Most pest controllers will send you to a beekeeper to remove European bee hives because of the dangers involved and the specialist knowledge. It is also important to keep bees alive where possible.If you are tempted to try and remove bees yourself, think about those big assed suits that Beekeepers wear. Well they do it for a reason! (Actually, even they still get stung from time to time.) The problem with doing it yourself is that you don't just create a problem for yourself, but the area around you as well. European bees are different to Australian Native bees. The Europeans are much bigger and more colourful. The Aussie Natives are quite small and look rather like a fly. The also don't sting.
