Rockledge Bee Removal gone wrong. Bee Poo all over window

The picture above shows what happens when a bee colony that is present inside a wall, is blocked in, by someone sealing up the opening that leads to outside. Bees will find a way out.. and if it's not an 'outside out', they will readily find small openings that lead into the interior of the structure. And when bees have been holding their, um.... or in other words, when they gots to go, they go! And go they went in this house.. all over the windows, furniture, floor. Not pretty.

Merritt Island Bee Removal Bees in Tree Hole

Honey Bees really, really like to build nests in Tree Holes, the hollows that are in many of the larger trees in our landscapes. Ok, they probably don't "like" to build them, but tree holes are a natural, safe environment for honey bees and we find many pest colonies of bees residing in tree holes.

Bees in Merritt Island Tree Hole

Now, many of our clients would like us to do a live removal, and relocate the bee colony to one of our apiaries. It breaks some hearts when we explain that the only way one can do a True Live Bee Removal from a tree hole, is to cut the portion of the tree away where the colony is located and then cut that portion open to get at the nest. Most clients really don't want to remove their trees, so the only option available is  to terminate the bee colony.

Some might ask, "Why don't you leave the honey bee colony where it is? After all we are losing bee populations, right? Well, yes we've had increased mortality in our managed honey bees, those that we keep in white boxes. However, most of the bees we encounter in yards, buildings, etc., at least here in Florida, are not bees that we really want to keep in our white hive boxes. Most wild or feral bees have 'mixed-up' genetics, and make poor candidates for serious beekeepers. Worse yet, the numbers of Africanized (or African, or Killer Bees) are shooting through the roof here in Florida, with increases in bee attacks occuring. Trying live removals of feral bees located in or around humans is frought with danger and liability risk. It's something that we are doing less and less of every day.

And leave that colony in the tree, and odds are, as the colony increases in size, your risk for sting incidents go higher too. Daily, we field calls from folks who suffer stings from bee colonies that were very docile. Something happens to make the colony more defensive and POW!, your Saturday morning chores are put on hold as you spend the weekend in the hospital, recovering from an overload of bee venom.

More Orlando Bees in a Tree Hole

These Orlando Honey Bees were stinging the lawn crews as they performed lawn maintenance and even went after the mail delivery trucks!

Orlando bees in Tree

It's likely these are AHB or Killer Bees, as we are seeing more Africanized Honey Bee genetics spreading throughout Central Florida.

Sometimes folks want us to relocate bees that are in tree holes and have a hard time understanding that there is really no way to save a colony if it's residing inside the tree hollow....unless one is willing to cut the tree down!

Please, if you have a bee colony in a tree hole, or anywhere, don't attempt a removal yourself. Call the Stinging Insect Specialists at 1-800-343-5317 or 321-206-5100 in Central Florida.

New Smyrna Beach Bee Removal from Attic

We often write how bees prefer to live in protected confines such as hollow tree holes, block walls, water meters and other similar places where the void offers protection from marauding invaders from other bee colonies, racoons and teenage boys! We even see them in Bird Nesting Boxes!

Even external honey bee colony locations, such as under tree limbs, highway overpasses, and soffits are becoming increasingly common sites for honey bee colonies to build nests.

New Smyrna Bees In Attic

Attics remain an unusual place for honey bee colonies to build, however it is becoming an ever increasing site, as the numbers of Africanized Honey Bees, (AHB, African Honey Bees or Killer Bees) continue to move further north, here in the State of Florida. New Smyrna Bee Removals are increasing as well, and boy are we seeing some evidence of Killer Bees.

It's not unusual, when performing New Smyrna Bee Removals, to encounter very fierce Bees, and we have 'marked' several neighborhoods as being the top spots for mean bees. Timberlane, Turnbull and Riverside Drive in New Smyrna have been particular hotspots. If you encounter bees in these areas, please bee careful!

Orlando Bees in a Tree Hole

One of a honey bee colony's favorite locations to build a nest, is in the interior of trees. Most larger trees will have a hollow core, and it's a perfect, safe and insulated place to set up shop!

Removing Bees in a tree hole, Orlando Fla.

This colony of bees had been threatening citizens at a local Orlando City Park, and because we are seeing higher numbers of Africanized Honey Bees, ( AHB or Killer Bees!), City, Town and County Governments have us perform proper bee removals in many locations so citizens can enjoy safe use of government facilities.

Folks are often surprised to learn that we are seeing increased numbers of mean, Africanized Bees in central Orlando and other Central Florida cities. These are not places to be trying relocations of honey bees. The sting risk to nearby humans and pets is significant. There are folks so allergic to venom, that one sting can send them to the Emergency Room! Some can even die from one or a few stings!
