressed by honesty and careful help.

Large bees nest removed from our compost bin. Very prompt service would highly recommend

Fantastic service every time!
Highly recommend!

Fantastic service, thank you !!

Cannot recommend these guys enough! Fast, efficient, professional & friendly service! 🐝

Bumble bee advice given and I was happy with everything I was told about them. I didn’t really want to get rid of them as they’re doing a job but my husband is allergic. I was told they’d be gone by mid July and to leave alone and they should leave us alone. When they’re ready they’ll just fly away. I’ve left them and they’re just buzzing about their business and leaving us to ours. Thank u for the good adviemce
