Honey Bees: What you need to know
Identifying Characteristics
- Honey Bees are yellow/honey colored
- They can be found in tree cavities but they can also make a home in any structure with some type of cavity or void including your home
- These bees are social and exist in large communities
Active Season
- Honey Bees are “perennial” meaning colonies/nests can last years in the same location
- depending on time of season Honey Bees may be more docile and highly unlikely to sting and other times extremely protective and dangerous
- An average nest may consist of 60,000 workers
- swarming takes place when a new queen migrates with a part of the previous nest to build a new nest and this typically happens in the Spring
Interesting Facts
- A queen may lay up to 2,000 eggs a day
- The Honey Bee is the only bee that dies after stinging
- The fate of a pupating Honey Bee is decided by what the caretaker bees feed them; “royal jelly” is fed to bees intended to be reproductives
Cause for Concern
- Honey Bee nests found in a home can be damaging to internal structures and drywall because of the buildup of wax and honey in a nest
- Due to the rising scarcity of Honey Bees, every nest should be dealt with on a case to case basis by a professional who can determine if the nest can be safely relocated
