Honey Bees are one of the most important living creatures on the planet today.  They play an important role in pollinating a large number of the flowers and plants in the ecosystems around us and without them, many plants would simply disappear from the landscape. 

Typically, Honey Bees are active all year long pollinating flowers, constructing hives, and making honey.  The hives themselves are a highly structured hierarchy made up of three groups: queens, workers, and drones.  The queens are responsible for directing the entire hive and they do so by communicating through a complex series of chemicals and pheromones.  The workers and drones then take those orders and do whatever is required of them.  Within this rigid structure, hives can become quite large, numbering 10,000 to 20,000 bees on average. 

The presence of a large group of bees on any given day does not mean that a hive has been established.  However, the presence of a large group of bees in one area for more than four days at a time usually means that action must be taken. 

How Do I Know If I Have Honey Bees or Africanized "Killer" Bees?
Africanized "Killer" Bees look exactly like the standard Honey Bee.  The only difference between the two is the aggression with which they defend their nests.  Whereas regular honey bees typically will not respond aggressively unless their hive is in danger, Africanized honey bees have been known to react aggressively for seemingly mundane reasons.  Once provoked, Africanized Bees attack in large numbers and will pursue any perceived threat for distances up to a quarter mile. 

I See Bees Swarming Around My House.  What Do I Do?
Bees will swarm for any number of reasons.  They might swarm in groups to collect nectar from flowers and they will even swarm and establish new hives in the spring and fall, sometimes literally overnight.  If you are worried about the presence of a swarm, it is usually a good idea to take action immediately.  Check your vent screens or any small openings in your exterior walls or stucco where bees might be able to enter and establish a new hive.  Bees have been known to nest inside walls where the weight of the colony and the honey they produce can do costly and irreversible damage to your home.   

How Do I Remove A Hive?
Do not attempt to remove a hive on your own, especially if you have detected the presence of bees in or near your home.  Call Bug Central to come and do an inspection and recommend a course of action.  Also have your home inspected frequently for any exposed openings or vents that bees or any other pests can get into.
