Honey Bees Hive - Honey Bee Removal

WHY CONTROL HONEY BEES?

Honey bees are vital for pollination and producing honey, but they can become a nuisance when they nest close to homes or businesses. This situation is particularly dangerous for individuals allergic to bee stings. Bees tend to swarm in late spring and early summer, often settling in residential areas, making professional bee pest control crucial.

Although generally non-aggressive, honey bees can pose risks when their swarm is disturbed. Professional honey bee removal is essential for maintaining safety, protecting property, and ensuring outdoor areas remain enjoyable.

1. Health and Safety Concerns

Bee stings can be painful and potentially cause severe allergic reactions. Professional bee control is essential to protect the health and safety of your family.

2. Avoiding Structural Damage

Bees that establish nests in walls or attics can lead to considerable damage over time. Prompt removal is necessary to avoid expensive repairs and preserve your home’s structure.

3. Protecting Outdoor Activities

Bees in gardens or patios can disrupt outdoor activities. Removing them ensures that outdoor spaces are safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Important Notes:

  • 1

    Swarm Management: If you spot a honey bee swarm on a tree, shrub, or near your home, it’s usually best to leave it undisturbed. Swarms often relocate on their own. Ensure that you and others maintain a safe distance to prevent any disturbances.

  • 2

    Health Hazards: When a swarm is in a high-traffic area or poses a health risk, it’s essential to get professional help immediately. This is especially critical in public spaces where the risk of disturbance is higher.

  • 3

    Addressing Established Colonies: If bees have settled in your home’s siding, chimney, or soffits, it’s crucial to act quickly before they start producing honey and causing more significant problems.

HOW TO SPOT HONEY BEE ACTIVITY

Honey Bee Hive - Honey Bee Removal

Honey bees can be hard to spot, but certain signs can indicate their presence. Identifying these signs is key for effective bee control. Watch for the following indicators:

1. Distinctive Behaviors

Honey bee swarms, led by a queen, consist of hundreds to thousands of bees. They often briefly fly before clustering on tree branches, shrubs, or structures.

2. Signs of Swarming

Swarms may remain in one location for hours to several days, depending on conditions and the time needed for scout bees to find a new nest. Once found, the swarm relocates.

3. Increased Activity

Honey bees don’t leave typical tracks, but you may notice more activity around flowers, gardens, and potential nesting sites. Bee droppings may also appear near the hive or on surfaces below their flight path.

MAIN ISSUES

  • Saftey

  • Damage of Property

Knowledgeable, careful, and insightful- I had the opportunity to meet with Nicole Spaulding from Bobcat Wildlife and Pest Management to learn more of what she does and to ask questions about their industry, fearing it affected my own (outdoor aquatic stock growth).

She took the time to share with me the ins-and-outs of her industry, genuinely caring for my concerns, resolving them completely in the end.
