How to Identify Bees
How to Tell the Difference Between a Bee and a Wasp
While there is no mistaking the large, somewhat clumsy-looking bumblebee, a lot of people get the much smaller honey bee confused with the wasp. Both of these categories of bees have a more furry-looking appearance than their wasp & hornet cousins.

How to Identify a Bees Nest
Bees will sometimes take up residence in wall voids of various structures. When these nests are high above head height, it can be difficult to determine whether it belongs to wasps or bees. One thing you can often see from a distance is the activity around the nest. Wasps tend to come and go directly into the cracks. Honey bees on the other hand tend to hover and crowd around the opening of the nest.
What to Do If You Have a Bees Nest on Your Property
When it comes to bees, we recommend that you reach out to local beekeepers, in an attempt to relocate the hive. While not always successful, we feel it is worth the effort to try and preserve these powerful little pollinators.
