Types of Bees

Bees play a crucial role in pollination and the overall health of our ecosystem, but their presence can sometimes pose risks to humans, especially when nests are built in or near homes and businesses. While generally non-aggressive, certain situations can lead to stings, which are particularly dangerous for those with allergies.

TREATMENT

How do I get rid of Bees?

At Hearts Pest Management, we understand the delicate balance between preserving the beneficial role of bees and ensuring the safety of your property. Our approach starts with a thorough inspection to locate hives and assess the level of infestation. Through our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies, we prioritize humane and environmentally friendly methods to manage bee populations.

Our team employs safe relocation techniques whenever possible, moving hives to appropriate locations where bees can continue to thrive without posing a threat. In cases where relocation is not feasible, we use targeted treatments that minimize harm to the environment while effectively addressing the issue. By focusing on long-term prevention, we help ensure that bees do not return to your property, providing you with peace of mind and a safer environment.

Bee FACTS

Learn All About Bees

The more you know about bees, the better you can predict and control their behavior. Here are some interesting facts to help you on your way.

Lifespan

Worker bees live for about 6 weeks during the busy summer months, while queens can live for several years.

Diet

Bees primarily feed on nectar and pollen from flowers, which provide them with the energy and nutrients necessary for survival.

Colony Structure

A single bee colony can contain tens of thousands of bees, with a well-organized social structure including workers, drones, and a single queen.

Communication

Bees communicate through a unique "waggle dance," which helps them convey information about the location and quality of food sources to other members of the colony.
