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.

Beehive removal Jacksonville

Beehive removal Jacksonville? Is that what you were getting ready to Google? Probably so. So what is the difference between a beehive, a bee swarm and a bee colony? Well I'm about to tell you. First of all beehive removal Jacksonville is not a correct term.  A beehive is that box of bees where a beekeeper grows honey. That box is called a beehive.

 If you have a bee problem you are probably are not a beekeeper but instead are  dealing with one of two other issues: you either have a swarm of bees or you have an established colony. A bee swarm is going to be a ball of bees that are looking for a home. You might see this ball of bees hanging from the edge of the roof, or you might see it hanging from a  tree branch. At first glance you might think they have been there a long time because you see this huge ball of bees hanging down. But, unless you see honeycomb there's a chance the bees have just shown up. 

Sometimes bee swarms are the size of a basketball and can show up in an hour and be gone in 15 minutes. Always a good idea to  to wait 3 days to see if the swarm does not leave on its own.  So, Is the problem you have a colony or a swarm? Where is it located, inside a structure or in a tree or shrub? How high off the ground are they? All these things the consultant will ask you when you call him. If you have a colony of bees,that means that possibly you have honeycomb and bee larvae to deal with. So now that I told you all this I will ask you again, why did you Google beehive removal Jacksonville? Do you have a swarm? Do you have a colony? Still don't know? the call is Free, 24/7 we will we tell you.
