Honey Bees
habits
- Honeybees like gardens where there is an array of flowering vegetation. In order for them to produce honey, they eat the nectar and the pollen from flowers.
threats
- When hives exist close to residential and commercial properties there is a potential for people and pets to get stung because these bees can become aggressive.
prevention
- Because of the sting and the danger to those that are allergic, it is vital to get rid of these nests. Not only are they a medical threat, but they can also be a structural threat as well. It is highly recommended to hire a professional pest control company that can remove the nest correctly and relocate it.
