Bumbe Bee
Bumble bees are social insects that live in small colonies. They are known for their large, fuzzy bodies and gentle nature. They are important pollinators and generally non-aggressive unless threatened.
Carpenter Bees
Carpenter bees are solitary bees that burrow into wood to create nests. They are often mistaken for bumblebees but have a smooth, shiny abdomen.
European Honey Bees
Oriental Cockroaches are attracted to cool & humid areas around your home
European Hornet
European hornets are social insects that build large, paper-like nests in hollow trees, attics, and wall voids. They are active during the day and night and can be aggressive when their nest is threatened.
Paper Wasp
Paper wasps are social insects known for building umbrella-shaped nests out of paper-like material. They are often seen around human habitats and can be aggressive when their nests are disturbed.
Mud Dauber Wasp
Mud dauber wasps are solitary insects known for building mud nests on walls, ceilings, and other structures. They are non-aggressive and help control spider populations.
Quick Identification Guide: Bees Swarming Around Your Home
1. Identify What You Are Seeing
- Honey Bees: Typically golden-brown with black stripes. They are social and live in large colonies. Honey bee swarms are often seen in spring or early summer.
- Bumblebees: Larger, with fuzzy bodies and a distinctive black and yellow pattern. They are less aggressive and usually nest in the ground or in cavities.
- Carpenter Bees: Resemble bumblebees but have a shiny, black abdomen. They bore into wood to create nests.
- Wasps and Hornets: These are not bees but are often mistaken for them. Wasps have slender bodies and smooth, shiny skin. Hornets are larger and more aggressive.
2. Assess the Situation
- Swarming Behavior: Swarms are generally non-aggressive as bees are searching for a new home. This behavior is common in honey bees and typically occurs in the spring.
- Nesting: If bees are actively entering and exiting a specific area, they may have established a nest.
