So there was this beehive chilling inside an upside-down flower pot— now tell me, who does that? Anyways, this beehive had to go, but one cannot just walk up and start swinging. So first we dressed up- we looked like wannabe Ghostbusters for the bees don’t take things lightly. Then I took this smoker thing-…
So, imagine this scenario: a swarm of bees decides one day that the rear tire of a Tesla is the perfect place to set up their next colony—pretty random! Rather than panicking and reaching for the spray, what we actually did was use a bee vacuum (yes, that’s a thing) to gently suck them up.…
Africanized bees, or so-called “killer bees,” are a big danger because they are very aggressive and react fast in defense. African bees come in swarms double or triple the size of a normal bee’s attacks. They can follow you for over 1000 feet. So it is important to run away in this case. Upon sighting…
Bees are extremely important to our ecosystem, mostly due to what they do in terms of pollination. They carry flower to flower, which helps plants grow fruits and vegetables. This is how around 35% of what we eat is brought into existence. Colony collapse disorder is when worker bees leave their hive, which then results…
Bees are more than amazing, way more important; everyone gives them attention, thinks of them as just little stingers, but they’re heroes of our planet! Bees pollinate most fruits and vegetables; this is the only reason we do not live in a world filled with plain bread and potatoes. Most of the food that is…

At the time of our arrival, the beehive had positioned itself under the FPL meter cover, simply to try and complicate matters further with the entire power gear where the home is. It was to be done in a manner sensitive not to disrupt or get the bees stunned. The bees had drilled deep into…
Removing a beehive from way up in a tree is no joke. First off, I had to gear up, and let me tell you, wearing a harness is basically a must when you’re that high up. Safety first, right? So, I strapped myself in and started climbing up this huge tree, feeling like some kind…
A tiny beehive which was hung out of a branch of an avocado trees had to be removed by me yesterday. Though the beehive wasn’t that big, it had been filled with honey bees. I had been aware that I would be cautious to avoid getting stung, and retrieved my vacuum, which I generally make…
Today we tackled the process of a beehive removal from a low hanging branch today in a yard. I had been cautious as the hive wasn’t big but there were numerous bees buzzing about. I could reach the branch easily since it was right above my head, though I knew I needed to be cautious…
