Stories From The HiveWe’re trusted African bee exterminators.
Most people are familiar with the honey bee, but what you might not realize is that there are several different types of honey bees that populate the United States. European honey bees, which are what most people think of, are small, hard-working, and have mild temperaments that make them largely harmless unless they feel directly threatened. However, Africanized honey bees are a different story altogether, which is why our team at Florida Bee Removal offers African bee extermination services throughout the Cape Coral, Florida area.
Africanized honeybees are not a naturally evolved species—they were created in the 1950s by Brazilian scientists in an attempt to breed a honeybee variety that would thrive in tropical climates. However, the bees escaped captivity and began to spread rapidly, eventually making their way to Florida. They look almost identical to European honeybees but have a dramatically differing disposition. Africanized honey bees are aggressive, territorial, and extremely adaptable, so when they set up a hive on your property, it’s essential that you contact professionals for African bee extermination services as soon as possible.
Our team knows how to tell the difference between African honeybees and European honeybees, which is one of the main reasons we urge you to contact us if you notice bee activity on your property. We can assess the situation and take appropriate action, whether it’s catching and relocating beneficial bees or performing African bee extermination. Our team is equipped with the proper safety gear, and we take precautions to ensure that everyone is as safe as possible during our services.
It’s important to understand that Africanized honeybees are very dangerous—they are even nicknamed “killer bees” thanks to their aggressive nature. These bees will attack with little hesitation, have been known to chase victims more than a quarter of a mile, and attack in far larger numbers than European honeybees. Large-scale African bee extermination efforts have proven unsuccessful, but our team is proud to do our part in the effort to stop their spread and protect our customers.
