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
