Don't try this!
This was a really good one. Our client was attacked by what he thought were ground hornets while mowing his lawn. Being the handy-do-it-selfer family man he is, he set out to take care of these pesky critters.
So, he first attempted to burn them out. set fire to the grass covering the nest opening and nearly started a forest fire! Next up was a week long campaign to dowse them with insecticide, which resulted in small reduction in population AND very angry bees. You see, these weren't hornets, but actually they were Bumble Bees!

Bumble bees often nest in abandoned rodent burrows as seen here. They can number in the hundreds per colony, and can be very defensive girls, rivaling Killer Bees (African Honey Bees, actually), in the distance that they will chase victims. It's not unusual to receive 50 stings before one runs the several hundred feet to get away.

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 fatalities occur in Florida because of improper stinging insect removal techniques.

Lake City Bumble Bee treatment and removal


Lake City Bumble Bee nest under shed
Here's a photo of a shed in a Lake City Back yard that had a very large Bumble Bee nest underneath the floor. if you look closely, you can see the unmowed strip of grass. That's because the client had to stop mowing and RUN when he was attacked by lots of defensive Bumble bees. Lucky for him, he's fast, because he's very allergic to bee and wasp venom!

We treated and removed this bumble bee nest, and he doesn't have to worry about getitng stung again.

Marion County Bumble Bee removal

This photo shows me holding the pupal cases from a Bumble Bee nest that was located in a Citra, FL., cabbage palm tree.

Bumble bee nests are really cool looking, loosely constructed with lots of the egg looking shapes, which are actually developing pupae, the metamorphosis stage between larvae grub and adult with wings.

This nest of at least 150 adults was particularly defensive, stinging the homeowner, her dogs and even peacocks! The bumble bees chased her over 300 feet into her house. She tried to treat them at night, and they even followed her and stung her again!
