Honey Bees in A Tree

2013-07-25T13:00:00.002-04:00

The abundance of bees in florida is astounding, the other crazy thing about the bees is the variety of places they can build their nests. These Bees overcome Florida's harsh weather and build an external colony. This is in a treea nd can still attack people. Many of these nests depending on their height require a lift to remove, Then there is the maze of getting the lift at the perfect angle due to the branches.

Swarm Removal in Palm Coast

2013-07-23T08:32:00.001-04:00

We were doing our daily work in the City of Palm Coast when we came across a nice honey bee swarm on a Magnolia Tree.

Palm Coast Honey Bee Swarm

The neighbors were worried about the aggression levels of this swarm of maybe 10,000 bees so we were called for the removal. The bees weren't too aggressive but without the proper live removal techniques they could have hurt somebody. They were relocated to our apiary in Flagler County.If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

Live Removal In Kissimmee

2013-07-22T10:26:00.000-04:00

Live Removals aren't so common now a days due to the increased amounts of African Bees. These increased amounts, make it dangerous to save due to our calm European Colonies, and also for the sake of the people.

We did this nest because we were sure that it was european, and docile so we went with our gut to save this colony, also due to the bird box it was safe.

African Honey Bees Still Swarm

2013-07-20T09:00:00.000-04:00

This is something that we see, or hope to see after we finish a job. We performed a bee removal from a water meter for the city of St. Petersburg, Fla. Africanized Honey Bees, aka Killer Bees or AHB, prefer to nest in or near the ground, and water meters are a very popular spot for them.

Saint Petersburg, Fl., Bee Removal from a water meter

After we perform the removals, we place a warning sign, and the bees clustered on the sign! Bees will cluster when their colony is disturbed, at least that's what 'normal' bees will do. They are simply regrouping and figuring out what to do next.

But here's the kicker: We are finding that many killer bees (AHB) will not cluster, instead, remaining aloft in a disturbed, defensive position. This makes our job of protecting the public and pets much more difficult, and YOUR choice of a suitable bee removal firm that much more important!

Honey Bees in Treeholes

2013-07-19T09:00:00.000-04:00

Honey Bees really, really like to build nests in Tree Holes, the hollows that are in many of the larger trees in our landscapes. Ok, they probably don't "like" to build them, but tree holes are a natural, safe environment for honey bees and we find many pest colonies of bees residing in tree holes.

Bees in Merritt Island Tree Hole

Now, many of our clients would like us to do a live removal, and relocate the bee colony to one of our apiaries. It breaks some hearts when we explain that the only way one can do a True Live Bee Removal from a tree hole, is to cut the portion of the tree away where the colony is located and then cut that portion open to get at the nest. Most clients really don't want to remove their trees, so the only option available is to terminate the bee colony.

Some might ask, "Why don't you leave the honey bee colony where it is? After all we are losing bee populations, right? Well, yes we've had increased mortality in our managed honey bees, those that we keep in white boxes. However, most of the bees we encounter in yards, buildings, etc., at least here in Florida, are not bees that we really want to keep in our white hive boxes. Most wild or feral bees have 'mixed-up' genetics, and make poor candidates for serious beekeepers. Worse yet, the numbers of Africanized (or African, or Killer Bees) are shooting through the roof here in Florida, with increases in bee attacks occuring. Trying live removals of feral bees located in or around humans is frought with danger and liability risk. It's something that we are doing less and less of every day.

And leave that colony in the tree, and odds are, as the colony increases in size, your risk for sting incidents go higher too. Daily, we field calls from folks who suffer stings from bee colonies that were very docile. Something happens to make the colony more defensive and POW!, your Saturday morning chores are put on hold as you spend the weekend in the hospital, recovering from an overload of bee venom.If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

Orlando Bee Swarms

2013-07-16T08:30:00.000-04:00

A colony of honey bees can be likened to an organism, and the prime directive of organisms is to reproduce--and that is what a swarm is!! Bee colony reproduction! An existing colony sends out maybe 20,000 workers, drones and the queen, to go find a new place to build a colony and thrive.

Orlando bee swarm

Usually, but not always, these swarms are relatively docile, and are transitory, meaning they will leave in a few hours. Please, don't provoke them into a stinging incident, by self treating yourself. Give us a call, and we'll help you determine if you should have us remove them. In most cases, you won't have to do a thing, but wave as they leave.

