Are These Bees?
We get dozens of calls each week from people have insects of all sorts bothering them. You’re probably on this page because you are in a similar situation. We always encourage calls and love talking insects with people. If you have questions please call us.
When you call we’ll have a series of questions for you to help you identify what sort of insects you are dealing with. The following is a breakdown of those questions. We hope that it can help people who have immediate issues with insects or just folks who want to learn more about bees and wasps make better informed identifications of the insects they see around them.
Can you see the nest?
Honey bee hives are often misrepresented in art and media as hanging from tree limbs or sitting out in the open. In nature you will rarely ever see a bee hive. In five years now of working with bees I have only seen one honey bee hive built out in the open. Honey bees strongly prefer to build their hives inside of enclosed areas. In nature this is often the cavity inside a tree. However most of the calls that we get come from when people have the bees inside their homes or other structures.
