The Nature of Bees

As much as you may hate bees,

they are actually an important part

of the environment. Without them,

farms would have serious issues.

Even with that in play, you

probably don’t want them

relocating in your backyard.

Know What You’re Dealing

With

Understanding whether you’re dealing with a honeybee or

something more serious is an important step, particularly

given the fact that there are more than 20,000 species of

bees worldwide.

Bumblebees 101

You’ll find bumblebees making a nest in the ground, your

attic, or just under a beam on the roof. As a bumblebee

approaches, the buzzing gets much louder because they

become more aggressive. The key to dealing with these

bees is to eliminate any potential nesting areas around your

home.

A Carpenter Bee Overview

Carpenter bees can make a nest inside the wood of your

home. The real problem is that, unlike other bees, they don’t

have barbed stingers, so they can sting as frequently as they

want. They tend to like bare wood more than stained and

painted surfaces.

Understanding

Honeybees

You may recognize honeybees more than any other type.

They pollinate many of the crops in the US. They can only

sting a single time, as the stinger rips off once they fly

away. Removal when you’re dealing with this type of bee

can be a massive operation.

Bee-Proofing Your Home

It’s not as difficult as you might imagine to keep the bees

away. Start in your yard. Are the spots that may seem more

attractive to bees like voids in tree branches. If you find

any, be sure to block them with screens and caulk.
