Orlando Paper Wasps

It's that time of year again, when temperatures are consistently warm, and insect activity really starts booming. This flush of insects propels the growth of predatory wasps, and nests start growing fast!

Orlando Polistes Paper Wasp nest

You've seen these wasps, I'm sure, as they are common on Eaves and Soffits of homes, apartments and just about any building where shelter from our frequent rains can be found.

These are called Paper or Umbrella wasps, and are in the Genus Polistes. They are common worldwide, and feast on insects such as caterpillars, aphids and other small delectable morsels!

About this time of year, we start getting calls to perform treatments and removals, as the nests are getting large enough to become a sting threat. While I admire these wonderful 'predators from the sky', It's of more importance to provide a safe environment for the public and residents, so treatment is warranted in many cases. However, if you have paper wasps in locations that aren't frequented by people, it's quite OK to leave them be!

Orlando Honey Bees in Tree Hole

City of Orlando Bee Hive in Tree

This is a typical honey bee nesting site...the interior cavity of a tree. You can see the corps of 'janitor' bees out side the hole, working hard to clean it of microorganisms.  Most larger trees will have a hollow core, and it's a perfect, safe and insulated place to set up shop!

Orlando Bee Hive in Tree Hole

This Orlando Bee Hive had been threatening local citizens in a neighborhood, and because we are seeing higher numbers of Africanized Honey Bees, ( AHB or Killer Bees!), City, Town and County Governments have us perform proper bee removals & eradications in many locations so citizens can enjoy safe use of their streets and yards.

Folks are often surprised to learn that we are seeing increased numbers of mean, Africanized Bees in central Orlando and other Central Florida cities. These are not places to be trying relocations of honey bees. The sting risk to nearby humans and pets is significant. There are folks so allergic to venom, that one sting can send them to the Emergency Room! Some can even die from one or a few stings!

Please, don't attempt a removal of bees, as they can be deadly, even swarms have attacked us since Killer Bees are now here. We've had fatalities occur in Florida because of improper stinging insect removal techniques.

Orlando Live Honey Bee Removal - Swarm Relocated!

Orlando Live Honey Bee Swarm Relocation

We've been blessed with a mild winter, and our honey bees have been able to feed very well during this time, which means one thing: IT"S SWARM SEASON!!!!

All over central Florida, existing honey bee colonies are bursting at the seams, with too many occupants. When this happens, the bees are just waiting for a good rain, followed by sunny days with little wind. 

Orlando Bee Swarm on Fence

We experienced rain last Thursday and Friday, and yesterday was blue skies and little wind, which caused this swarm to issue from a honey bee nest.

The queen landed on a fence, making it easy for me to capture, and move all her daughters into a waiting hive box. We came back later in the night to remove the box to one of our apiaries. 

Hiving the swarm; Live bee removal

Good luck queenie!!!!  My son even helped with beekeeper duties!

Or, in some cases, it's best for us, The Stinging Insect Specialists to remove them for you.

Orlando Bee Removal under a Stilt House

Honey bees will build nests just about anywhere, as shown by our technician, Jason Deeringer, who is also Vice-President of the Orange Blossom Beekeepers Association:

Orlando Bee Removal

This removal was actually TWO bee nests located under the same stilt house. One colony was very gentle..the other colony..not so much. It was extremely defensive and our technicians suffered many honey bee stings performing the removal. We collected samples and the bees tested out at near 100% Africanized Honey Bees.

Please, don't attempt a removal of bees, as they can be deadly, even swarms have attacked us since Killer Bees are now here. We've had fatalities occur in Florida because of improper stinging insect removal techniques.
