Carpenter Bees, Bumble Bees, and Honeybees are beneficial insects. Bees help to pollinate crops which is good for the ecosystem. The problem with bees is they will sting when provoked and are defending themselves.
Due to their robust size and length (about 1") loud buzzing, and hovering in the air, they pose a serious threat to people. Our fast and effective Bee Removal Service will get rid of the threat they present!
Carpenter Bees
Just like carpenter ants and termites, carpenter bees will damage your wooden structure by drilling circular holes in wooden structures.
They are shiny black and yellow in color. 1/4-1 inch in size.
The male bees do not sting, but they are territorial and will hover closely to people. The female bees will sting only if they are provoked.
If left untreated, carpenter bees will repeatedly bore holes throughout the wooden structure causing thousands in damages.
Carpenter bees are beneficial insects as they pollinate crops and plants.
Large carpenter bees excavate dry, unpainted and weathered wooden objects such as the following: doors, children's playground, decks, windowsills, railings, poles, and fences.
Honeybees
Honeybees get their common name from the honey they make using the nectar of flowers.
They are social insects found all over the world and are extremely beneficial because of their role in pollination.
Honeybees are active pollinators and produce honey which feeds their young in colder months. Honeybees are the only social insect whose colony can survive many years.
Honeybees produce honey from pollen and nectar of the plants they pollinate. They store the honey in honeycombs in their nests. They often build their nests in tree crevices but will occasionally build nests in attics or chimneys.
Honeybees do sting, but they only sting once. The sting can be extremely painful if the stinger is not immediately removed from the skin. Persons allergic to insect stings will have a more severe reaction.
Bumble Bee
Bumble bees are beneficial insects because they pollinate crops and plants.
Black with yellow stripes
The occupant of a disturbed bumble bee nest will buzz in a loud volume. They defend their nests aggressively.
Bumble bees often nest in the ground but can be found above ground around patio areas or decks. They will sometimes build their nest in soffits of attics.
As part of their aggressive defense of their nests, bumble bees will chase nest invaders for a considerable distance. The bumble bee sting is one of the most painful. Unlike honeybees, bumble bees can sting more than once.
