  Honey Bee Problems & Risks  

Honey bees don’t often cause many problems but when honey bees form a swarm, this can be very intimidating, especially if you don’t like insects. When a honey bee colony is homeless, they can set up a temporary camp nearby to the previous bee hive, such as in a chimney, inside a wall or in a tree.   

In a lot of cases, in this scenario, honey bees will be on the move again after one to two days during a relocation. If you find a bees nest in your home or somewhere in your garden and it’s causing you concern, you should contact a pest controller who has the experience and safety equipment to professionally remove the bees.   

Attempting to remove honey bees and their hive without experience and safety equipment can mean being stung. If you are allergic to bee stings, do not attempt to approach the honey bees or their nest.

  Honey Bees Can Damage Your Home 

Honey bees can not only sting if disturbed but they can also invade your home and garden. If you have a bee infestation in the wall of your home, garage or shed, this can cause costly repairs and in some cases home renovations.   

 When honey bees build a nest, the size of the hive will increase overtime. If the bees build the nest inside a small crevice, over time the bees can make this structural issue worse, putting pressure on the property. The weight of a large bee colony can cause structural damage to a property and weaken the foundations.  

 
 Large honey bee hives produce honey, melting wax and waste which if left, can leave significant stains on painted and decorated walls and surfaces. Bee hives can also give off a strong smell. This smell can attract other pests such as insects, rodents and wildlife. It’s important to have a honey bee nest professionally removed before it can do any damage to your home or garden. 

 A hidden risk of a honey bee infestation is liability issues. If you allow a hive to grow inside your property or within your garden and a neighbour, friend or passerby gets stung by a bee, you could be held financially liable. If they have a bee allergy, you are at serious risk and may be held financially liable for medical bills. honey bee control Spring ,Katy, Houston honey bee removal
