HONEY BEES

 

 

 

PLEASE NOTE: GREEN SOLUTIONS WILL NOT DESTROY BEES OR HARM THEIR HIVES UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY OR IF THEY POSE A SERIOUS HEALTH RISK TO OUR CUSTOMERS

 

The Honey Bee is one of the most important insects on earth! Bees are responsible for pollinating flowers, trees, plants and hundreds of types of foods that humans consume every day.

You should be made aware that there is a Honey Bee shortage in the world! Honey Bees are susceptible to a wide varitey of diseases that affect their hives. They are also susceptible to a phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder which causes worker bees to abruptly disappear.

At Green Solutions Pest Management, we make every effort to use a list of registered apiarists (bee keepers) to manage bees, remove them safely and then attempt to maintain the colony with minimal damage to the bees or the hives.

If you think you have a Honey Bee infestation, please call us immediately at:

Here are some important Honey Bee facts:

  • Bee eggs are laid in a single cell honeycomb made from wax
  • Bees have complete metamorphosis, growing from egg to larvae to pupae to adult
  • Most nests consist of one queen which feeds the larvae "royal jelly" for a short stage
  • Worker bees use the sun's position to find food. They perfom what is called the "Bee Dance" which is a series of wiggles that informs the other bees where food is located
  • Bees produce both beeswax and honey which are both used by man
  • Bees will defend their hives vigorously and are capable of stinging
  • Honey Bee's are extremely susceptible to poisons and insecticides
