Bees in a Tree in Ocala, FL

These Bees decided to not go with the normal "build your nest in a void" but instead to create an external honey bee nest. External honey bee nests normally arent so successful because it is more difficult to keep the temperatures correct and the bees are open to the environment.

This nest was quite successful, and at the time removal was at its prime. The nest weighed over 75 pounds and was very aggressive and plentiful. If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

Yellow Jacket Larger than Man

Don't Mess With These Yellow Jackets, Highly Dangerous

TAMPA, FL -

Jonathan Simkins is an expert in flying insects. He has a degree in entomology from the University of Florida, and has been working in the industry for more than twenty years.

Simkins is the owner of Insect I.Q.  He travels all over Florida to deal with honey bees, Africanized bees, yellow jackets and other stinging insects.

Recently, he faced the challenge of his life.

Simkins was called to a large, privately-owned tract of land in Central Florida to deal with a huge yellow jacket wasp nest.

"I have never seen a nest this large in my entire life," said Simkins.  "This is the prehistoric nest from the dinosaur ages."

He says the nest was more than six and half feet tall, and eight feet wide.  It may have contained more than a million insects.

"To put it into perspective, a nest we deal with on a day to day basis might have a thousand to five thousand," Simkins said.

Simkins shot his own video of the nest before he eradicated it.

As he approached the nest, the worker wasps attacked him and his equipment.

In the video you can hear hundreds of wasps hit the camera.  The buzzing is non-stop, and Simkins' voice is clearly tense.

"I have to be honest with you, I was terrified at one point, and there were several times that I had to pull out and get a breather. My heart rate was racing, I had hundreds of them on my veil," said Simkins.

He used a spray and his own technique to kill the entire nest.

Simkins says if someone had walked up to the nest unawares, and riled the wasps, they could have been killed..

"We definitely did save lives. This land is hunted.  It's leased out for hunters, if somebody comes across this, you're not going to get away.  You can see in the video, I run a hundred yards away and I sill have thousands of yellow jackets chasing me, all over me, trying to kill me," said Simkins.

The video ends the next day as Simkins walks up to the nest without his protective helmet on. Simkins stands next to the remains of the huge nest, and declares it dead.

Our honey bee swarm season continues here in Orlando, and throughout Florida. Honey bees live in a harmonious social structure that swells to maybe 50 THOUSAND adults during the spring blooming season. When colonies are bursting at the seam with such numbers, a swarm response occurs, where up to about half the colony's members will leave the nest in a coordinated issuance, flying around the nest area. The queen is coaxed to leave as well and the whole group is herded by a dedicated corps of 'scouts', that guide them to a new location to build a new colony. The sight of this swarming behavior is frightening to many, but if one stays quiet and moves little, one can observe a wonder of the world, for it still entertains and sets this seasoned entomologist to wonder. If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

DeLand Bee hive in Garage Wall

This colony of bees started building this nest about 2 weeks ago, gaining entry through a tiny gap around a plumbing hose bib. A hole only needs to be 1/4" to allow bees enough space to enter voids such as this uninsulated garage wall. Within months, this space could be filled with a hundred pounds of comb, honey, pollen and bees.

Bees in a Bird Nesting Box in Pinellas County

We have been seeing throughout the last years that bees are finding new places to build there hives. This is mainly because the African Honey Bee tends to go for smaller voids than the European Honey Bee. So most of the smaller hives we have been dealing with have been the most aggressive ones. This nest is in a bird nesting box and is packed with African Killer Bees. If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

Bees in a Pine Tree In Ocala, FL

Here is a nest in Ocala, Fl 15ft up in a pine tree. This was a large nest (15 shelves of honeycomb) and was very active. These types of ness are classified as external colonies because they create their nests exterior, unlike bees who will make their nests in voids in walls of knotholes. This nest started out as a smaller bee swarm, and in the last year it has blossomed into a dangerous, oversized nest with potential harm for surroundings. This nest is located adjacent to a large manufacturing facility AND a school!. Children run through this natural area, and it's a disaster just waiting to happen. So, we've removed the nest, in a manner that minimizes bee activity after the removal. Most folks practicing this art seem to cast a blind eye to the numbers of bees that will cluster in the spot of the former nest, posing quite a danger to adults and children alike, as the bees get defensive and possibly stinging anything that moves. If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

African Killer Bees Video

Here is a video we took while working with an African Bee Colony and you can hear and even see the amount of aggressiveness that takes place in these colonies when we start to get in and remove them. They are very hostile and territorial, even before you mess with them they could come up and sting you. When saving the bees, it is not safe to save african bees, they are dangerous and can contaminate a whole bee yard with their aggressive genes.  If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

Bees swarm on a house, 20 ft in the Air!

The bees are still swarming in the Tampa area. They can create honey comb and get settled in rapidly. Swarming bees are looking for a new home for their nest, so the swarm is just the start of a new colony. These bees may have swarmed for 24-48 hours and have already made a good amount of honey comb.

As you can see there are 9 shelves honey comb(the rows of honey comb) on this soffit and the bees would have most likely have gone inside of the soffit and filled the void there with honey comb. If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

Bees in a Tree, Jacksonville, FL

Here is an african Bee Colony in Jacksonville, Florida. They have made their home in an old knot hole inside of a tree. We remove many nests like this, but the difference in our removals is they are done the correct way. We have re-done previously killed nests that have been re-habilitated by new bees because they were just killed and sealed with an expandable foam technique. This is not effective because rodents can get through that seal and then new bees move in. AllFloridaBeeRemoval's techniques are tested and proved to work the first time they are applied. It is important to remove the bees in your trees, expecially before you get an old tree cut down because when the tree falls they will be aggressive and will attack everything around them. Also due to the increased sightings of African Bees this is becoming more of a danger and you can be held accountable for this. If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.
