What Do Honey Bees Look Like?

This bee is known for its distinctive coloration, which warns predators of its ability to sting. Its body has alternating light and dark stripes, which are a key identifying feature. The head of a honey bee includes eyes, antennae, and feeding structures, with compound eyes that help interpret color, light, and directional information and simple eyes that help determine the degree of light present.

Honey bees are small, oval-shaped insects that typically measure about 1/2 to 5/8 inches in length. They have a light brown color with golden-yellow hues and brown bands, although some species may appear predominantly black. Their bodies are segmented, consisting of a stinger, legs, antennae, three thorax segments, and six visible abdomen segments.

Antennae are used to smell and detect odors and measure the bee’s flight speed. Male and female honey bees can be distinguished by the number of visible abdominal sections, with females having six and males having seven.

How Can You Tell a Honey Bee From a Bumblebee?

Honey bees and bumblebees are two distinct types of bees that differ in appearance, behavior, and habits. Bumblebees are larger, rounder, and fuzzier, with varied coloration, while honey bees are smaller, slender, and smooth, with uniform yellow and brown colors. Bumblebees are solitary, with females responsible for foraging and caring for young, whereas honey bees live in colonies with a queen and worker bees.

Bumblebees gather nectar and pollen for immediate consumption, while honey bees gather resources to produce and store honey in hives. They also differ in distribution, with bumblebees found in temperate regions and honey bees kept globally for honey production. Another important distinction is the honey bee’s ability to sting only once. This differs from the bumblebee population, which can string multiple times.

What Should You Do When You Discover a Honey Bee Swarm On Your Property?

When you discover a honey bee swarm on your property, it’s important to take appropriate steps to ensure your safety and the well-being of the bees.

Here’s what you should do:

• Don’t panic: Honey bee swarms are generally not aggressive in swarm mode. Avoid panicking or making sudden movements that could agitate the bees.
• Keep your distance: Maintain a safe distance from the swarm. Bees may become defensive if they feel threatened, so avoid getting too close.
• Don’t disturb the swarm: Don’t attempt to disturb or provoke the swarm in any way, including spraying them with water or chemicals, throwing objects at them, or making loud noises.
• Avoid swatting or killing bees: Swatting at bees or attempting to kill them can provoke defensive behavior and increase the risk of stings.
• Warn others and protect pets and children: If the swarm is in a public area or near neighbors, consider putting up signs or alerting others to its presence to prevent accidental disturbances. Keep pets and children indoors or away from the area where the swarm is located until it’s safely removed.

The Unique Challenge of Honey Bee Removal

While removing various bee species, wasps, and hornets from residential and commercial spaces is our specialty, honey bee removal presents unique challenges. Unlike other stinging insects, honey bees are essential pollinators vital to our ecosystem, making their safe removal paramount. Rest assured, we take the humane and bee-friendly approach whenever possible.

When you encounter a swarm or colony of honey bees on your property, it's easy to feel concerned about their choice of location. While it's true that honey-producing bees are notoriously challenging to relocate once they've settled in, it doesn't mean we can't get the job done. With years and years of experience, we're confident in our ability to execute a safe and successful bee extraction-no matter how large the colony.

Humanely Remove Bees with the Help of Our Pest Control Technicians

Our pest control technicians make it easy to humanely remove bees without injury to the colony or additional damage to your property. We’re trained professionals who spend our days interacting with honey bees and other stinging insects. Over many years in service, we’ve developed the safest, gentlest, and best ways to extract bee colonies, including hives, bee population, and honeycombs, to leave your home free of these unwanted visitors and their honey production and storage facilities.

With a focus on preserving the colony and avoiding harm, we apply removal methods that protect our pollinators, your property, and its inhabitants.

Our Bee Removal Services

We recognize the importance of honey bees and refrain from using harmful chemicals in their removal. Our approach focuses on relocating them to sustainable apiaries, where they can continue contributing to our ecosystem without bothering you or making their home on your property.

Hive Removal and Property Restoration

We're dedicated to removing bees and restoring your property to its pre-infestation condition. Our commitment to comprehensive service means you won't need to call anyone else.

Our Process for Honey Hive Removal

Our humane approach to honey hive removal is centered around safety and environmental responsibility. Our trained technicians first inspect the site to understand the hive’s location and the behavior of the bees. Using protective gear and specialized tools, we carefully extract the hive, ensuring the safety of the bees and our team.

Next, we transfer the hive to a more suitable environment, often in collaboration with local beekeepers or conservation groups. Throughout our removal process, we minimize stress on the bees and ensure their survival. You can trust our methods to resolve your immediate bee concerns and contribute to the preservation of pollinator populations, which are crucial for our local ecosystem.

Prompt Honey Bee Removal Experts

We understand the urgency of the situation when bee infestations are involved. Whenever possible, we provide same-day service to alleviate your bee-related concerns. In cases where same-day service isn't feasible, we prioritize next-day arrival.

Honeybee Relocation

We don’t blame you for wanting to ensure the bees you removed from your property won’t return. Our honey bee relocation services guarantee they won’t. When we take a hive and colony from your property, we transfer them to a natural environment or apiary a reasonable distance from your house. In doing so, we ensure the same bees are much less likely to find their way back to your residence.

With a comfortable, safe, and suitable new home, there’ll be no reason for the bees to return.

Ask About the Free Honey Jar

As a token of our appreciation, we offer every client requesting our beehive removal services a free jar of honey sourced from the rehomed bees. We'll be sure to present you with your jar upon carrying out our handiwork.

As great as honey might be, we have more to gain from a healthy bee population than just honey. Don't hesitate to ask us further questions about the bee population and our services.

We Use Professional Equipment for Live Bee Removals

During our live bee removals, we make good use of various types of professional equipment.

Our equipment typically includes:

• Bee suit and veil for protection
• Bee smoker to calm the bees
• Hive tool for opening hives and scraping wax
• Bee brush to gently remove bees
• Bee vacuum or bee box for transporting bees
• Ladder for accessing high locations
• Sealant or repair materials for closing entry points after removal

We don’t recommend working with bee colonies without experience or the right equipment. In doing so, you may cause damage to your home, yourself, or our precious pollinators. Call us when you need a hand tackling problems with honey bee infestations.

Are Honey Bees Aggressive?

Honey bees aren’t usually aggressive by nature, but they can become defensive when they feel threatened or when their hive is disturbed. They typically only sting in defense of their hive or themselves. When a honey bee stings, it dies shortly afterward.

Certain factors can increase the likelihood of honey bees exhibiting defensive behavior:

• Hive disturbances
• Resource threats (flowers and food stores)
• Provocation (sudden movements, loud noises, strong odors, vibrations)
• Queen protection