Bees in a Tree in Ocala, FL

2013-07-11T08:43:00.002-04:00

These Bees decided to not go with the normal "build your nest in a void" but instead to create an external honey bee nest. External honey bee nests normally arent so successful because it is more difficult to keep the temperatures correct and the bees are open to the environment.

Bees flying around plants in your yard?

2013-07-10T08:29:00.003-04:00

Every Spring and summer, we get many people calling our lines, scared that they have killer bees because they are seeing thousands of bees, wasps, flies and other insects flying in and around their plants, visiting flowers and not exhibiting any coordinated group activity. We are not referring to 'honey bee swarms' which are different, and can be viewed here.

Honey Bee foraging on Flower

Normally when this happens the plants around your yard or garden are flowering. This is called "foraging". No fear here, the bees are not trying to find a new nest, and are not harmful so don't worry. If they are flying into your house then there may be a problem.

Think of it, many bees, wasps, flies and other insects are attracted to the nectar that flowers exude. In exchange for this high sugar flight fuel, the insect will inadvertently transfer some pollen between flowers, therefore helping to pollinate these plants. What could be more natural?

Though you may be intimidated by all the activity, my suggestion is to observe nature's splendor. The plant-insect relationship has taken millions of years to evolve, and it makes the world go round in one sense. In most cases the bees and wasps don't even notice that you are nearby. Once the flowers have finished providing the nectar, the activity will cease. And you've done your part in assisting nature.

Cocoa Beach Bee Swarm Removal

2013-07-09T08:42:00.000-04:00

Here is a European Honey Bee Swarm, this is able to be easily identified as european by the quantity of bees. The African Honey Bees swarm more frequently, but in smaller groups.

This nest was relocated due to the fact we were almost 100% sure it was a safe and calm, also the house was in a remote area with neighbors over 100 feet away. With over 50,000 bees inside we had to use two hive box's to fit them all! It is nice to see the old school swarms still around, that are much more docile than African Killer Bee swarms.

Yellow Jacket Larger than Man

2013-06-26T10:38:00.001-04:00

Don't Mess With These Yellow Jackets, Highly Dangerous

TAMPA, FL -

Jonathan Simkins is an expert in flying insects. He has a degree in entomology from the University of Florida, and has been working in the industry for more than twenty years.

Simkins is the owner of Insect I.Q. He travels all over Florida to deal with honey bees, Africanized bees, yellow jackets and other stinging insects.

Recently, he faced the challenge of his life.

Simkins was called to a large, privately-owned tract of land in Central Florida to deal with a huge yellow jacket wasp nest.

"I have never seen a nest this large in my entire life," said Simkins. "This is the prehistoric nest from the dinosaur ages."

He says the nest was more than six and half feet tall, and eight feet wide. It may have contained more than a million insects.

"To put it into perspective, a nest we deal with on a day to day basis might have a thousand to five thousand," Simkins said.

Simkins shot his own video of the nest before he eradicated it.

As he approached the nest, the worker wasps attacked him and his equipment.

In the video you can hear hundreds of wasps hit the camera. The buzzing is non-stop, and Simkins' voice is clearly tense.

"I have to be honest with you, I was terrified at one point, and there were several times that I had to pull out and get a breather. My heart rate was racing, I had hundreds of them on my veil," said Simkins.

He used a spray and his own technique to kill the entire nest.

Simkins says if someone had walked up to the nest unawares, and riled the wasps, they could have been killed..

"We definitely did save lives. This land is hunted. It's leased out for hunters, if somebody comes across this, you're not going to get away. You can see in the video, I run a hundred yards away and I sill have thousands of yellow jackets chasing me, all over me, trying to kill me," said Simkins.

The video ends the next day as Simkins walks up to the nest without his protective helmet on. Simkins stands next to the remains of the huge nest, and declares it dead.

Our honey bee swarm season continues here in Orlando, and throughout Florida. Honey bees live in a harmonious social structure that swells to maybe 50 THOUSAND adults during the spring blooming season. When colonies are bursting at the seam with such numbers, a swarm response occurs, where up to about half the colony's members will leave the nest in a coordinated issuance, flying around the nest area. The queen is coaxed to leave as well and the whole group is herded by a dedicated corps of 'scouts', that guide them to a new location to build a new colony. The sight of this swarming behavior is frightening to many, but if one stays quiet and moves little, one can observe a wonder of the world, for it still entertains and sets this seasoned entomologist to wonder.
