A cutout involves relocating a honey bee colony that has established itself in an unwanted location, such as a wall cavity, tree hollow, or roof soffit, to a standard beehive. 

Sometimes, bee colonies will swarm and find a place to live that is not ideal, like inside a building or tree, creating a problem for homeowners or property managers. 

They have the expertise and equipment to safely and effectively remove the bees, their comb, and honey from the unwanted location, ensuring the bees are relocated to a suitable hive. 

They will confirm that it is honey bees that have colonized the property, establish the exact location and extent of the colony, discuss the various options available for removal, outline the advantages and disadvantages of each method, and discuss the levels of proofing needed to prevent recolonization. 

Cutout specialists often require more than basic beekeeping skills, including knowledge of building structures, bee behavior, and safe handling techniques. 

They may use tools like bee vacuums, specialized suits, and techniques to minimize disruption to the bees and damage to the structure.
