Water Meter Bee Removal in Orlando

Orlando Honey Bees in Water Meter

Honey Bee comb from water meter

The african honey bee has become a major problem in florida and is rapidly spreading.

African honey bees have a tendency to rapidly build their nests in small meter boxes. For example this colony in an Orlando meter box is a fairly new colony but has already accumulated 10 pounds of brood(immature bees).

In this colony very little honey was found, this is a common question because bees are supposed to make honey, right. Well the african colony is different not only in their aggression but also in their building nature, they produce mostly brood, which is the larvae stage of the bees and not as much honey, therefore they have more soldiers for there vastly growing army.

• This is the developing brewd which will emerge in a few days into fully grown adult bees. Multiple times a year the bees will swarm and look for new places to expand their colony and they due this rapidly which is a direct cause of the problem we are facing with the African "killer" Bee today.
  
  
  
  
  Please, don't attempt a removal of bees on your own. They can be deadly, even traveling african honey bee swarms have attacked us with no reason to be threatened. We've had fatalities occur in Florida because of improper stinging insect removal techniques.

Tampa Bee Swarm

I consider a honey bee swarm to be a "wonder of the world", and if you've ever had the pleasure to be within this natural phenomenon, you know what I mean. Tens of thousands bees, seemingly confused and flying randomly, darkening the sky with their bodies... I'm sure this can cause fear amongst some, but this is social order and group decision making at it's finest.

This photo is of such an event, an Tampa bee swarm, occurring a couple days ago in late December. Traditionally, we would not expect such late swarms, as European honey bees typically swarm in early spring as colony populations increase rapidly. But lo and behold.. African honey bees swarm nearly all year long, and since they have been increasing in numbers in the Tampa area over the past few years, we are seeing many, many more swarming events occurring this time of year. And, more of these swarms are stinging clients, children and pets, so please don't attempt to treat or remove these. Call us at 800-343-5317 or email us at insectiq@gmail.com "Help, we need a bee swarm removal!!!" for quick, competent and reasonably priced bee removal services.
