Pinellas County Honey Bee Nest in Tree

Pinellas County Honey Bee Nest in Tree


We get many calls about Honey bee nests that are attached to tree branches and not inside a tree hole. Usually, these are Africanized Honey Bees( AHB or 'Killer Bees' in popular lexicon)


Such nests are dangerous if disturbed, or if they fall to the ground.and should be removed as soon as possible

The origins of wild honey bees found in Florida, are often comprised of Africanized Honey Bee sources. When a nest is newly formed it may be considered gentle and nearly non-defensive. But as the nest grows larger, the bees become more defensive and are often sonsidered 'mean'. We've had many clients experience mass stinging events when they are mowing, edging or some other activity that did not provoke stinging just a few days before. AHB can send thousands of Stinging workers to the percieved animal or human threat. Our European Honey Bees that are managed by beekeepers respond with only a few stinging workers

Archer FL, Free Hornet Nest Removal

Free Hornet Nest Recipient
Here's the latest recipient of our FREE Hornet Nest Removal program going on Right now!  Mrs. Anne Martenson, of Archer, called us because she was concerned about her 2 year old grandson, who walks underneath this Hornet nest every day, going out to get the mail. (He's a big boy!). You can see the nest up above her left shoulder.

Mrs. Martenson was so glad to hear that this Hornet nest qualified for our Free hornet nest program, she started crying, as her and her husband are on a very tight budget with Social Security being their primary source of income these days.

Jacksonville Yellow Jackets nearly cost this man his life:

Jacksonville: John Whittet was investigating a snake sighting in his backyard, when he was startled by hundreds of YellowJacket wasps. Within seconds they were covering his arm and attacking his face.
John's motorized wheelchair became stuck in sand as he tried to exit the area. He said to himself, " Oh Lord, this is going to be it".
ALLFloridaBeeRemoval.com removed John's yellow jacket nest today, and in the photo above, you can see John looking at the nest that nearly cost him his life.

Alachua Yellow Jacket Nest Removal

We received a call from a client in Alachua, one of the most beautiful towns in Florida! But alas, her beauty was being interupted by nasty, defensive YellowJacket wasps, who had decided to build an underground nest right in her front yard. She and her son had been stung and she needed the nest removed properly!

I was able to excavate the nest after treatment, and show you how cool these yellow jacket nests are. They are protected by an envelope of 'paper' that the wasps make from tree bark and saliva. The envelope protects the nest from water and other liquids, so if you try to pour hot water or gas down the hole, it usually doesnt work!

Bee safe, call the entomologists at http://ALLFloridaBeeRemoval.com for yellow jacket removals done Right! 800-343-5317

Tavares Yellow Jacket Removal

This is a Vespula maculifrons nest, aka the Eastern Yellowjacket. We don't see too many of these species of Yellowjackets in Central Florida, instead we see their cousin, Vespula squamosa, the Southern Yellowjacket, which can attain huge nest sizes of over One million individuals!

The Eastern Yellowjacket nests stay relatively small, maybe getting to the size of a large watermelon at their largest. They only have one queen per nest,which limits the reproductive output, hence the nest size as well.

This one was maybe the size of a large softball, but still had plenty of firepower, as I suffered a few stings myself!

Clermont Hornet Nest

Clermont Hornet and Yellow Jacket Removal

We are getting plenty of calls for Hornet removal, now that it's late summer. Hornets, (actually a large yellow jacket wasp), start building a paper nest in early spring, and in late summer and fall, become large enough to start stinging with force.
Hornet Control can be difficult, as the nests can contain up to about 500 individuals, with nearly all of them capable of delivering quite a wallop!
Don't risk getting stung, call the pros at http://ALLFloridaBeeRemoval.com 321-206-5100 or toll free at 800-343-5317

Tallahassee Hornet nest removal


We removed this small hornet nest in Tallahasee today. It was located near a dog hotel, and posed a threat to the doggies. Hornets here in Fla. are actually a large yellowjacket wasp, and build aerial nests off tree limbs, structures, under boat covers, just about anywhere. We start getting calls in summer, as the nests start getting larger, and by fall, this nest may have grown to a large watermellon size with several hundred individuals. For proper hornet removal in Florida, call us at 800-343-5317
