I have Bees - HELP
I live in Victorville, Ca. I have bees in the rafters of my front porch. Can anyone put me in touch with someone who can take them away without killing them?????
Please PM me if you can put me in touch with someone |
..are they honey bees or yellow jackets- not honey producers, just nuisance and aggressive! Call farm extension in your area.
|
If they are honey bees, look for a honey producer in your area. Most bee keepers are glad to get a new hive. Google images of bees/wasps to see what you have.
|
Oh, please call professionals about this problem. If they are honey bees, a beekeeper needs to be called in to take them to hive. Our bee colonies are collapsing, PLEASE DO NOT USE ROUNDUP on any thing, it's extremely toxic and killing our honey bees. If the honey bees go extinct, this world will not be able to exist, no pollination for food.

I just googled "bee removal California" and found this.

This time of year it could very well be honey bees, and a beekeeper would love to have them. DH used to be a beekeeper, and his name was on file with the local sheriff's office. Your county extension agent should also be able to help.

I live in Fremont, CA and we called county Vector control. They can assess the situation and either kill them or if they are honeybees, they can probably connect you with a local beekeeper

My son lives in Bakersfield and his house had a big wild bee hive in the attic when he moved in. He called a local bee keeper organization and one of the members came out and got the hive, queen and all. He said he was grateful to get it as the wild bees were very hardy and disease resistant. With colony collapse a problem having a wild strain to introduce into a domestic strain adds strength to the hives. It was a win/win for all involved.

Whatever you do, don't kill the bees! I have seen only 3 in my yard this summer. We need everyone of them to pollinate our food!
