South Tampa Bee Removal From Shed Floor

Since the influx of African Honey Bees, ( AHB, Africanized Honey Bees, or Killer Bees), we have seen a spike in the numbers of bee removals where bee colonies are located near the ground. Shed floors are a favorite of Killer Bees, as most sheds are supported by 2X4 or 2X6 floor joists, providing a wonderful, protected area for the honey bees to flourish!

This pics are from a South Tampa Bee Removal we completed earlier today. As you can see, there is a LOT of comb, bees , honey and brood present. It's very important to remove all of the nest, otherwise re-infestation WILL happen!

Don't bee like many clients, who tried repeatedly to eradicate bee colonies located under shed floors and suffered sting incidents, repeated infestations, and excessive cost.

Oldsmar Bee Removal from Children's Playhouse

And yet another Africanized Honey Bee (AHB or Killer Bee) trait that we are documenting here in Florida, is the high number of AHB colonies that are built in or close to the ground. One of the most common locations near ground, is under the floor boards of children's playsets. Here's a pic of a typical Killer Bee infestation site from Oldsmar, Florida.

These nesting locations are particularly worrisome, as these bee colonies can be extremely defensive, increasing the sting risk for humans and pets that are nearby and of course, the humans that use these play sets are usually children, who cannot tolerate many stings from bees or other stinging insects.

Here is a photo closeup of the nest itself. Note that this race of the Honey Bee can build nest material in very small spaces. They readily defend the nest, often with thousands of bees, and can overwhelm a child in moments.

Please... do not attempt control of these Africanized Honey Bees, as you can elevate the sting risk, and cause other issues as well. Call us at 1-800-343-5317 for expert, licensed and insured Oldsmar bee removals (And throughout the state of Florida as well).

Pinellas County Bees in Bird Nest Box

One of the interesting African Honey Bee (AHB or "Killer Bee") behaviours we have been documenting, is their preference for voids that are smaller than what European Honey Bees (EHB) would choose to build nests in.

This photo shows honey bees, which are likely AHB, nesting inside a bird nest box.
