Why Rondebosch sees a lot of bee activity
The large, well-established trees lining many Rondebosch streets are a natural resting spot for swarms in transit. The Rondebosch Common and surrounding green areas also attract higher bee populations, which means more swarm sightings and more hive activity in nearby properties.
Hives in older Rondebosch homes
Many properties were built decades ago, with rooflines, eaves, and wall cavities that are more accessible to bees than modern builds. Established hives in these structures can grow large before homeowners notice, making proper removal and sealing more involved.
What Bee Bandits does on site
Charles assesses the species, likely colony size, and safest access route before any removal starts. The plan is explained clearly on site, including what cleanup or sealing is recommended once the bees are handled.
Pricing
Prices start from R450. The final amount depends on the type of insect, the location and access, and what the job requires once on site.
