The Importance of Bee Relocation

Out of the four types of honey bees, three of them are already thought to be extinct. Regardless of the species, these pollinators play a big part in our ecosystem, making bee relocation an increasingly important option of removal to give them a chance to live.

Here are some fun facts about bees and reasons that bee relocation is so important:

• Bees that are away from their hive rarely sting humans, as they are focused on foraging for pollen and nectar.

• Bees that are local to the area singlehandedly produce more than $5 billion in crop pollination assistance each year in the United States.

• The bee species pollinate 70 crop species out of 100 that feed around 90% of the world’s population.

• A 2020 study demonstrated that melittin, an element in honey bee venom, could eliminate cancer cells.

• The venom produced contains medicinal benefits like anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.

• Bees communicate by exerting pheromones to alert the hive of danger.

These incredible insects are essential to the existence of humanity and can do more good than harm when given a chance to live. Having a swarm of bees or a hive on your property is not ideal, but there are ways to remove these insects without hurting them.

At Florida Bee Removal, our team is determined to save the species one bee relocation at a time. The next time you see bees on your property, take a second to thank them for all they do for humanity, and then give us a call to humanely relocate them.
