Gotha Windermere Bee Removal in Cemetery Tree

Boy if these pics don't fit the bill..Here we are treating a Honey Bee colony residing in a Gotha or Windermere Fla., cemetery. The storm clouds were rushing in quick, lightning off in the distance, and a mean bunch of Africanized Honey Bees, (aka Killer Bees or AHB) were not happy that we were depopulating the colony.

Windermere Bee Removal from Tree in Cemetery

Very dark and foreboding mood, as i suppose it should be as we are eradicating a colony of very interesting and beneficial insects. But alas, along with the good comes the bad, these bees were very defensive, stinging grounds personnel working nearby. It's just not something that can be allowed to continue, as human lives take precendence above individual bee colonies.

Windermere Bees in Attic!

If you've read our blog here at ALLFloridaBeeRemoval.com, you know that we write about the behavioral differences seen between the more defensive Africanized Honey Bees (AHB), and the mostly gentle European Honey Bees (EHB). One more interesting difference we see is in nesting site selection. Most EHB prefer to nest in enclosed spaces or voids, that simulate their natural nesting sites, hollows of trees, with small openings. These protected voids make it much easier to pack away honey and pollen bee bread for the cold winters.

AHB will build ANYWHERE!!! and we've seen a much higher proportion of nests being built inside attics, and often in attics that are very large with much cubic volume. AHB readily build external nests, hanging off of trees and such, so an attic is not much different. Take a look at this Windermere Honey Bee nest that is built inside of an attic:

Windermere Honey Bee Swarm

Windermere Honey Bee Swarm

Honey Bees, both European and African, aka Killer Bees, issue swarms from existing bee nests either as a means of colony reproduction, or possibly to help remove pathogens & parasites from the colony.

About 5000 Killer Bees under frond

One interesting observation we've been noting, is the increasing numbers of swarms during months when we shouldn't be seeing any, or at least few swarms. Take this swarm in the photo. It landed on a client's palmetto in Windermere, Fla., yesterday, Sept 8., way, way beyond the normal season of February to May.

Bees are hidden under the frond

Why are we seeing more swarms, throughout the year? African Bees 'tis the answer. Yes, we've been seeing plenty of Windermere Killer Bee Swarms, all the way up to the Ocala area this year. And some of them have been quite testy, stinging us 'full-on" as we approach the swarm.
