The Cut Out That NOBODY Else Wanted - And I Can See WHY!

🎥 About This Video - Cutting bees out of an old estate manor house flat roof 🐝🏠 In this video I respond to a call out for honey bees living in a flat roof on an old estate manor house in the UK. This is a full-scale bee cut out — a complex removal where the colony is firmly established inside the building. You’ll see exactly how I locate the nest, open up the roof space carefully, remove wild comb, and transfer the bees into a hive so they can be rehomed rather than destroyed. When bees occupy a roof, loft, soffit, cavity wall, or chimney, they can quickly become a major challenge for homeowners. In heritage or listed properties, the risks are even greater. Dripping honey, melting wax, structural staining, and aggressive guarding behaviour are common, especially during warm weather. This video shows how to manage those risks while protecting both the structure and the bees. You’ll learn how to recognise the tell-tale signs of an established roof colony, how to plan a safe access point, and how to work calmly around thousands of bees in tight spaces. I’ll demonstrate how to identify brood comb versus stores, how to protect comb from collapse, and how to handle the queen and brood during transfer. You’ll also see how to prevent robbing pressure, deal with wasp threats, and keep stress to a minimum during the relocation. This video is ideal for anyone wanting to understand humane bee removal in the UK — whether you’re a beekeeper learning about cut outs, a pest controller trying to do right by bees, or a homeowner facing a live colony in your property. It’s a real look at how careful, methodical beekeeping skills make the difference between a disaster and a successful rehoming. 🎓 14 Day Beekeeper - step by step training that builds confidence 🎓 https://www.blackmountainhoney.co.uk/... https://www.blackmountainhoney.co.uk/... https://www.blackmountainhoney.co.uk/... 🛒 Black Mountain Honey - queens, nucs and honey https://www.blackmountainhoney.co.uk 📺 Recommended Internal Videos: Removing bees from a flat roof in Wales    • The Cut Out That NOBODY Else Wanted - And ...   Should you kill honey bees    • Should You Kill Honey Bees? Not Until You ...   Wild comb and feral colonies explained    • Bees Make INCREDIBLE Wild Honey Combs!   📂 Recommended Playlists: Wild Bees    • Wild Bees, Feral Colonies, Natural Bee Beh...   Collecting swarms    • Collecting Swarms: Safe Removal, Handling ...   Wild combs    • Wild Comb Honey Jars: Preparing, Filling a...   👍 If this helped you, please like, subscribe, and share.
