Bumblebees are more aggressive towards humans than other kinds of bees once disturbed, and they can sting multiple times for an unsuspecting child or pet; this could be extremely dangerous because once a nest has identified you as a threat, you or your family members could be stung numerous times by a whole nest of bumblebees.

Furthermore, they can cause anaphylactic shock, which is a life-threatening allergic reaction that needs to be treated immediately.

The symptoms of anaphylactic shock are :

1. difficulty breathing

2. swelling of the tongue or throat that can block airways and make it difficult to breathe

3. dizziness and confusion

4. itching, tingling, warmth, redness of the skin; some people may also experience hives

5. nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea

6. a sharp drop in blood pressure causes lightheadedness or loss of consciousness (fainting), which could cause you to fall down hard on your head, potentially leading to brain damage if not death, so please take these precautions seriously as they will help protect if you get stung by a bee and remember to keep your balance.

These flying insects tend to nest almost anywhere in your property, but the most common places include loft spaces, roof spaces, sheds, compost heaps or compost bins. They even nest in the ground or in trees. There’s really nowhere these pests won’t make a home, and once they are settled in, removing them can be daunting. You will need a Darcy Lever Bumblebee hive removal expert to get rid of Bumblebees.

Do not try to swat it away when you see a bumblebee. Try to move away as slowly as possible. Understanding them goes a long way in avoiding stings. To help you along, we have mentioned a few common types in the United Kingdom.

Bombus vestalis is a cuckoo bee that breeds at any time of the year by digging an oval cavity in dry ground or bottom of a suitable roost such as a hollow tree, building a wall, rock surface etc. The nest entrance may be disguised with soil and cuttings to make it less visible. It lays its eggs on open cells, but the larval cocoons are sealed against attack from other insects like ants and wasps. Therefore, it nests near manufactured structures because it cannot defend its larvae from parasitoid attacks from these natural predators.

Northern white-tail bees are a species of bumblebee that is native to North America. They get their name from their tail, which is white on the underside. These bees are robust and large and can be black, brown, or orange in colour. They can often be found nesting in abandoned rodent holes. Northern white-tail bees do not sting unless they are handled or disturbed. They live in colonies of around 200 individuals, but some nests may have as many as 3000 bees.

The Gypsy cuckoo bee, Bombus bohemicus, is a large insect. The thorax and abdomen are usually a brownish-black colour with a golden tint to them. In addition, it has pale yellow stripes on the top of its head and orange striped bands on the bottom of its abdomen. Their distinct dusty appearance can identify them due to glands they produce from their modified mandibles which gather pollen from flowers as they fly from bloom to bloom.
