Although honey bees are very beneficial
to agriculture, they make lousy house guests. If you're
looking on our site about bees you probably have one
or the other following problems.
The first is you see a big ball
of bees on a tree, a bush or on the side of the house
all clumped together. This is known as a resting
swarm. These bees will leave on their own within
a couple of days. We know it can be troubling to see
this but we don't like to kill bees if it is not needed.
If this resting swarm is an immediate threat to someone's
safety or you just want to have it removed we will
come out and do the service, but we will need to determine
a few things first. If that is not what you see then
you're seeing bees going in and out of your house.
This means they have already set up a hive and the
sooner you remove it the better. Bees can build honey
comb very quickly and the more there is, the more
it costs to remove.
Bee jobs are a two step process,
the first step is to do a kill, then the
removal, if needed. We can determine this when
we're out there. Bee jobs need to be bid by the technician
once the problem is seen and assessed. We can give
you ball park prices over the phone, but with the
removal we need to see it.
A lot of people are afraid of the
Africanized Bee, which is quite a bit more
aggressive than the European Honey Bee. However, sting
wise they are the same as the regular honey bee. For
