What is a Bee

Contact Us

There are over 20,000 species of native bees in the world, and they can be found on every continent except Antarctica. The scientific family name for a bee is Apidae. Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, known for their role in pollination and, in the case of the best-known bee species, the western honey bee, for producing honey and beeswax.

Bees are flying insects that are closely related to wasps and ants, and they play an important role in pollinating plants. While most bees live in hives and produce honey, some species of bees are solitary and do not make honey.

Bees are distinguished from other insects by their long bodies and their furry wings. The importance of bees cannot be understated; About one-third of the human diet comes from plants that need to be pollinated by animals to produce fruit or seeds - this includes most fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes. Without them, many plants would not be able to reproduce and our ecosystem would be in danger.

A bee's body is usually between 3 – 5mm long, and divided into three sections: the head, the thorax, and the abdomen. The bee has two pairs of wings, six legs, compound eyes made up of thousands of tiny lenses, and three simple eyes on the top of the head.

Bee colouration varies depending on the species; while Honey bees are yellow and black-striped bees, bumblebees are black with yellow stripes. Some bees have distinctively coloured abdomens, such as red or green.

Bees use a variety of methods to communicate with one another; although they do not have ears, they can feel vibrations through their sense of touch. Bees also use pheromones to communicate over long distances.

While most bees live in colonies consisting of a single queen bee and many worker bees, some species (such as stingless bees) form colonies with both male and female worker bees. Bees provide several benefits to humans including pollinating crops and providing honey; however, they can also be considered pests when they nest in structures such as houses. For this reason, pest control services are available to remove bee nests from properties.

Description of a Bee

See our services

To kill a bee colony, a pest technician would first have to locate the hive by performing a thorough inspection. Once the hive is located, the technician would wear protective gear such as a bee suit, then apply environment-friendly insecticide dust or spray directly to the bees. The dust or spray would kill the bees on contact and also help to prevent other bees from entering the hive. Once all of the bees are dead, the technician would then safely remove the hive and dispose of it properly if able to.

The Life Cycle of a Bee

A bee undergoes complete metamorphosis during its life cycle.

Egg

Larva

Pupa

Adult

E1 Pest Control
The process begins when a Queen lays an egg inside a wax cell. After three days, the egg hatches and a larva emerges.

The larva is fed royal jelly by the worker bees for six days, after which it begins to spin a cocoon. Inside the cocoon, the larva transforms into a pupa.

During this stage, the pupa's body changes drastically, developing wings and gaining its characteristic striped appearance. After about two weeks, the pupa emerges as an adult bee.

Workers bees typically live for around six weeks, while drones typically live for around eight weeks. However, the Queen can live for several years. During their lifespan, bees perform various tasks to support the colony. For example, worker bees collect pollen and nectar from flowers, while drone bees fertilize new Queens. Ultimately, the life cycle of a bee is tightly intertwined with the functioning of the hive.

The Role of the Queen

Contact Us

The queen bee is the heart of the colony. She is the only bee that can lay eggs, and her eggs are the only ones that will hatch into new bees.

The queen also produces a special chemical that keeps the other bees in the colony from reproducing. As a result, she is the only bee that can lay eggs and produce new bees.

The queen is also responsible for leading the colony. When it's time to move to a new location, the queen will take off first, followed by the rest of the colony. Once they arrive at their destination, the queen will start building a new hive. The role of the queen bee is essential to the success of the colony. Without a queen, a colony would quickly die off. 

The most important role of the worker bee is to gather food. During the spring and summer months, workers travel far from the hive in search of nectar and pollen. They use their long tongues to suck up nectar from flowers, and their furry bodies to collect pollen.

In addition to foraging for food, workers also build and repair honeycombs, care for the larvae,

Worker Bees care for the young bees, known as brood, keeping them warm and protected until they are ready to emerge as adults. 

Lastly, Worker Bees guard the hive against intruders. Without the tireless efforts of the worker bee, the colony would soon perish.

The Role of the Drone

Contact Us

The drone is an important member of the bee colony. The drones' main role is to fertilize the queen bee. The drones are the only male bees in the colony and they do not have a stinger. The drones are born from unfertilized eggs and they are bigger than the worker bees. The drones mate with the queen bee in mid-air. After mating, the drones die. The lifespan of a drone is about 8 weeks.

List of differences between Wasps and Bees?

Wasps

Though wasps and bees are both flying insects that are known for their ability to sting, there are many important differences between the two.

