The Bible states 17 times at Isreal is “the land of milk and honey.” And 3 years ago, researchers found a 3,000-year-old apiary in the Iron Age city of Tel Rehov in the Jordan Valley, the oldest known beekeeping facility in the world. While man as benefited from honey bees by their pollination and honey they collect, they can be serious pests at times.
Bees have been around for 100 million years. You can’t tell the difference between those bees and the ones we see today. Honey Bees have developed barbs on their stinger which remain hooked in the skin. The stinger, connected to the digestive system of the bee, is torn out of the abdomen as the bee attempts to fly away. As a result, the bee soon dies.
The victims don’t care whether the little honeybee lives or dies. Most victims suffer reactions range from burning, itching, redness, swelling and itching that may last up to a week. Although some experience more serious allergic reactions that are life threatening.
Honey bees are normally housed in manufactured hives and managed by beekeepers, but wild colonies of honey bees may nest in hollow trees or in wall voids in your home. Sometimes they nest within the wall or attic some distance from where they enter the wall.
Killing adult bees is easy, but the removal of the comb and honey are very difficult. Bees from other colonies may come to your home as long as honey remains in the killed colony. Also, other insects, such as carpet beetles, ants, or flies, are also attracted to killed bee colonies.
It’s best to contact a pest control company to destroy the bees.
