Bees

DESCRIPTION

Our call for treatment of bees usually involves a swarm that has taken up residence in a wall cavity.  Most frequently they enter through weep holes or air vents.

There are about 20,000 different species of bees in the world.

Bees live in colonies that contain the queen bee, the worker bee and the drone. The worker bee and the queen bee are both female, but only the queen bee can reproduce. All drones are male. Worker bees clean the hive, collecting pollen and nectar to feed the colony and they take care of the offspring. The drone’s only job is to mate with the queen. The queen’s only job is to lay eggs.