- Wasps are generally much larger than bees, with some species reaching up to an inch in length.
- Wasps also tend to be more brightly coloured than bees, with yellow and black being the most common colour combination.
- Wasps cannot make honey
- Predators; feed on other insects, such as flies and caterpillars.
- Will build a wasp nest, these are typically much smaller than bee hives and only contain a few hundred wasps.
- Multiple stings and do not die
- Wasps are aggressive

Bees

- Bees are much hairier than wasps
- Bee body is shorter and wider
- Bees collect pollen from plants to make honey
- Bees live in hives
- Can house thousands of individuals,
- Bees are vegetarian
- Are docile only attacking when provoked
- 1 sting then die

Though often feared, bees are vital to many ecosystems and play an important role in the pollination of both wild and domestic plants. Here are just a few of the benefits of having bees around:

Bees help to ensure the genetic diversity of plants by transferring pollen between different individuals. This process helps to create new and hardier strains of plants that are better able to resist disease and pests.

Bees are excellent pollinators and play a key role in the production of both fruits and vegetables. It is estimated that over a third of the world's crops rely on bee pollination.

Bees produce honey, which is not only delicious food but also has medicinal properties. Honey has been used to treat wounds for centuries and is still used by many people as a natural remedy for coughs and sore throats.

Though often considered pests, bees are beneficial creatures that provide us with food, medicine, and genetic diversity. The next time you see a bee, take a moment to appreciate all the good they do.

What is a Bee Hive

Contact Us

A bee hive is an enclosed structure in which bees live and store honey. The hive is made up of two parts: the inner brood chamber, where the bees live and raise their young, and the outer honey chamber, where bees store surplus, honey. The hive is built by the bees using wax secreted from their bodies. The wax is used to construct individual hexagonal cells, which are arranged in vertically stacked layers. The bee hive is an amazing example of insect cooperation, and it serves as an important source of honey for humans. Call us now for removal service

Reasons why a Bee might sting you

There are a few reasons why a bee might sting you. Sometimes, the bee is trying to protect its hive or its young. Other times, the bee might feel threatened or endangered. If a bee feels like it needs to defend itself, it will sting you.

Bee Stings

Psychological Impacts

The Colony will only get bigger if left undisturbed

Damage within Structures of the Building

The Negatives of having Bees at your Home or Business

01 | Bee Stings

Bees can sting because they have a stinger that is attached to a venom sac. bee sting delivers venom into the skin. The bee's stinger is barbed so that it gets stuck in the skin, and as the bee tries to fly away, the stinger tears loose from the bee's body, killing the bee.

The venom contains enzymes that can break down red blood cells, cause swelling, and trigger an allergic reaction in some people.
In most cases, the pain and swelling from painful stings will go away after a few days. However, people who are allergic to bee stings may experience more serious symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or swallowing, dizziness, and faintness. If you experience any of these symptoms after being stung by a bee, you should seek medical attention immediately.

02 | Psychological Impacts

Some psychological impacts have been associated with having bees on your premise.

One of the most significant is an increased sense of anxiety. This is because bees are often seen as aggressive insects, and their presence can trigger a feeling of unease or discomfort.

Additionally, bees can also cause feelings of fear or insecurity, as their stings can be painful and even dangerous. In some cases, these reactions may be severe enough to cause actual panic attacks.

Other psychological impacts that have been associated with bee exposure include difficulty concentrating, irritability, and sleep problems.

While not everyone will experience all of these symptoms, it is important to be aware of the potential psychological impact that bees can have. Call a professional pest control company to get bee control ASAP!

03 | The Colony will only get bigger if left undisturbed

If a bee colony is left undisturbed, it will continue to grow. The colony will produce honey and wax, and the bees will pollinate flowers and plants. However, if the hive is located in a wall cavity of your property, several negative impacts can occur. The bees may become a nuisance to the occupants of the house, and they may damage the structure of the house as they build their hive. In addition, the honey produced by the bees can attract other pests, such as ants and mice. If the bee colony is not properly managed, it can become a serious problem for the homeowner. Call now for pest controllers to remove bees ASAP!

04 | Damage within Structures of the Building

A bee nest can have some impacts on a building, depending on its location.

- If the hive is located in an area that is not well-ventilated, it can cause problems with mould and mildew.
- If the hive is located near electrical wiring, it could create a fire hazard. The bees need a place to store their honey, and they will build their hive in any available space. This can put stress on the supporting beams and walls of the building.
- The honey produced by the bees can seep into cracks and crevices, causing damage to the structure.
- The bee hive can block vents and other openings, preventing proper ventilation. This can lead to a build-up of moisture, which can encourage the growth of mould and mildew.
- Finally, it is important to note that bees are attracted to sweet smells, so a hive near a candy store or other sweet-smelling businesses could create a nuisance.A bee nest can have some impacts on a building, depending on its location.

In short, the placement of a beehive can have significant implications for a building and its occupants. Call us now to exterminate your bee problems
