Many years ago the great Albert Einstein warned us: “When bees are extinguished, so will the man.”

While it may be a bit exaggerated, there is some reason to this… The bees, aside from producing the world’s only non-perishable food, are also responsible for most of the pollination that is done daily in the world. Without pollination, many fruits and vegetables that we have today will disappear reducing our diet, causing malnutrition and a good number of diseases. Apples, cherries, almonds are some of the crops that are already being affected by this lack of bees.

If the bees disappear, so would 60% of the fruits and vegetables we consume today. Bees pollinate more than 70% of the little more than 100 species of crops that feed us today and make up 90% of our food.

And what can we do?

Well, the first thing is not to use aerosols, these that kill flies, mosquitoes etc. They also kill bees.

You can plant flowers everywhere you can, so that bees have food.

Not buying transgenic products, not buying processed food from large multinationals, trying to buy organic foods, also, trying to grow our own food, even a part of it, is a way of attacking the agro-industrial food model to which we are subject.

Sharing and disseminating this kind of information is vital to make more people aware of the problem.

Bees are a source of life; they give us food and medicine and ask very little in return, stop killing them and help such noble insects.

As a professional beekeeper company, we want to make sure these bees are saved and relocated to safer environments. We have a strong network of people who have beehives and we transport them to their facilities so they can keep them safe.A very important thing to consider is to make sure the access hole is closed shut and the area is thoroughly cleaned so that other bees are not attracted by the smell. Do not use any cleaner that smells like citrus, because these will end up attracting them again.

Please call DELPA bee removal if you experience bee hives in your house or building.

For drones (males) their only duty is to find and mate with a queen. The queen lays the eggs individually in the cells of the honeycomb and the larvae leaves the eggs in there for three or four days. Queens are then fed by worker bees and they develop through various stages in the cells. Queens and drones are larger than worker bees and therefore require larger cells to develop.

A typical colony may consist of tens of thousands of individuals. Although some colonies live in hives provided by humans, so-called “wild” colonies (although all honey bees remain wild, even when grown and managed by humans). They usually prefer a clean site and a dry nest, protected from the weather, over the 20 liters of volume with an entrance of about 9 feet above the ground, and preferably facing south or southeast (in the northern hemisphere) or north or northeast (in The southern hemisphere).

1 – Depending on where you are, it can be more or less difficult to remove.

They can be on trees, roofs, walls, chimneys or on a narrow area where they find it safe to build their colony.Honeybees are more active during spring and summer in temperate zones, and are almost always active in warm areas. In addition, bees always make their honeycombs in the form of panels, having 2 parts, one for larvae and one for honey.

2- Never underestimate a hive

There may be 10,000 or more bees in a single hive. You may only see a portion of it (as if it were the tip of an iceberg), because the combs are usually partially hidden in trees, roofs, fireplaces, etc. The bees always prefer to make their hives in closed places like those already mentioned in the previous paragraph. Some kinds of bees are more aggressive than others, and will adopt an attack formation or attempt to sting you individually if you approach the hive. Africanized bees are an example of these classes.

3- If it is a bee producing honey, quickly call a beekeeper

This class of bees is currently scarce, therefore its value as such is very high for beekeepers, it is more likely to offer to remove the honeycomb or at a very low price, depending on the location of the nest and the effort to remove it. Note that not all beekeepers will be willing to do such work if they consider that effort and time are not worth it, usually if they are gigantic combs.

4- It is best to call an experienced professional if it is a large honeycomb.

Although firefighters can do the job, they do not specialize in dealing with hives. Even the most novice beekeepers could have problems if it is too big and too many bees. The best option is always to contact someone experienced, both with their ability to handle their tools and their concentration when removing hives.

Paper wasps

Paper wasps are sometimes called umbrella wasps because their nests resemble the shape of an umbrella with exposed honeycomb cells at the bottom. The queen seeks and the nest begins at the beginning of the summer; Early June is the best time to deal with a nest because it is still small. To control these wasps in your attic, use a small broom if there is only the queen. Use a wasp and hornet spray during the summer. This spray to wasps at a distance; The poison makes the wasps “freeze” into contact. If you discover the nest next to the fall, it may be best to wait until it is cold. Wasps die in the fall and winter. You can also put a plastic bag in the nest at night and place it in the freezer or in the sun. European paper wasps are much more aggressive than their domestic cousins, and their colonies grow in the thousands. Hire a professional if you have a very large nest.

Bees

Bees usually do not nest in the attic, but in holes in the wall. You can use the attic as an entry point to reach the holes in the wall, so they can find flying around your attic. Bees do not cause structural damage to their home, and can usually live peacefully with bees. Exterminating the bees requires some diligence, and may require the assistance of a professional pest control agency. When you exterminate bees, remove the leftover honey and honeycomb such as rodents and other insects to view this as a free buffet.

Clay wasps

Mud-building wasps are solitary wasps and very reluctant to sting. Unlike bees, paper wasps and hornets, like yellow jackets, these wasps do not even inhabit the clay nests they build. The wasp female construction worker will see her attic as an ideal place to build her many clay pipes because she is warm and protected from the elements. Nests are just mud pipes on vertical surfaces. Clay wasps are very beneficial; They paralyze a spider and a spider of things in each nest for the larva just to feed. Because of this, they are ideal for having everything if you do not like spiders near or at home. To get rid of wasp nest building nests, scrape them and throw them away.

Yellow jackets

Like bees, yellow jackets can enter through their attic to make their nests on the walls. You can, however, find a suitable place in your attic. Yellow jackets usually build nests on the ground, sometimes in landscape woods on the ground or on fallen logs. Of most wasps and hornets, these may be the most dangerous because they are more aggressive. If the nest is exposed, spray with a wasp and hornet at night. Because yellows are so aggressive, you may want to hire a professional to attend to the problem.

Bees are the most important pollinating agent in our environment. For mankind to obtain food such as fruits and vegetables, it depends largely on the work done by bees, who fertilize the flowers that produce the fruits we consume.

If you know where it is (the honeycomb) and you are worried that it may put your family at risk, you can call us at Delpa Bee Removal. We have a team of beekeepers who will remove the bee hive. You must not bother the bees, because they can react and sting. Neither you should use insecticides, smoke or any remedy usually used to kill or isolate them.
