Bees are commercially valuable and an important part
of our ecosystem, but in the wrong place at the
wrong time, they can become pest. Our area most
typically encounters infestations from these
species.
Like wasps, different bee varieties have different
nesting behaviors. Honey bees and bumble bees are
social creatures who create large communal hives
with nesting galleries and large honey combs. Wood
boring bees nest as individuals, with each bee
boring its own egg and nectar gallery. Honey bee
hives can be active for years, while bumble bee
colonies die off each year.
