Bees in Trees

3/22/2016

0 Comments

 
     Spring time in Florida. The warmer weather, and occasional rain storm is bringing most trees and plants into bloom. This is a busy time of year, especially for the honey bee.
     Early Spring is when colonies that have become overpopulated begin to swarm. When this happens, the Queen will leave with a group of bees, in search of a new home. The group will stick close together as they move from place to place, and can take up temporary residence, anywhere they see fit. This is a picture of a large swarm found in New Port Richey, Fl.

     Sometimes, just mentioning bees to people, is enough to make them cringe. We understand. Honey bees have a nasty sting, but typically will not sting unless provoked, or defending its nest. Several years ago, while our Arborist was removing a tree in Clearwater, he cut into a hive that was dormant due to the cold weather. He ended up getting stung several hundred times in the face, neck and arms, and was rushed to the emergency room. We understand why people cringe at the thought of bees!


     Though their sting can be painful, their presence is vital to our existence. Bees are nature's most efficient and effective pollinators. Without them, we are unable to produce food. We believe that every bee is worth saving. In fact, we feel so strongly about this, that we have started our own apiary, and bee removal / rescue service. We have a State licensed Beekeeper on staff, and are fully licensed and properly insured to offer bee removal services.
