Honey Bees in A Tree

The abundance of bees in florida is astounding, the other crazy thing about the bees is the variety of places they can build their nests. These Bees overcome Florida's harsh weather and build an external colony. This is in a treea nd can still attack people. Many of these nests depending on their height require a lift to remove, Then there is the maze of getting the lift at the perfect angle due to the branches. If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

Swarm Removal in Palm Coast

We were doing our daily work in the City of Palm Coast when we came across a nice honey bee swarm on a Magnolia Tree.

Palm Coast Honey Bee Swarm

The neighbors were worried about the aggression levels of this swarm of maybe 10,000 bees so we were called for the removal. The bees weren't too aggressive but without the proper live removal techniques they could have hurt somebody. They were relocated to our apiary in Flagler County.If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

Live Removal In Kissimmee

Live Removals aren't so common now a days due to the increased amounts of African Bees. These increased amounts, make it dangerous to save due to our calm European Colonies, and also for the sake of the people.

Kissimmee Live Bee Removal from Birdhouse

We did this nest because we were sure that it was european, and docile so we went with our gut to save this colony, also due to the bird box it was safe.

African Honey Bees Still Swarm

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.

Saint Petersburg, Fl., Bee Removal from a water meter

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!

Honey Bees in Treeholes

Honey Bees really, really like to build nests in Tree Holes, the hollows that are in many of the larger trees in our landscapes. Ok, they probably don't "like" to build them, but tree holes are a natural, safe environment for honey bees and we find many pest colonies of bees residing in tree holes.

Bees in Merritt Island Tree Hole

Now, many of our clients would like us to do a live removal, and relocate the bee colony to one of our apiaries. It breaks some hearts when we explain that the only way one can do a True Live Bee Removal from a tree hole, is to cut the portion of the tree away where the colony is located and then cut that portion open to get at the nest. Most clients really don't want to remove their trees, so the only option available is  to terminate the bee colony.

Some might ask, "Why don't you leave the honey bee colony where it is? After all we are losing bee populations, right? Well, yes we've had increased mortality in our managed honey bees, those that we keep in white boxes. However, most of the bees we encounter in yards, buildings, etc., at least here in Florida, are not bees that we really want to keep in our white hive boxes. Most wild or feral bees have 'mixed-up' genetics, and make poor candidates for serious beekeepers. Worse yet, the numbers of Africanized (or African, or Killer Bees) are shooting through the roof here in Florida, with increases in bee attacks occuring. Trying live removals of feral bees located in or around humans is frought with danger and liability risk. It's something that we are doing less and less of every day.

And leave that colony in the tree, and odds are, as the colony increases in size, your risk for sting incidents go higher too. Daily, we field calls from folks who suffer stings from bee colonies that were very docile. Something happens to make the colony more defensive and POW!, your Saturday morning chores are put on hold as you spend the weekend in the hospital, recovering from an overload of bee venom.If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

Orlando Bee Swarms

A colony of honey bees can be likened to an organism, and the prime directive of organisms is to reproduce--and that is what a swarm is!! Bee colony reproduction! An existing colony sends out maybe 20,000 workers, drones and the queen, to go find a new place to build a colony and thrive.

Orlando bee swarm

Usually, but not always, these swarms are relatively docile, and are transitory, meaning they will leave in a few hours. Please, don't provoke them into a stinging incident, by self treating yourself. Give us a call, and we'll help you determine if you should have us remove them. In most cases, you won't have to do a thing, but wave as they leave. If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

Bees flying around plants in your yard?

Every Spring and summer, we get many people calling our lines, scared that they have killer bees because they are seeing thousands of bees, wasps, flies and other insects flying in and around their plants, visiting flowers and not exhibiting any coordinated group activity. We are not referring to 'honey bee swarms' which are different, and can be viewed here.

Honey Bee foraging on Flower

Normally when this happens the plants around your yard or garden are flowering. This is called "foraging". No fear here, the bees are not trying to find a new nest, and are not harmful so don't worry. If they are flying into your house then there may be a problem.


Think of it, many bees, wasps, flies and other insects are attracted to the nectar that flowers exude. In exchange for this high sugar flight fuel, the insect will inadvertently transfer some pollen between flowers, therefore helping to pollinate these plants. What could be more natural?

Though you may be intimidated by all the activity, my suggestion is to observe nature's splendor. The plant-insect relationship has taken millions of years to evolve, and it makes the world go round in one sense. In most cases the bees and wasps don't even notice that you are nearby. Once the flowers have finished providing the nectar, the activity will cease. And you've done your part in assisting nature.

Cocoa Beach Bee Swarm Removal

Here is a European Honey Bee Swarm, this is able to be easily identified as european by the quantity of bees. The African Honey Bees swarm more frequently, but in smaller groups.

