Bees and Wasps: How to identify them
So you think you have a bee or wasp problem but are unsure of which one? You have heard the buzzing sound, seen your neighbour stung by one and have noticed your backyard has been a haven for both insects. You can tell if you have a bumble bee or wasp problem by identifying how they look. Have you seen an insect that has a hairy black or brownish body with yellow and orange striations? If so that is a bee.
An insect with a shiny, smooth skin with four wings and bright yellow and black patterns on their body are wasps. Both insects unfortunately will sting. Honey bees will only attack if they become provoked whereas wasps are territorial and aggressive. Wasps are known to sting more often. They also can sting more than once; while the honey bee will die after they have stung.
Their nests and colonies:
When you walk around your property you will notice the difference between bees and wasps. Honey bees do not hibernate. They live in large colonies where the worker bees build the hives and work to keep it warm. Wasp nests are maintained by the queens and they will build new nests every fall season. So if you are noticing new nests in your yard, chances are you have a wasp problem.
Wasp nests are made from the fibres from decomposing wood and their own saliva. Their nests look like they are made from a kind of paper. Do not remove wasp nests on your own. Contact our professional services to arrange a visit right away. Someone you know or love may be allergic to wasp and bee stings so do not wait any longer to remove the hive(s) from your property.
