Bee Control Lawrenceville, Georgia

Pest Control Service Lawrenceville, Georgia has your best interest in mind. We understand that the first and most crucial part of controlling bee populations is determining the exact type of bee that is plaguing your home. Below you’ll find a list of several bee species that might be causing damage to your home and de-valuing your property.

Honeybees:

Honeybees live year round, their size ranging from ½” to ¾”. This species can be observed as a giant swarm, or as just several buzzing around a window, chimney, or other structural openings. A honeybee hive generally has 10,000 to 50,000 bees and 20 to 80 lbs of honey. Respectively, there is no such thing as a small hive. Honeybees have barbed stingers, if a bee stings a person or an animal, the bee will lose its stinger and die. The average life span of a single honeybee is about 6 weeks in the summer and 4 months in the winter.

Africanized Honeybees:

Look the same as the typical European honeybee, though unnoticeably smaller in size, Africanized honeybees are very angry, territorial, and may nest in awkward places. They defend their hive in large numbers, can stay aggressive for days after being disturbed. Africanized bees are extremely aggravated by loud disturbances and vibrations. In addition, they are highly provoked by certain smells such as fresh cut grass and bananas.

Bumble Bees:

Found living in nests of 15 to 100 in cavities in the ground, under sheds, or other random places usually low to the ground. Bumblebees are seasonal, after summer only the queen survives, starting a new colony in the spring. They are known to defend their hive very aggressively and can sting multiple times without dying like the honeybee.
