Health & Safety

At Westart Apiaries, safety comes first. Every bee removal project is carried out with strict Health & Safety protocols to protect our team, clients, and the public. Before work begins, staff and site occupants are fully briefed in line with RAMS requirements, and our operations are backed by quarterly independent safety audits.

This commitment ensures every removal is not only safe but also professional, trusted, and compliant nationwide.

Healthy Bees

Honey bees, like all livestock, can be vulnerable to pests and diseases, some of which are notifiable. Under the Westart Apiaries Trusted Bee Welfare & Colony Relocation Policy, every colony we remove is carefully housed in spacious transport frames and transferred to dedicated quarantine apiaries for monitoring.

After a six‑week quarantine, and once confirmed healthy, colonies are relocated to our production sites across Staffordshire, where they thrive and support local crop pollination.

15 years
experience

Since 2009, Westart Apiaries has specialised in safe, efficient honey bee removal from buildings across the UK. With over 22 years of beekeeping experience, we’ve perfected proven techniques that protect colonies while ensuring successful removals. Many of the bees we’ve rescued now thrive in our apiaries, producing honey enjoyed throughout Staffordshire.

Today, we share this expertise nationwide through our professional training courses for beekeepers and pest controllers, helping others build the skills and confidence to carry out bee removals responsibly.

Bee Removal Training Courses in Staffordshire, Open to UK Candidates

There are currently no formal qualifications required to carry out bee removal work in the UK. However, under The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, every commercial operator must be able to demonstrate competence in the work they undertake. Attempting bee removal without proper training or experience can create serious risks, to you, the public, and local honey‑producing operations.

At Westart Apiaries, we provide structured bee removal training courses that build the skills, confidence, and credibility you need to carry out this work safely and professionally.

• Our flagship 3‑day Foundation Module in Safe Removal of Honey Bee Colonies from buildings teaches the essential techniques for identifying, handling, and relocating colonies responsibly.

• Candidates can then progress to advanced courses, covering complex structural removals and best practices in bee welfare.

These programmes not only help you meet legal requirements for competence but also position you as a trusted professional in a growing industry.

Start your training today with Westart Apiaries, gain the knowledge, protect bee welfare, and build a reputation for safe, ethical bee removal.
