BEE CAREFUL BUT PLEASE DO NOT KILL

................................Honey Bees in electrical box (Left click to supersize)

Hi all,
Do you have a box like the one above on your property? Probably you do; and it is an ideal place for Honey Bees to make a hive. Honey Bees, are for the most part not aggressive, unless they are "Africanized" Bees.
Give them a wide berth, and they will not bother you.

Also, the common Honey Bee is a Federally protected species due to the massive losses of Bees due to Colony Collapse Disorder.

Rather than killing these Bees, consider engaging a Bee Keeper to come and collect them up; the charge should be about $100.00. If you can find one who will do it for less, please let me know at nsasigint@comcast.net

Let them BEE


If you see a swarm of honey bees in an open area (unprotected), as in photo, just leave them alone. We had one for over a week, now they have flown away to find a more sheltered place to build a nest. Thank you to the PBC Beekeepers Assoc who gave me the good advice that the bees were temporary (561) 686-6557. If honey bees should nest in a problem area on your building the beekeepers can come to hive and remove them. As you know the USA is trying to save as many bees as possible since the past few years of hive collapse. No bees = no crops.
