Apopka Bee Removal: A few Bees? Surprise!



We receive plenty of phone calls and emails, where clients see 'just a few bees', entering a small hole in a wall or soffit, or just about any other void-containing structural areas.
Just a few Apopka Honey Bees on a wall??

We always advise the client that these few bees may indicate a lurking surprise, possibly a nest containing up to 60,000 honey bees and hundreds of pounds of comb, pollen, honey and bees!

Yeah, this is is a pic of a typical bee infestation, this one was above the master bedroom, and weighed several hundred pounds. Not good...
Apopka Bee Removal - What really lurks...

Please, don't attempt an Apopka 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.

Oakland Winter Garden Bee Removal

Honey bees seem to really like to build their nests in the eaves and soffits of homes. Sometimes, the nest is rather high, and can weigh several hundred pounds, requiring us to use a lift for proper removal.
Oakland Bee Removal from Soffit

Here you see us working a colony of honey bees in this stately Oakland, FL home. The owner had been having increasing problems with these bees, and after several failed attempts to kill the colony, she called us at ALLFloridaBeeRemoval.com to take care of her problem.

It's likely that these are Africanized Honey bees, otherwise known as Killer Bees. We are seeing more Killer Bees in the Winter Garden and Oakland area.

Please if you require Winter Garden Bee Removal or Oakland Bee Removal, call the Stinging Insect Professionals at 1-800-343-5317.

Cocoa Beach Bee Removal: Massive Honey Bee Swarm

This is a treat, a real old fashioned primary swarm in Coca Beach Florida. It's a treat because we rarely see large swarms anymore as most of our feral or wild bees in Brevard county are now Africanized Honey Bees, aka Killer Bees.

Numbering well over 50,000 individuals, we elected to hive this swarm into 2 hive boxes. It's rare for us to perform live bee removals in Cocoa Beach, but this was almost certainly European Honey Bees, just because of the large number of individuals. In addition, the risk factor was minimal as this yard was surrounded by dense vegetation and was several hundred feet away from the nearest neighbor.

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 many fatalities occur in Florida because of improper removal techniques. Contact the Stinging Insect Experts at 1-800-343-5317 or submit a bee swarm inquiry here!

Winter Park Bee Removal

 Winter Park Honey Bee Removal

This is a cool pic of a recent Winter Park Bee Removal we did. A swarm had recently landed in the soffit of the house, and as you can see, they are packed tightly together and building comb quickly. We were able to perform a live honey bee removal in this instance, as the colony was newly established, small, relatively gentle and we had decent setback and shrubbery, affording the neighbors some protection.

In Winter Park, we are starting to see African Honey Bees, aka Killer Bees moving in from the East, so we think it's important to proceed cautiously when faced with a honey bee infestation. These bees were are starting to see in Winter Park, are becoming more defensive, and pose quite a liability risk to property owners and managers. When considering structural bee removal, please consider only hiring a professional, meaning one who maintains a Florida Pest Control Business License, as a minimum, as if the worst happens, and a sting event occurs, you're assets will be much more protected, than if an unlicensed provider was hired.

And, just because someone hangs the word "beekeeper" after his or her name, don't assume he or she knows bees or is licensed and insured. We are seeing some very suspect characters getting into the bee removal business these days, and have been requested on emergency calls, after a "bee keeper" has attempted a removal. Please see my posts here and here, about beekeepers performing bee removals on structures. Remember, Fla. State Statute requires a pest control license to remove bee colonies from and around structures. The University of Florida Bee Entomologist AND the Florida Apiary Chief (head beekeeper) concur.... Protect yourself, your neighbors and your assets. Call us at 321-206-5100, 800-343-5317 or Send us an email, for professional bee removal from the Stinging Insect Experts at ALLFloridaBeeRemoval.com
