Pest Control

The answer to 'why do I have bee' is that you likely have a bee nest or hive near your home. Bees can be attracted to areas with available food sources, nesting spots, and water. Common signs of a bee problem include seeing large numbers of bees flying around your property, buzzing noises, or spotting a nest or hive.

If you have a bee issue, it's important to identify the type of bee and determine if it's a harmless honey bee or a more aggressive species like wasps or hornets. Honey bees are generally less aggressive and can often be safely removed by a professional beekeeper. However, other types of stinging insects may require professional pest control treatment to safely eliminate the nest.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. 1

    Identify the type of bee or insect

    Closely observe the insects and their nest to determine if they are honey bees, wasps, hornets, or another type of stinging insect.

  2. 2

    Assess the risk and location of the nest

    Consider the accessibility of the nest and the potential risk to your family or pets before attempting to remove it yourself.

  3. 3

    Remove the nest safely (if appropriate)

    If the nest is easily accessible and you feel comfortable doing so, you can try removing it yourself using the proper protective equipment and techniques. However, it's best to call a professional if you have any concerns.
