St. Petersburg Bee Removal - Bees Clustering on sign

This is something that we see, or hope to see after we finish a job. We performed a bee removal from a water meter for the city of St. Petersburg, Fla. Africanized Honey Bees, aka Killer Bees or AHB, prefer to nest in or near the ground, and water meters are a very popular spot for them.

After we perform the removals, we place a warning sign, and the bees clustered on the sign! Bees will cluster when their colony is disturbed, at least that's what 'normal' bees will do. They are simply regrouping and figuring out what to do next.

But here's the kicker: We are finding that many killer bees (AHB) will not cluster, instead, remaining aloft in a disturbed, defensive position. This makes our job of protecting the public and pets much more difficult, and YOUR choice of a suitable bee removal firm that much more important!

Starke Bee Removal from FP&L Electric Pole

We perform bee removals for most of the Electric & Water Utilities in the State of Florida. They understand the importance associated with doing this work correctly, after all, improper treatments by less experienced operators can cause bee colonies to become quite defensive, and 80 feet above the ground is no place to be attacked by Bees!

This is a photo from a job we did for Florida Power &Light yesterday, during the epic storms that ravaged Florida. A lift truck was used to raise us to the tippy-top of the pole, where a colony of bees was inhabiting a Wood Pecker nesting hole. This is an increasing problem for utilities, as Africanized (Killer) Bees readily build colonies in these voids.

Call us at 1-800-343-5317 for your Honey Bee Removal jobs. After all, if Electric Utilities depend on us for proper bee removals, so can you!

The Villages Honey Bees in Water Meter

Bee Nest in Water Meter
One of the ways we can track the movement of African Honey Bees (AHB), aka Killer Bees, is by the nesting locations of service calls we receive. When we get a call where bees are nesting in a water meter, the probability if very high that these bees are AHB, and appropriate caution is advised, as this subspecies of Honey Bee can get very defensive, threatening people and pets.

What's really concerning me is the frequency of UNLICENSED operators attempting removal of these bee colonies. This photo shows a Honey Bee nest in a Villages water meter that a lawn care operator attempted to remove. He tried spraying alcohol on the bees, and when that didn't work, just left, leaving the lid open to robber bees from other bee colonies, which can make bees very, very defensive, leading to mass stinging events.

To top it off, he wanted to charge the client $100 for the removal. He's not licensed as a pest control operator, doesn't carry insurance, and put the homeowner at risk for a death or injury from a bee sting. Remember, many people are so allergic, that one sting can kill.

Please, contact us at 800.343.5317 for proper bee removal in the Villages, Lady Lake,  or anywhere in Florida.

Apopka water meter honey bee removal

fAfrican Honey Bees, aka Killer Bees, readily build colonies near ground voids, and water meter boxes are a very common location for them to build nests.

We've been seeing a growing population of African Killer Bees in Apopka for a couple years now, and perform water meter bee removals for many water utilities and municipalities throughout Florida.
The client elected for a bee eradication in this case, as the colony was queenless and in decline. Often we can perform live bee removals, but we have to bee exteremely careful, as the liability for us AND the property owner can be immense, as about 2% is so allergic that they stop breathing within minutes after just ONE sting!

Please, if you find a colony of bees in your water meter, call the Stinging Insect Experts at ALLFloridaBeeRemoval.com , 800-343-5317 for expert removal of your bee problem. We are licensed, insured and considered leaders in the bee removal world.
