Bumblebees are known for their aggressive behaviour when defending their nest. They will sting anything that disturbs their nesting site, including humans! So if you see a Bumblebee buzzing around your garden, it’s best to stay away from their nest. They will let off a distinctive alarm signal when danger is near that signals other Bumblebees to sting the predator.

The average Bumblebee nest usually has 30 to a few hundred members and lives in abandoned rodent nests, dry cavities like spaces between lofts and compost bins, to name a few. So as you can imagine getting stung by multiple bees is no playing matter. Extermination should be left only to professionals as Bumblebees can make a nest in a variety of places, making them harder to find and exterminate.

If you’re experiencing a Bumblebee infestation, it’s vital to get rid of them as soon as possible. A Bumblebee exterminator will ensure the bees are gone for good.

Do bumble bees hibernate?

Bumblebees are known to hibernate, going into a dormant state. This means that they will stop flying and foraging for food until warmer weather. Bumblebees prefer to live in warmer climates, where they get more sunlight and warmth from the earth.

Bumblebees come out in the UK during the springtime, but they get very active in mid-April if the weather is warm. They get their name because of the noise they make with their wings when flying around.
