Bees can be easily mistaken for wasps. Bees have the familiar yellow and black bands, as do wasps, but they are much less pronounced in the bee. The bee’s body is more furry than the wasps and little yellow pollen sacs are usually visible on the hind limbs.
There are many different kinds of bees, some like the honey bee and bumble bee are well known. Others like the leaf-cutting bee feed on plants. Burrowing bees nest in soil and garden structures and masonry bees in stonework. They all look bee like and telling them apart is difficult.
Bees are very useful insects, feeding on garden pests, garden debris and pollinating flowers.
Bee swarms are commonly caused by honey bees during very hot weather at the beginning of summer. Swarms occur where a colony of bees produces more than one queen, the colony then split and one of the queens leaves the hive along with her workers to find a suitable site to create a new colony.
Control
Action against bees should only be taken in extreme circumstances and where they constitute a credible threat of danger and risk to public health.
If a bees nest represents a very high risk (such as a nest within the home, school, hospital or near those who are allergic to Bee stings), the nest can be removed and relocated to a safe area by a professional. 999 Pest control will only treat bees nests or colonies as a last resort.
