Leesburg Bee Removal: Huge External Bee Nest on Tree

This is a real treat, a HUGE External Honey Bee Colony located on a tree trunk in Leesburg, Fla.

Can you see this Leesburg Honey Bee Nest in the Tree?

It's not everyday we find such large bee colonies, so we took a few pictures to show you the beauty of the comb sructure. Note how dark the inner plates are, that's where the bee colony concentrated the bee 'nursery', laying eggs and raising the young, or brood of the colony.

Most feral bee colonies in Leesburg are now Africanized, or Killer Bees and these did indeed test out at a high probability of being Killer Bees. A nest this size could easily hold 40-75 THOUSAND honey bees, and improper treatment or removal could threaten an entire neighborhood.

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.

Sorrento Honey Bee infestation in Garage Wall

Many of the Honey Bee infestation calls we receive are for nests that are built in garage walls, much like the photo below.

Because insulation is rarely installed in these out-walls, there is ample space for bees and other critters to reside in, and if left alone, up to 200 POUNDS of honey, pollen, wax and bees can fill the wall void within a few months! Plus, we are seeing increased defensiveness associated with the Africanized Honey Bees that are expanding throughout Florida. Lake County has some particularly 'mean' bees.

Howey-In-the-Hills Bee Swarm in an Amphora

Definitely something I don't see everyday... a honey bee swarm had decided to take up residence in this decorative Amphora:

Howey in the Hills Bee Swarm

 Amphorae were used by ancient Greeks to store and transport liquids, grains and other valuables. What's really cool is that pottery similar to amphorae were used for honey bee cultivation and shipping of the most valuable bee product, honey!

This Howey-In-The-Hills honey bee swarm decided to move into this container and was quickly removed by the ALLFloridaBeeRemoval.com team. Call us for bee swarm remvoval at 1-800-343-5317
