Bee Hive Removal Jacksonville

These are the things you need to look at when seeking Bee Hive Removal Jacksonville. First of all you probably don't have a “bee hive” you have a Swarm or you have a Colony of bees, but it is not likely you have a bee hive.

Bee hives are the boxes that beekeepers keep bees in, A swarm is a ball of bees that show up up one day in your yard or in your house and a colony of bees a when the bees have established themselves.  Usually when the bees are there for a week or more there is going to be some honeycomb and then later comes the honey and later still will come the bee babies or larva. 

So, now that you know about bee hive removalJacksonville, which one do you have?  If you see a big ball of bees don't assume that you have a colony, look closer, do you see Honeycomb? Something the size of a basketball can show up in a hour and leave in the next 15 minutes. People will often call and tell me they have a colony of bees that have been there for some time and I will go on to give them counsel on what options are available to relocate their bees. But then after talking with them a while and learning there is no honeycomb present  or finding out they only “assumed” they were they longer because the ball of bees was so big!  If your own eyes have not seen the bees in their present location for more than three days then you should wait until at least three days have passed before you do anything. This is because a swarm is a nesting mother queen and a group of bees following her. She may not have decided on the location where they landed, she might be only resting or maybe her plan didn't work out. This is especially true if they location is near the ground as a bee swarm near the ground is mostly likely going to move on because they are not comfortable near the ground.

People will call about a Bee hive removal Jacksonville and ask for free consultation, we love to help you out. You can learn most of what you need over the phone. First of all, you might be interested to know that when you see bees in your home  or in a tree this is not called a Bee Hive. Be hives are the boxes the beekeepers place bees in and raise for honey. That box is called a hive box. When bees are found in nature they are called a Colony of Honeybees. When a Colony gets too big for the space it is in it will divide into two colonies by hatching another queen and the older queen will flee with approximately half of the worker bees. When they take flight there is yet another name for them and that is called a Swarm of bees. So when one calls about bee removal Jacksonville the first question is “do you have a Colony or a Swarm?

Generally a Swarm of bees have been on premises for a week or less and have not have had much time to start building up Honeycomb wax and there is no larva growing yet. But it does not take long and a large swarm can go to work very fast building up honeycomb and now you have an established Colony of bees. 

If you just came across the bees it’s hard to say how long they have been there. If you see a large ball of bees don’t assume it’s been there a long time. A swarm the size of a basketball can show up in an hour and leave in one minute.  So you say you are looking for Bee hive removal Jacksonville? Nope, you have a Swarm or a Colony, which is it.
