Honey bees can become a problem in Carson when they are making a hive inside the walls of a home because of the honey they store. If left un treated, the bees can store 100 pounds of honey per year. That can cause major problems, because your home is primarily made of wood. The moisture in the honey and water they store inside the honey comb will rot your wood, causing it all to be replaced.
Honey bees in Carson are primarily the European variety. They can be hostile when protecting the hive, food, and young with the queen bee. European honey bees in Carson will attack if the hive is harassed, but will only chase about 20 yards before they give up the chase, and settle down back in the hive. All the spilled honey will be picked up and the hive will be re built in 24 hours.
African honey bees in Carson are much more aggressive. They will not let a threat get close to the hive. When a threat does approach the colony, a scout bee will go after the problem and warn them with a bump to the chest, or circle the head for a while. If the threat continues to get closer, it will mark the target with a pheromone. Then it will sound the alarm, and all the bees will attack! The African bees in Carson will continue attacking for miles, and will even wait for the target to emerge from under water if that is where they were hiding!
African honey bees in Carson are not all bad. They do make honey about twice as fast as European honey bees. And the same for pollination. All bees in Carson are important for the pollinating of flowers, fruit, and nut trees. And believe it or not, the venom can be useful as a cure for nerve damage victims, and multiple sclerosis among other illnesses. It is called sting therapy, and it has been an effective treatment for centuries!
A bee swarm in Carson is a relatively harmless issue. The bees have no food, eggs, or young to protect, and they usually wont attack. A bee swarm can be distinguished from a hive by the fact that they usually are on a branch or exposed to the weather somehow. This is because the Carson bee swarm is just stopping for a while to take a rest. The queen bee is much heavier and larger than the rest, and she usually needs a break before the rest do. The other bees in the swarm will stay with the queen bee as they are a colony. The colony decided to get a new home for one reason or another, usually lack of space. A bee swarm in Carson has about 3500 members, and can resemble a pineapple when found. A bee swarm in Carson will usually move on within 24 hours.
Removal of bees in Carson takes a professional bee keeper. If the stress on the colony is too great, things can go bad for the client and the neighbors. Smoking bees is done to confuse the receptors which receive the command to attack, not to get the bees to leave. Too much smoke will cause the bees to go ballistic and make a big mess out of the removal process. The most important tool in a bee keepers trick bag is patience. Move slow and gentle using nudges instead of pushes.
Honey in Carson comes from a bee hive, or a nest. The removal of the honey from a nest of bees takes a professional bee keeper that isn’t afraid of ladders, heights, and getting dirty. Removing honey from a nest is going to get everything full of honey. In the heat of the Carson sun, honey will run like water as soon as the honey comb is broken. Not to worry, it has to get worse before it gets better. And within 24 hours the bees will clean up the mess and return it to the new nest which we provide. Then the repairs to the building can commence, and that repair should include bee proofing!
