Hornet Removal in Tallahassee

Small hornet nest removal from Tallahassee, Florida, the location was near a dog hotel and posed a threat towards the dogs. Florida Hornets are a large yellow-jacket wasp, and build arial nests, typically found in trees, structures, boat covers, & just about anywhere in the air. They start producing new nests in early summer, and by early fall they can be the size of a watermelon! If you have a problem with hornets and need them removed in Florida, call us at (855) 930.BEES

Water Meter Bee Removal in Orlando

Orlando Honey Bees in Water Meter

Honey Bee comb from water meter

The african honey bee has become a major problem in florida and is rapidly spreading.

African honey bees have a tendency to rapidly build their nests in small meter boxes. For example this colony in an Orlando meter box is a fairly new colony but has already accumulated 10 pounds of brood(immature bees).

In this colony very little honey was found, this is a common question because bees are supposed to make honey, right. Well the african colony is different not only in their aggression but also in their building nature, they produce mostly brood, which is the larvae stage of the bees and not as much honey, therefore they have more soldiers for there vastly growing army.

• This is the developing brewd which will emerge in a few days into fully grown adult bees. Multiple times a year the bees will swarm and look for new places to expand their colony and they due this rapidly which is a direct cause of the problem we are facing with the African "killer" Bee today.
  
  
  
  
  Please, don't attempt a removal of bees on your own. They can be deadly, even traveling african honey bee swarms have attacked us with no reason to be threatened. We've had fatalities occur in Florida because of improper stinging insect removal techniques. We perform bee removals for the state of Florida.

Tampa Bee Swarm

I consider a honey bee swarm to be a "wonder of the world", and if you've ever had the pleasure to be within this natural phenomenon, you know what I mean. Tens of thousands bees, seemingly confused and flying randomly, darkening the sky with their bodies... I'm sure this can cause fear amongst some, but this is social order and group decision making at it's finest.

This photo is of such an event, an Tampa bee swarm, occurring a couple days ago in late December. Traditionally, we would not expect such late swarms, as European honey bees typically swarm in early spring as colony populations increase rapidly. But lo and behold.. African honey bees swarm nearly all year long, and since they have been increasing in numbers in the Tampa area over the past few years, we are seeing many, many more swarming events occurring this time of year. And, more of these swarms are stinging clients, children and pets, so please don't attempt to treat or remove these. Call us at 800-343-5317 or email us at insectiq@gmail.com "Help, we need a bee swarm removal!!!" for quick, competent and reasonably priced bee removal services.

Palm Bay Honey Bee Nest removal from Tree

Palm Bay External Honey Bee Nest

Can you see the honey bee nest, exposed and in the palm frond? It looks like it has 3 'plates' of comb, and is what we consider an 'external' nest architecture.

Most European honey bees (the gentle, tame bee we keep in our white hive boxes) build nests inside cavities, such as hollow tree trunks and such. The African Honey Bee ( a wild subspecies that is illegal to keep here in Florida), readily builds such external nests. We now have so many wild African honey bees in Brevard County, that I tell beekeepers, if you want to catch wild bees, just put out empty cardboard boxes, as African bees will gladly appreciate your efforts and build a colony inside the box within a week or two!. 

We are encountering more and more 'mean' bees in Brevard, and we even have some neighborhoods noted with higher than average numbers of Africanized Honey Bees, meaning we have to practice very careful methods, so that we don't threaten neighbors and pets.

If you have a colony of pest honey bees or any stinging insect, please give us a call or email. I am a stinging insect entomologist, with years of education, experience and knowledge and can provide you with a proper removal so you never have to deal with an infestation again. I carry all licenses and insurance to protect you, my valuable client. Beware of unlicensed operators, often beekeepers, that are trying to earn extra money by performing improper removals, resulting in mass sting events that threaten residents with sting risk liabilities and damaged premises. 

Remember, bee removal is considered pest control, and any inspection, advice, or removal procedures require licenses. We have seen many citizens, wronged by unlicensed removals.  Don't get stung by an illegal operator, it could cost you thousands! 

Please, don't attempt a Brevard County Bee Removal, 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. I've written 2 blog posts about these dangerous bee removals.. go here and here to read this valuable information.. It might just save you and your neighbors from getting stung or spending hundreds of dollars too much!

Melbourne Bee Swarm in Tree

Melbourne, Fla Honey Bee Swarm

Here's a cool photo of a  Melbourne, Florida Honey Bee Swarm removal we performed for a property management firm. Notice how 'bunched up' the bees are, in and around a palm frond. Hard to believe you are seeing about 20,000 bees!

Often, we advise homeowners to 'wait & see' what the swarm will do, as most of the time these swarms are just temporary bivouacs, where the bees are just hanging out while a dedicated core group of scouts is out searching for a permanent location to move the swarm too. Often, this permanent location can be in a nearby tree hole, building wall, soffit or attic, or even ground voids such as meter boxes.

If the swarm moves away in a day or so, groovy! You likely will never have to deal with a swarm again. If they hang around for several days, approaching a week, please call us, as the swarm may be establishing permanent digs, and once colony construction continues, a once seemingly gentle swarm can turn into a very defensive bee nest of tens of thousands of honey bees, defending their new home. 

We are encountering more and more 'mean' bees in Brevard, and we even have some neighborhoods noted with higher than average numbers of Africanized Honey Bees, meaning we have to practice very careful methods, so that we don't threaten neighbors and pets.

Rockledge Fla. 'Killer' Bees Removal

Rockedge Fla Africanized Honey Bees Removal

I thought this was a pretty cool "Bees Eye View" picture of what we often encounter when working some of the meaner honey bees in Brevard County. They often will leave thousands of stingers in our suits, making our suits look like someone shook pepper over the suit! Look at the bee in the lower left hand corner!
