Honeybees

Honeybees are the familiar golden bees usually seen around and on flowers. They can sting, but they tend not to unless provoked – bees have a barbed stinger, which sticks in the wound and eviscerates the bee after stinging. As everyone knows, bees produce honey in their nests, and as pollinators are extremely beneficial. When nests or wild swarms are noticed, it is best to contact a beekeeper to collect them, rather than killing them.

If a nest must be eliminated, this can be accomplished with many different products and methods, the choice of which would depend on the nest location. If a honeybee nest is treated, it is essential to open up the area after the nest is dead and remove the honey. Otherwise, the honey will run, stain, and rot, creating a smelly mess, as well as a huge attractant for other insects such as ants.
