Save Honeybees, and Call for Assistance to Remove Africanized/Killer Bees from Your Property

A lot of people are scared of honeybees for their hostile defensive instincts. Getting stung can definitely be painful (or even life-threatening for people with allergies). However, these insects play an important role in the planet’s ecosystems, as they pollinate plants that humans eat and also produce honey, which humans also consume. That is why it is it alarming that their colonies are dwindling. 

Keep the Buzz in the Meadow and Not in Your Home

When you have a bee problem in your home, it would be wise to call a bee removal service as soon as possible. This is especially true if you or a neighbor has a severe allergic reaction to bee stings.

Naturally, you’ll want to keep your home free of bees once a bee removal service finishes ridding your home of bees. Unfortunately, bees only nest in an area that provides ample shelter with nearby food sources—and a brand new swarm of bees will quickly find out why a previous swarm chose the prime real estate that your home offers. With that in mind, here are a few tips to help keep bees away from your home and in the meadows where they belong:

Are Carpenter Bees Infesting Your Home?

Spring is almost over, but certain notable occurrences from this season can linger beyond the mild months. Take pest infestations for instance; certain critters make their presence known every spring, and carpenter bees are no exception. During this time, male and female bees of this species mate, which can be bothersome to humans as they destroy property to build a home for their family.

Typical Nest Sightings

These carpenter bees start building nests around springtime, and these could be within the parts of your home made of dry, unfinished, or unpainted wood. That includes your walls, ceiling, deck, and some furniture. The tunnels they burrow, which you’ll see as round holes with sawdust piles and possibly a trail of yellowish excrement, are typically half an inch in diameter and anywhere between 6 inches to several feet in length.
