Bees

Types Of Bee Treatments

There are about 20,000 different species of bees in the world. They live in colonies that contain the queen bee, the worker bee and the drone. The worker bee and the queen bee are both female, but only the queen bee can reproduce. All drones are male. Worker bees clean the hive, collecting pollen and nectar to feed the colony and they take care of the offspring. The drone’s only job is to mate with the queen. The queen’s only job is to lay eggs.

Common Bee Characteristics

Several factors differentiate types of bees, a few examples of many are listed below.

  • Bumble: Bumblebee are largest of the types often build their nests near the ground in places such as holes created by rodents, under sheds, firewood, etc.. Bumble bees retain their stingers and can sting multiple times.
  • Carpenter: Carpenter bee, also known as wood bees are often confused with bumble bees. Unlike the Bumble bee however, the Carpenter bee burrows into wood and can after time cause damage. They may seem very scary and aggressive, however the bee is unable to sting.
  • Honey: Honey Bee are smaller than the other 2 bee types. They are usually found near their honey hives and may sting if provoked, losing their stinger in the victim and thus die. A professional beekeeper is needed, we at Omaha Pest Control do not service the Honey Bee.
