Honey Bee

These are the bees that people most often associate with “bees.” They are also one of the most beneficial insects on the planet. Their role in pollination is vital to all sorts of fruit and vegetable crops. Bees in a hollow tree or beekeeper’s box are all well and good, but when they invade your home it can be a different story. Honey bees are capable of producing massive hives containing tens of thousands of workers and weighing hundreds of pounds.

When honey bees next inside a structure (such as your home) the nest is not at all visible. You’ll see them flying in and out at some small gap, crack, or crevice on the exterior of your house. Note: Please do not seal this entrance hole shut. Because they are so beneficial to man and the environment, every effort is made to take these bees alive and transport them to a safe, more suitable location. In a situation where this is not possible, the bees will be destroyed and their nest removed.
