Tampa Honey Bee Swarm

Tampa Bee Swarm!!!! 

With such a mild winter the honey bees in Florida are starting to swarm. All over the Tampa Bay Area, existing honey bee colonies are growing in numbers, thus too many occupants. When this happens, the bees are waiting for a good rain, followed by sunny days with little wind.

Tampa bee swarm in a bush. Bees located in the Carrollwood area of Tampa, the main colony located only 10 feet from the swarm. Small swarms tells us this colony could be the African Killer Bee. African bees are know for their small swarms.

Large External Africanized Killer Bee Nest in Tree

Take a look at this very large "External" honey bee nest. It's a sight we see more often now, as most of our wild honey bee colonies are Africanized Honey Bees, otherwise known as "Killer Bees". This colony of bees behaved nicely for about a year or so, until one day, the yard crew suffered numerous stings. Luckily, no serious injury occurred..this time. 

We were called in to perform this removal, in a professional manner, so the property owner could sleep easily, knowing his neighbors would not get stung by angry bees!

Orlando Honey Bee Swarm - Captured!

Orlando Live Honey Bee Swarm Relocation

We've been blessed with a mild winter, and our honey bees have been able to feed very well during this time, which means one thing: IT"S SWARM SEASON!!!!

All over central Florida, existing honey bee colonies are bursting at the seams, with too many occupants. When this happens, the bees are just waiting for a good rain, followed by sunny days with little wind. 

Orlando Bee Swarm on Fence

We experienced rain last Thursday and Friday, and yesterday was blue skies and little wind, which caused this swarm to issue from a honey bee nest.

The queen landed on a fence, making it easy for me to capture, and move all her daughters into a waiting hive box. We came back later in the night to remove the box to one of our apiaries.

Good luck queenie!!!!  My son even helped with beekeeper duties!

Orlando Bee Removal

Honey bees will build nests just about anywhere, as shown by our technician, Jason Deeringer, who is also Vice-President of the Orange Blossom Beekeepers Association:

Orlando Bee Removal

This removal was actually TWO bee nests located under the same stilt house. One colony was very gentle..the other colony..not so much. It was extremely defensive and our technicians suffered many honey bee stings performing the removal. We collected samples and the bees tested out at near 100% Africanized Honey Bees.

We rescue a Port St. Lucie Family from Africanized Honey Bees

Our expert South Florida team, Alpine Farms, headed by Ronnie Sharpton, comes to the rescue of a family, unemployed and facing imminent danger from an Africanized Honey Bee nest on their house.

The local CBS affiliate covered this removal:

"PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Thousands of bees made their home on the outside of a Port St. Lucie house. But the residents of that home are struggling financially and could not pay to get the problem solved, until they called CBS 12.
Alpine Farms, an extermination company based in Palm City, saw our report on the bee invasion at the Gonzalez home. They offered to remove the hives free of charge.
EARLIER: Unwanted guests: Bees invade Port St. Lucie home
Alpine Farms owner, Ronnie Sharpton, says the hive is difficult to get to because it's over a screened-in back porch that doesn't have a sturdy roof. He also says there is a 90 percent chance the bees are the aggressive africanized bees.
He estimates it took 40,000 bees six months to build the 60 pound hive.
"They are a lot more aggressive and in this case, they're more prone to nest on the outside," said Sharpton."

Sarasota bee removal

Bees will be swarming in a neighborhood near you:

Honey Bee Drone Comb; Sarasota, Fla.

This is wax comb from a recent Sarasota Bee Removal we performed today. The dark portion is mostly "drone" comb, reserved only for raising male bees, which are commonly called 'drones'.

This is a sign that honey bee colonies are actively building larger, in response to our recent warm temperatures.

Queens will be leading swarms in a couple weeks, looking for new sites to build colonies, and a healthy drone population assures that the queens will have males to mate with.
