Live bee removal - Tampa bee removal


This large nest was 45 feet in a tree at Philippe Park, in  Safety Harbor Florida.

This is a nest cut out of a branch from a tree 45 feet in the air! This bee nest was located in Philippe Park, in Saftey Harbor, Florida. This nest contained thousands of bees and has been there for over 6 months. The size is massive for being a nest relying on a 6 inch thick tree branch to hold its self so high up in the air. If you have any honey bees in your tree, even though they are high up, they are still a threat to yourself and people walking by or surrounding. To get a quote or schedule an appointment call the stinging insect experts at All Florida Bee Removal.

Tampa Honey Bees in a Tree-Hole

Tampa Killer Bees in Tree-Hole


Bees LOVE to build their nests in Tree holes.. the holes you see in larger trees, often where a limb used to be. Many trees are hollow inside and can have dozens of feet of a nice, insulated void for the bee colony to build it's nest of wax, pollen, honey and baby bees.

These nests can number over 50 thousand individuals, and often become rather ornery or flat-out mean, stinging people, pets and passer-bys.

Please, don't attempt a treatment or removal of these Tampa bees, as most are now Africanized, AKA "Killer Bees", and you can incite a neighborhood-wide stinging event that can last for days!We've had fatalities occur in Florida because of improper stinging insect removal techniques.

Tampa Honey Bee Swarm

Tampa Bee Swarm!!!! 

With such a mild winter the honey bees in Florida are starting to swarm. All over the Tampa Bay Area, existing honey bee colonies are growing in numbers, thus too many occupants. When this happens, the bees are waiting for a good rain, followed by sunny days with little wind.


Tampa bee swarm in a bush. Bees located in the Carrollwood area of Tampa, the main colony located only 10 feet from the swarm. Small swarms tells us this colony could be the African Killer Bee. African bees are know for their small swarms.


Folks, If you have a honey bee swarm, please give us a call to
discuss your options. You may need to do nothing but watch these wonderful
critters for a day or so, before they find another, permanent site. Or, in some
cases, it's best for us, The Stinging Insect Specialists to
remove them for you.


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.

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!
Tampa Shed Bee Removal

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.

Bees Love to build under shed floors!
Call the Stinging Insect Experts at 1-800-343-5317 or in Tampa/Hillsborough 813-930-BUGS (2847) for fast, competent Tampa Bee Removal from licensed, insured experts!

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.

Please, do not attempt to remove colonies of Honey Bees that are found in bird or wildlife nesting boxes. Give us a call at 1-800-343-5317 for professional, licensed and fast removals.

Tampa Yellowjacket nest removal


Isn't this a cool photo of a Tampa yellow jacket nest? We get lots of calls for yellow jacket or ground bee removals in late summer, as the colonies have plenty of insect prey to support quick growth of the nests. This nest had about 10,000 !!! yellowjackets and would have grown tremendously even by labor day. Self treating a nest this size could result in many stings, so we don't recommend using things like wasp spray, gasoline or other such treatments. Call us at (855) 930.BEES or visit ALLFloridaBeeRemoval.com for guaranteed, proper, professional treatment by your stinging insect specialists!
