Although bees are beneficial insects for the environment due to pollination, they do in fact pose a threat to humans. No one like to be stung, especially those that are medically allergic to bee stings. When your space is being invaded by bees, it’s important to properly identify whom exactly is the invader. We have dealt with all different types and distant relatives or species of bees including Wasps, Hornets, Yellow Jackets and more.
Some of these species live above ground, while others live below ground. Each species also has different ways of organizing their colonies. Some bees may be aggressive while others are generally docile as long as they are left alone. A bee sting can be painful and will cause swelling plus irritation that could last for days. Standard Pest Management can help you with any potential bee invasion problem you may be having and are experts when it comes to hive removal.

A wasp nest can usually be found in high places or underneath overhangs where humans may have a tough time reaching them. This is of course done on purpose so that they feel protected from the elements and us. You might see a wasp nest hanging from a tree branch, a building or even within a bush. We can’t stress to you enough though to not disrupt any Wasp nest. These types of bees can become very aggressive and will attack quickly if they feel that their colony is being threatened.

You can tell you’ve got an infestation by seeing visible pencil-sized holes within the wood or siding of your home. Although paint and staining can be a good deterrent, Carpenter Bees will in fact drill into almost any type of wood without a problem.
Just as their name states, they appear to have bright stripes of yellow and black across their abdomen. They are also a major hazard to humans because of their aggressive nature. You’ll typically find them swarming around garbage cans as well as anywhere food is being served outdoors.
This is because they are carnivorous insects. During their larval stage, worker bees will scavenge looking for meat and sweets to feed their young. Yellow Jackets will build nests in and around property, areas such as within trees, shrubs and even inside your home’s walls.
Although Bald-Faced Hornets (also called “White Faced Hornets) have a bad reputation for being aggressive, it’s only when defending their nest. Outside of the nest, they tend to be beneficial insects killing other pesky bugs in the environment like flies.
