We understand the natural instincts of bees and the environmental factors that can trigger swarming behavior. Bees swarm as a natural instinct of the hive to reproduce and expand their population. This typically happens when a new queen bee is born, prompting the old queen to leave the hive with a large group of worker bees to find a new location for a hive.
Environmental factors such as overcrowding or lack of resources can also trigger swarming. When a hive becomes too crowded or when resources like food and space are limited, bees will swarm in search of a new home.
To address and prevent swarming behavior in bee colonies, it’s important to ensure that hives have enough space and resources. Regular hive inspections, proper management of bee colonies, and providing supplemental food and water can help prevent swarming. If swarming does occur, contacting a professional pest control service like License to Kill can help safely and effectively relocate the swarm to a new location. Don’t let bees become a nuisance – trust License to Kill for expert bee pest control services in San Diego, California.
Our bee pest control services include regular inspections, disease management, and hive cleaning to prevent infestations and ensure the production of high-quality honey. Beekeeping requires careful hive management to prevent the spread of diseases and maintain colony health. Regular inspections allow us to identify any potential issues early on and take the necessary steps to address them. Disease control is crucial to protecting the overall well-being of the bees and preventing the spread of infectious diseases within the colony.
In addition, hive cleaning is essential for removing debris, pests, and other potential threats that can compromise the integrity of the hive. By maintaining clean and healthy hives, we can ensure the production of high-quality honey and support the overall success of beekeeping operations.
Bees feed on nectar for energy and pollen for nutrients. Bees have a long tongue-like appendage that enables them to obtain nectar from flowers. The best-known bee species is the Western Honeybee. Unlike most bee species, the Western Honeybee produces honey.
Pheromones are used by queen bees to regulate hive activities, and worker bees also produce them to communicate. The collecting bees store the nectar in a second stomach and return to the hive, where worker bees remove the nectar. Worker bees then digest the raw nectar for roughly 30 minutes to break up the complex sugars into simpler ones. Raw honey is then spread out in empty honeycomb cells to dry. When nectar is processed, honeybees create a draft through the hive by fanning their wings. Once dried, the honeycomb cells are sealed with wax to preserve the honey.
When a hive detects smoke, bees become nonaggressive. This is a defense mechanism; wild colonies generally live in hollow trees, and when bees detect smoke, it is presumed that they prepare to evacuate from a forest fire, carrying as much food reserve as possible. They will go to the nearest honey storage cells and gorge on honey to do this. They are quite docile in this state since defense from predation is relatively unimportant; saving as much as possible is the most important activity.
Africanized honeybees release a pheromone when attacking, which also signals other Africanized bees to attack. While the Africanized honeybee’s sting is no more potent than that of the traditional bee, the venom will overwhelm the body in large numbers.
When License-To-Kill is contacted to exterminate bees, we typically schedule the treatment early or late at night. By planning our treatment at these times, we can ensure that all bees are in or immediately around the hive. In most homes, we open a 10′ x 10′ area, removing the beehive, damaged insulation, and framing materials. Our skilled carpenters can open up nearly any area in your home. They can fully restore the affected area to look new again. This process is the best way to remove and eliminate further bee problems.
Based on your infestation and construction costs, License-To-Kill will evaluate your bee infestation and schedule a time for removal. Your service technician will exterminate the live bee colony and seal all entry points with caulk, foam insulation, or other materials as deemed necessary. Please note that this process cannot be guaranteed to remove all bees since the infestation may have multiple sources, or the chemical treatments may not fully penetrate the beehive. Occasionally, the hive will be located outside the structure in a tree, barbecue, sprinkler box, or other unique areas that are simple to control. In these cases, your License-To-Kill technician can remove the beehive.
