HONEY BEES

Are honey bees dangerous?

Honey bees are actually quite beneficial pests as pollinators. However, they are also dangerous for many individuals. They can sting, which can trigger severe allergic reactions in some. In fact, a honey bee sting can prove life-threatening in some cases. A good rule of thumb is to avoid encounters with these stinging insects.

Why do I have a honey bee problem?

Honey bees typically build nests in trees and other hollow spaces, but sometimes they establish nests in attics, wall voids, and other places they can access in homes and other types of buildings.

Honey bee prevention tips

To keep honey bees out of structures, our Albany exterminators recommend:

• • Sealing cracks and crevices on the exterior that would allow honey bees and other pests inside.
  • Cleaning out gutters and areas under roof soffits.
  • Limiting the number of flowering plants and trees that you plant near your home.
  • When spending time outdoors, do not leave sugary drinks or treats uncovered, and keep trash picked up.
