Ocala "On Top of the World" Bee Removal

Bees infest pallets in Ocala, Fla.

Honey Bees infest a pallet in Ocala, Fla, near On Top of the World Community. We are seeing many more bee infestations in this area of Marion County, and perform bee removals here very frequently. Many times these bees are located near residential areas, but in this case we were able to perform a live honey bee relocation, only because this was far removed from humans, livestock and pets. Africanized Honey Bees are a real concern for us in Marion County now, and mean bees are becoming more common.

Please, if you encounter a bee infestation, call us at 1-800-343-5317.

Marion County Honey Bee Swarm on Soffit

Here's a photo of a large Ocala Honey Bee Swarm that alighted on a home soffit, just outside the kitchen window!!

Marion County Honey Bee Swarm on soffit

Most swarms can appear dangerous, with thousands of flying bees during the time when a swarm is either landing or taking off for permanent digs. In most cases, swarms are not very defensive, though I wouldn't advise spraying them or doing the teenage boy thing--throwing rocks at them!! If you just leave them alone, they will usually leave within hours.

Sometimes though, honey bee swarms will attempt to build a nest right where you see them, or try to move into voids, such as this soffit.

If you have a swarm that persists for more than a couple days, give us a call at 1-800-343-5317 for expert bee swarm removal.

Dunnellon Killer Bee Removal in a Tree Hole

Bees LOVE Trees! We've all heard of the Winnie The Poo Bee Tree, right?
Well, this is one that Winnie had better stay away from, because it most likely houses African Honey Bees, aka Killer Bees! These bees were extremely defensive, stinging me so badly, that my bee suit was covered with stingers from my lower torso on up. They were hitting my helmet so hard it sounded like a popcorn popper!
These bees are nothing to mess with folks, and we are seeing them move further north with each passing year. Don't attempt to treat a bee tree yourself, as this client did. Can you see the burnt bark?..yeah, they tried to burn the bees out...didn't work :)
Call the professionals at ALLFloridaBeeRemoval.com , and we will treat you right, and the killer bees right too.. 800-343-5317, or send us an email here!

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!

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.
