Firefighters put their lives on the line as they tackle the risky task of removing beehives. The team from Pobla de Farnals rushed to Albuixech in response to a distress call. With spring in full swing, these swarms become more prevalent and may even nest on the balconies of our homes. In such cases, calling the firefighters is imperative.

Often, firefighters must engage in vertical maneuvers, donning protective gear as they scale facades to remove the beehives.

During this time of year, emergency services are on high alert, given the danger these swarms pose to individuals. They typically intervene when the bees pose a threat in public areas. Homeowners, on the other hand, are advised to seek the assistance of a professional beekeeper to handle hive removal on private properties.
