Orlando Bee Control in Tree Nesting Box

Orlando Bee Control in Tree Nesting Box
Honey bees, both Africanized & European subspecies, often build their nests in wildlife nesting boxes. These are boxes that are specially designed for many types of birds, otters, and other wildlife.

When used by wildlife for rearing young, they remain bee-free, but once the wildlife abandons the box, it becomes fair game for a roving bee swarm to set up shop!

Please, don't attempt a removal of bees, as they can be deadly, even swarms have attacked us since Killer Bees are now here. We've had fatalities occur in Florida because of improper stinging insect removal techniques.

Contact the Stinging Insect Experts at 321-206-5100 or 1-800-343-5317 or submit a bee removal FREE inspection here!

Titusville Bee Removal from an Owl nesting Box

Many folks keep wildlife or bird nesting boxes in their landscape and enjoy watching the activity as the young mature. Some even like to watch unintended inhabitants, including Honey Bee colonies, which often move in after the wildlife nesting activity ceases. While it may seem to be cool to host Honey Bees in your nesting box, clients often find that these feral bees cause quite a 'buzz' of a problem!

Feral Honey Bees are increasingly Africanized in genetic composition. Yep, these are the notorious "Killer Bees" or Africanized Honey Bee (AHB) that were introduced into Florida about 10 years ago and are spreading further north. While a new colony of Killer Bees may start our nice and gentle, when the colony gets large, such as this Titusville Bee Removal pic shows, they can get mean as fire!

Just last month we removed a colony of bees from an owl nesting box that stung a client so badly, she had to jump in her backyard pool to seek relief. We don't recommend that, as the bees will hang around, and sting you when you come up for air! She found that out quickly and made a quick dash into her back porch, suffering over 100 stings. She is lucky to be alive.

So folks, If you need Titusville Bee Removal, or any honey bee removals, call us at 321-206-5100 or 1-800-343-5317 toll free for The Stinging Insect Experts!

Pinellas County Bees in Bird Nest Box

One of the interesting African Honey Bee (AHB or "Killer Bee") behaviours we have been documenting, is their preference for voids that are smaller than what European Honey Bees (EHB) would choose to build nests in.

This photo shows honey bees, which are likely AHB, nesting inside a bird nest box.
