Pinellas County Bee Removal - External bee nest in tree

Call now! 1-855-930-BEES

Pinellas County Honey Bee Nest in Tree


We get many calls about Honey bee nests that are attached to tree branches and not inside a tree hole. Usually, these are Africanized Honey Bees( AHB or 'Killer Bees' in popular lexicon)

Such nests are dangerous if disturbed, or if they fall to the ground.and should be removed as soon as possible

The origins of wild honey bees found in Florida, are often comprised of Africanized Honey Bee sources. When a nest is newly formed it may be considered gentle and nearly non-defensive. But as the nest grows larger, the bees become more defensive and are often considered 'mean'. We've had many clients experience mass stinging events when they are mowing, edging or some other activity that did not provoke stinging just a few days before. AHB can send thousands of Stinging workers to the perceived animal or human threat. Our European Honey Bees that are managed by beekeepers respond with only a few stinging workers.  Call now! 1-855-930-BEES

Pinellas DIY Bee Removal gone horribly wrong!

Folks, this is why you should consider hiring The Stinging Insect Experts to remove your bee removal job:

These clients assumed that a bit of insecticide would kill their bee colony located in their house wall. All they accomplished was irritating 50,000 bees and moving them INSIDE the house!

 What do bees do when they get inside a room? The leave lots of bee "POO" on windows, walls, furniture and more. And this excrement is very difficult to clean up.

This video shows bees flying around the interior room, bees on the wall and loads of bee frass (poo) covering every surface.

Please, don't attempt a Pinellas County Bee Removal, 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.

Pinellas Park Bee Removal - BIG External nest!

As we've been performing bee removals for over 15 years, we've seen lots of changes in honey bee behavior as the feral populations have shifted from mostly gentle European Honey Bees to often very defensive African subspecies of honey bees. Many call these Killer Bees, as they can certainly defend their colony with deadly force.

This is a photo of a honey bee nest and myself, posing for the camera! You may noticed that the bees are not attacking me in this picture, and many will assume that this means the colony is not an African or Killer Bee colony. In reality, these bees turned out to be extremely defensive, nearly covering my veil as I was working them, just showing how bees can seem to be gentle, and with what seems to be a small amount of provocation, they can turn mean as fire.

Please, do not attempt removals of bee nests such as this. We are Stinging Insect Entomologists, Certified Pest Control operators and Florida Registered Beekeepers. We take the stings so you don't have to! Call us at 1-800-343-5317 or schedule an appointment at our website,  ALLFloridaBeeRemoval.com

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.

Please, do not attempt to remove colonies of Honey Bees that are found in bird or wildlife nesting boxes. Give us a call at 1-800-343-5317 for professional, licensed and fast removals.

St. Petersburg Bee Removal - Bees Clustering on sign

This is something that we see, or hope to see after we finish a job. We performed a bee removal from a water meter for the city of St. Petersburg, Fla. Africanized Honey Bees, aka Killer Bees or AHB, prefer to nest in or near the ground, and water meters are a very popular spot for them.

After we perform the removals, we place a warning sign, and the bees clustered on the sign! Bees will cluster when their colony is disturbed, at least that's what 'normal' bees will do. They are simply regrouping and figuring out what to do next.

But here's the kicker: We are finding that many killer bees (AHB) will not cluster, instead, remaining aloft in a disturbed, defensive position. This makes our job of protecting the public and pets much more difficult, and YOUR choice of a suitable bee removal firm that much more important!