Cocoa Beach Bee Removal Large bee swarm

This nest was relocated due to the fact we were almost 100% sure it was a safe and calm, also the house was in a remote area with neighbors over 100 feet away. With over 50,000 bees inside we had to use two hive box's to fit them all! It is nice to see the old school swarms still around, that are much more docile than African Killer Bee swarms. If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

Bees in a Bird Nesting Box in Pinellas County

We have been seeing throughout the last years that bees are finding new places to build there hives. This is mainly because the African Honey Bee tends to go for smaller voids than the European Honey Bee. So most of the smaller hives we have been dealing with have been the most aggressive ones. This nest is in a bird nesting box and is packed with African Killer Bees. If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

Bees in a Pine Tree In Ocala, FL

Here is a nest in Ocala, Fl 15ft up in a pine tree. This was a large nest (15 shelves of honeycomb) and was very active. These types of ness are classified as external colonies because they create their nests exterior, unlike bees who will make their nests in voids in walls of knotholes. This nest started out as a smaller bee swarm, and in the last year it has blossomed into a dangerous, oversized nest with potential harm for surroundings. This nest is located adjacent to a large manufacturing facility AND a school!. Children run through this natural area, and it's a disaster just waiting to happen. So, we've removed the nest, in a manner that minimizes bee activity after the removal. Most folks practicing this art seem to cast a blind eye to the numbers of bees that will cluster in the spot of the former nest, posing quite a danger to adults and children alike, as the bees get defensive and possibly stinging anything that moves. If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

HUGE African Bee Colony In Kissimmee Florida

Kissimmee HUGE Africanized Honey Bee Nest

 Here Is a huge African Honey Bee Nest in Kissimmee FL, as you can see it is very large and these are very hostile. To "save" this nest would not be practical because of the enormous size of the nest would be difficult because they are already established. Also to save this type of hive isn't suggested by the state of Florida because they can disrupt a normal European Honey Bee Colony. Please take caution if you see a hive of this size or even a smaller one because they are very dangerous.

African Killer Bees Video

Here is a video we took while working with an African Bee Colony and you can hear and even see the amount of aggressiveness that takes place in these colonies when we start to get in and remove them. They are very hostile and territorial, even before you mess with them they could come up and sting you. When saving the bees, it is not safe to save african bees, they are dangerous and can contaminate a whole bee yard with their aggressive genes.  If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

Bees swarm on a house, 20 ft in the Air!

The bees are still swarming in the Tampa area. They can create honey comb and get settled in rapidly. Swarming bees are looking for a new home for their nest, so the swarm is just the start of a new colony. These bees may have swarmed for 24-48 hours and have already made a good amount of honey comb.

As you can see there are 9 shelves honey comb(the rows of honey comb) on this soffit and the bees would have most likely have gone inside of the soffit and filled the void there with honey comb. If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

Bees in a Tree, Jacksonville, FL

Here is an african Bee Colony in Jacksonville, Florida. They have made their home in an old knot hole inside of a tree. We remove many nests like this, but the difference in our removals is they are done the correct way. We have re-done previously killed nests that have been re-habilitated by new bees because they were just killed and sealed with an expandable foam technique. This is not effective because rodents can get through that seal and then new bees move in. AllFloridaBeeRemoval's techniques are tested and proved to work the first time they are applied. It is important to remove the bees in your trees, expecially before you get an old tree cut down because when the tree falls they will be aggressive and will attack everything around them. Also due to the increased sightings of African Bees this is becoming more of a danger and you can be held accountable for this. If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

Bees Swarm on A Truck

We have seen many crazy bee swarms throughout the years. This swarm was in Palm Harbor, on the wheel well of an F250 truck above its tire. This obviously wouldn't "bee" a good place to build an external nest, but it is still dangerous because if they get irritated the colony can attack anything nearby. Instead of just driving off in the truck with a probability of hurting others, they called us to remove it properly with no harm being done to anybody. Due to the increasing number of african storms this is very dangerous, these bees were aggressive and ready to fight. Please call us if you come into contact with any bees.

Bees swarm in New Port Richey!

Have you heard about the recent bee stories in Florida? We have been getting calls about many of these bee swarms, yesterday we saw these bees swarming in a golfing community in New Port Richey. This was a massive swarm which took over a nearby tree. They were even weighing down one of the branches. This swarm didnt stay on this tree but it most likely went to another tree nearby or a house nearby, we will find out later this week if we get another call. What is important about this is the larger the swarm is the larger the home hive is which is scary considering that there is a giant hive nearby where this was located. If you are noticing many bee swarms or african bee swarms, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.
