Bee Removals from electricity boxes in Randpark Ridge
Having only been classified as a suburb of Johannesburg in the 1980s, Randpark Ridge and the Weltevreden Park are still relatively new suburbs in Johannesburg. The location of these suburbs puts them quite far to the west of Johannesburg in an area where there are still a number of smallholdings and the proximity of the Magaliesberg leaves one feeling as if you have left the city behind.
The stands in Randpark ridge are a little larger than in a lot of the suburbs and to facilitate the reading of electricity meters the meters are placed outside properties. It is in these meters that bees have been known to build their hives. It is a quiet space that is generally undisturbed, allowing the bees to build their hive and make honey for extended periods.
Often in these cases a meter reader will attempt to take a reading and upon discovering the bees will leave again, allowing the bees to go about their business undisturbed.
Because the electricity meters that are attached to the houses in Weltevreden Park and Randpark Ridge are usually on the outside of the home the tenants do not notice that a colony of bees have built their hive in the electricity box until they need to access the meter or the external trip switches, by this time the bees may have already built a substantial amount of comb, in which the queen can lay eggs and the colony may already have started to expand.
It is best to call in the services of an experience bee remover. When left alone, bees tend to be calm and non aggressive, posing little to no risk. However, if you were to try and remove the bees from the electricity box attached to your home and are not entirely sure of what you are doing you run the risk of upsetting the bees and having a swarm of angry bees attack you and anyone else in the vicinity.
Bees are in the electricity box and probably not doing anybody any harm, it does make it difficult for the meter reader to access and should you experience an emergency you may find your self with a slew of inconveniences.
Although electricity boxes in Randpark Ridge are not the exclusive choice of bees for their new home, it is quite a common occurrence and is best left to a professional bee removal team.
