Bumble Bees

Bumble Bees have become a significant pest over the past few summers. They have taken to living in the insulation in lofts of houses and bungalows. Treatment is normally by spraying with a residual Bendiocarb powder, however this process is far more effective if the nest can be located in the roof-space and treated directly.


The Life of a bumble bee colony

The queen over winters often in the warmth of the the loft insulation. In the spring she starts egg laying, the early eggs are normally females who will tend for her and the young. Later in the season from late June to August (species dependent) she will produce male offspring.


Do Bumble Bees Sting..? Yes, we can vouch for this fact.

Queens bumble bee and workers (i.e. the females) possess a sting, and use them in defence. The sting can be painful. However, bumbles are not generally aggressive. No MALE bumble possesses a sting.

Honey bees due to their good work as pollinators in the gardens and fields. However in certain circumstances bee collectors are unable to collect the swarm and nests need to be destroyed due to public health considerations. In these cases the nest needs to be COMPLETELY isolated to stop commercial bees coming in contact with the insecticides used, possibly for months following the treatment.

A Spring Swarm of Honey Bee's in "Overnighting" in a tree, chances are they will normally move on in 2-3 days in search of a more suitable location.


Masonry Bees

A solitary Bee (that ironically will be found in small groups) that dig into walls of brick but more normally stonework, not a great stinger, but often requires treatment for protection of the fabric of the property.
