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.
