Types of Bees

Bumble Bees

usually nest on the ground but can be found near patios, decks, attics or beneath roof beams. They are capable of pursuing a perceived hive invader for long distances. Of all bee types, Bumblebee stings are the most painful and cause extensive swelling.

Carpenter Bees

are solitary and build nests for themselves and their offspring only. They are attracted to wood and will damage and chew into structures several inches deep to hold their eggs and food. Carpenter bees are capable of stinging repeatedly since their stingers are not barbed.

Honeybees

These honey manufactures live in large colonies that can survive for many years. They typically build their nests in tree crevices and occasionally in attics or chimneys. Their barbed stingers are immediately torn away after a single sting.
