Cardona & Son now offer a Wasp Control Service: Call 07958 655962
As well as collecting and safely re-homing swarms of bees we’re now fully qualified to safely control and remove wasp nests from your property. We can undertake all aspects of wasp and bee control – so if you’re based in Herts/Beds or surrounding areas and need help and advice.
We are available for weekend and late evening call-outs and can be at your property in no time at all to keep you and your family/colleagues safe. We keep our prices as low as possible.
Please Note:It is important that you do not go near a live wasp nest as Wasps swarm and if they feel threatened in any way they will sting too, this could be dangers so it is important that you leave it to the experts.
A wasp nest can contain up to 7,000 Wasps if not more, so it is a good idea not to get them angry.
Hi all, We can't recommend Andre more highly for his Bee knowledge! We had a massive 60cm by 30cm swarm in our backgarden, thousands of bees it looked like a cloud! Andre came round in the evening, and without fuss sorted it out all, even when he was using torches! Brilliant! And on such recommendation, we just had to go and buy some honey at Letchworth food market the next day, plus honey (plus an out-of-this-world sweet chilli sausage roll)!! A Great guy keeping some of our traditional ways going! We'll be back. Steve and Sarah

Dear Andre,
ReplyDeleteThank so much for coming and removing the bees nest in our lounge chimney. When the man from the North Herts Council told us there was nothing he could do as they were honey bees we were very worried, As you saw they were entering a hole in the side of the stack about 10 feet from the ground but in the late afternoon when they were queueing up to get back in they must have enlarged their entry hole and cut through into an ensuite bathroom, several dozen came in les than half an hour with some getting into the bedroom itself.
That night my son had to sleep elsewhere. Luckily you arrived the next morning and soon had the situation under control erecting a ladder with a temporary hive next to the entry hole.You smoked a lot out and they moved to the temporary hive. You went off from 12 till near sunset when you returned but bees being bees they had decided that a step from the path up to the lawn was a better spot than the hive you had left.They had swarmed here
and even started to lay down wax to make a new nest.
I was most impressed when you got down the hive from the ladder top and ever so patiently smoked and coaxed them into the hive with a large soft feather! It must have taken best part of an hour but you were most successful and in the following five days we have only seen two or three on the stack side near the entry hole. Once again Andre a very big thank
you and I would not hesitate to recomend you to anyone with a similar BEE !!! problem.
Very kind regards,
Robert Greenwood, Lilley, Hertfordshire.
I contacted several people to solve my ‘bee in the chimney’ problem, and only Andre stepped up to the challenge. Whilst others told me it wouldn’t be possible to get rid of them without killing them, Andre told me confidently that he’d be able to smoke them out, then rehouse them. Due to his patient approach over the course of an afternoon and evening, this is exactly what happened, and my family and I watched in amazement as he worked.
ReplyDeletePerhaps even better than his bee skills, though, are his talents as a pig breeder. There can’t be many beekeepers who can offer you pork and ribs after they finish, but Andre assured me that his sweet chilli rare breed sausages would be amongst the best I’ve ever tasted. Once again, he was as good as his word, and when these came off the barbeque, they caused a virtual riot as everyone fought over who’d get the last one.
So gracias for dealing with the bees, Andre, and hasta la proxima delivery of meat!
Michael Dunn, Cambridge
Thanks Michael!
