During the springtime in South Florida, it’s common to see bees buzzing about as they pollinate plants and flowers all throughout Miami. While a crucial part of the ecosystem, bees can become an issue if they are living in large numbers on your property. Bees generally won’t act aggressively towards humans unless they feel that their hive or queen is in danger, in which case they may sting. For this reason, it is important to have bees or bee hives professionally removed if you discover them on your property.

Bee Danger

Bee stings normally cause nothing more than pain and irritated skin at the affected area, but if you or a loved one are allergic to bees, a single sting can be life-threatening. What’s more, if you inadvertently come too close to a hive, bee swarms can happen to protect your home, stinging you repeatedly. Bee stings in large numbers can be poisonous, even if you aren’t allergic.

Bee Problems

Bees tend to build their nests in secluded areas, so you can expect to find them high up in trees, out of the way. If trees aren’t available though, bees have been known to construct hives under homes, on porches, and even underneath gutters.

Bees can build their hives in the walls of your home, in ceilings, and inside your roof. These hives cause problems. It increases the risk of stings because the hive is built close to human activity. The hive can also cause property damage. If the hive is ever abandoned, it can attract other pests like roaches, ants, rats, and raccoons. And without the bees, the honey will melt and drip down your walls.

Beehive Removal

Beehives need to be completely removed if they are built near people. Getting rid of the bees only solves part of the problem. Other bees and stinging insects can take over the abandoned nest. The honey can attract other pests like roaches, rats, and raccoons.

When a beehive is inside parts of your house, it needs to be completely exposed. From there, each piece of the hive is removed and the area is cleaned of any honey. After beehive removal, you’ll want experts to repair the damage.
