Bee work on common property needs access and approval coordination. Clarify the colony, building work and resident instructions.

The practical answer
Notify the owners corporation or building manager when bees are using common property or a shared wall. Confirm who can authorise assessment and any building opening. A resident’s access to an apartment does not automatically provide permission for roof or common-property work.
One booking may involve several responsible people
The removal provider needs a clear access contact, while a manager may need to notify residents and approve repairs. Explain whether bees appear inside one apartment, on a balcony or along a shared facade. Keep observations separate from assumptions about where the colony extends.
What to do before the visit
- Provide the exact unit and shared-area locations affected.
- Arrange keys or accompanied access through the manager.
- Identify who can approve additional access or repair costs.
Questions that define the work
- Does the inspection cover adjacent affected spaces?
- Who coordinates resident restrictions during work?
- Which building repairs are outside the bee-removal scope?
What happens next?
Ensure the manager receives findings, aftercare and any outstanding work description. If bees persist in a different unit, record it as location evidence for reassessment. Avoid organising separate uncoordinated treatments of the same shared space.
