Why Leaving Bee Identification to the Professionals is Best

There are many types of bees in Florida, so you may not know exactly the kind of bees on your property. While most bee stings are similar there are other distinguishing traits. Killer bees for example don't have a particularly bad sting, but they're dangerous because they respond aggressively to a nest disturbance. They will pursue you a quarter mile, stinging the entire time. If you dive into water, they will hover above the water, waiting for you. If you hide in a shed, they will try to get in, or wait for you outside. For this reason, calling in a professional to evaluate a bee hive is better than trying to remove the hive yourself.
