Having trouble with bees in your New York home or office? If yes, call on our exterminator company, The Bug Stops Here, where pest control and removing bees from your building is our specialty.
Bees are easily identifiable by the yellow and black coloring on their small, hairy bodies. Bees tend to live in colonies of 20,000 to 80,000 individuals, and will leave humans alone if unprovoked. Bees are helpful insects because they are an important part of the pollination process, which is key to our entire food chain. However, they can become pests if they interfere with where we live and work in New York. Bee stings can be harmful, but potentially dangerous to those with allergic reactions.
The reproduction cycle of bees is rather fascinating. There is only one egg-laying queen in a hive. The queen bee may live as long as five years and lay as many as 1,500 to 2,000 eggs per day. Worker females protect eggs and the young. The male drones’ only duty is to mate with the queen, after which they die.
Though bees are a helpful insect in the bigger picture, hardly anyone wants to live with bees in their homes or offices. We invite you to call on The Bug Stops Here exterminator team to use our pest control experience to remove the bees from your living space.
