Dutton Bumblebee Hive Removal

Bumblebees might be small, but they can pack a powerful punch – especially if you're allergic to their venom. In fact, these sting-happy insects are one of the leading causes of emergency room visits for bee stings. So, if you have bumblebees buzzing around your home, it's important to take steps to remove them safely. If not, you could be in for a (painful) surprise.

Bumblebees are known for their aggressive nature when it comes down to protecting their nest. This can be especially dangerous for pets or kids playing in the garden as these pests don't know any better and will deem anyone who gets too close to the hive as an intruder. So they will send out a distress signal to the hive alerting them to potential danger, and they will immediately begin stinging numerous times in defence of their nest. To avoid such instances, the Dutton Bumblebee Nest Removal service near me advises you to act promptly by getting an exterminator in place to get rid of bumblebees.

Bumblebees in the wild will nest in small holes or cracks in the ground, but when they decide to set up shop on your property, they will often choose somewhere much more visible – like the eaves of your roof, under your deck, or in a bush near your front door.

Since bumblebees are so good at disguising their nests, it's important to be on the lookout for signs of their presence. Some telltale indicators that you have a bumblebee problem include:

- Seeing bees flying in and out of a particular area on your property

- Hearing a buzzing sound coming from a particular area on your property

- Finding dead bees near an entrance to your home

- Seeing honeycombs or wax near an entrance to your home

Commonly seen bumblebees in England

The tree bee (Bombus hypnorum) is much smaller than a bumblebee. The size measurement from wing to wing of Hypnorum bees ranges from 10-17mm, with the females being slightly larger than males and the queen bee reaching about 28 mm. They are recognizable by their bright orange tongue and green thorax banding. Tree bees prefer flying low on oaks or other trees in order to gather pollen and nectar for food.

Whitetail bee (Bombus lucorum) is a bumblebee that is the largest in the UK. They are black and yellow with a whitetail. Whitetail bees nest underground and can sting if they feel threatened. They usually have between 50-250 colony members.

Heath bumblebees nest in lowland areas, hedges, gardens, and meadows with dry soil. They are typically brown or black.

They feed on flowers for nectar but do not store food. A high-ranking female will defend feeding territory from conspecifics by attacking individuals intruding her space head first as well as direct buzzing harassment and chasing away intruders who venture too close foraging for pollen.

If you are seeing an increase in bumblebees around your home, it is important to take action quickly. Avoid attempting to fix the issue on your own with DIY products – these can be dangerous and ineffective. Instead, call a professional like Dutton Bumblebee Nest Removal service near me to remove the bees and their nests safely and effectively. By taking care of the infestation as soon as possible, you can avoid getting stung or even injured by these potentially harmful insects, and Dutton Bumblebee Hive Removal is just the company to help you with this.
