Having problems with bees?

Sometimes when you think you’re being bothered by a Honey bee it’s not a Honey bee at all but a yellow jacket! Many people really can’t distinguish the difference between a honey bee, yellow jacket, bumble bee, carpenter bee, wasp or hornet.

I receive many calls asking me to remove a honey bee nest when actually it is a yellow jacket nest or a bald-faced hornets nest.

I think the biggest problem is not the insects but the people who see them. The old saying “Out of sight...out of mind” is so true. I also believe “If you look for trouble you’ll find it”

All insects are beneficial, they all serve a purpose on this earth but generally speaking people just don’t like having them around. I agree when a stinging insect nest is near the entrance to your house or in your wall it must be removed but if it is at a distance and not bothering you why not leave it alone.
