Bees, Wasps, & Hornets

Bees

There are two main species of bees; the Honey Bee and the Bumble Bee. Both of these species are beneficial to humans and nature in general. They pollinate flowers and plants. They do this by flying and landing on different plants. They collect pollen on there legs and transfer it as they land on different flowers.  Bees can be very dangerous to those who are allergic to their venom in their sting.  However bees are mostly docile and only sting if they feel the need to protect them selves or the hive. Bees die once they sting so they only do it out of necessity.
On occasion a hive might loose its queen or the old hive becomes compromised and the hive will travel as a group following the queen where ever she may go. This can cause issues depending on where the hive ends up.  We have resources incase you ever find your self in this situation.

Wasps

We have two very common Wasps here in California, The Paper Wasp and the Mud Dauber. The Mud Dauber will create a tube like clay nest. The Paper Wasp will make the comb shaped paper looking nests. Wasps are slightly smaller than Hornets. They do not have hair like the honey or bumble bee. they survive off of other insects and nectar. They can be aggressive when protecting the nest. They do not loose their stinger after stinging, meaning you can receive multiple stings. This can be a very dangerous situation to those who are allergic to their venom.

Hornets

Did you know that the Yellow Jacket is a species of Hornet?These guys can be aggressive. Barbecuing? These guys will show up like a long lost cousin. They love meat.
 They can nest under ground, in trees, and occasionally in homes. They will protect the nest from perceived threats. Like Wasps they do not loose their stinger when they sting you, this means you may receive multiple stings in an encounter. For those whom are allergic to the venom this can be an extremely dangerous situation.
