<h1>Understanding Arizona Bees</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Fred Willey.aspx'>Fred Willey</a></strong><br /><p>Hornets, bees, and wasps are helpful creatures, for the most part, but especially when you’ve been stung by one of these creatures, it might be tough to think of them that way. The stinging can make you see red, long after the sting wears off. That’s because removal of Arizona killer bees and other insects can be a costly problem to remedy. Not only must you rid your home or business of the swarms of flying insects, but you must also get remove their nests and the enormous quantity of honey that they can create. Phoenix pest control services include removal of honeycombs and honey because of the extra trouble these pest byproducts can cause. Arizona’s heat can melt the honey and honeycomb, creating a seriously sticky problem for home and business owners. But to get at the problem a Phoenix bee exterminator must figure out what they are dealing with before they decide on a course of action. Honey Bees You may have guessed how honey bees got their name. Of course, it’s because of the brownish to yellowish fluid they create from the nectar they suck out of flowers. This nectar winds up as food for those in the hive. These little guys create wax and honey and they are important for pollinating other plants. That said, these are the buzzing bees that are blamed for the majority of the stings people get during their lifetimes. Little do people know it’s the yellow jackets that are the culprits. While many a cartoon will show honey bees as an aggressive species, they are not in real life. They only sting when they are defending themselves or their colony. Speaking of colonies, honey bees are fairly social, and they live in hives as a colony, which may contain up to 80,000 bees. There is a queen bee and a bunch of worker bees and many males. The entire hive winters, leaving the queen to lay eggs – about 2,000 a day. A Phoenix pest control company will tell you to stay away from active hives, colonies or swarms if you’re not wearing a protective suit. Only a trained pest management professional should remove these active bee hubs. Nowadays, some Phoenix pest control companies, like Invader Pest Control, will practice green pest control. That’s because a live removal of these hives is probably best, especially if the hive on or inside a brick wall. If a pesticide must be used, it should only be done at night and while using background light. As part of the bee nest removal, Phoenix bee exterminators must collect the dead bees, honey and honeycomb by the next day otherwise the odor may be too intense.

Paper Wasps These are the insects that create a nest made of a material that looks like paper. They are typically not aggressive but they can be annoying. Like honey bees, paper wasps tend to be sort of social and they live in colonies but they don’t have a worker class. Colonies include several queens, but only one that lays eggs. The secondary queens are there in case the egg-laying queen dies. You’ll typically find paper wasps nests on branches, twigs and shrubs, and that can be of concern for anyone who has paid big money for those beautiful ornamental hedges and shrubs. If someone prunes or trims these plants, that person is likely to get stung. And because so many people have pools in Phoenix, exterminator will tell you that these insects will get water from pools. These are the main pests you can find in Arizona. If these insects are becoming a problem for you, call Invader Pest Management to figure out your options. </p><strong>About the Author:</strong><br />Article Source: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.invader.net/pest-management/the-anatomy-of-arizona-bees/">Invader.net</a><p> Article Source: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/Article_Understanding-Arizona-Bees_57079.aspx'> http://www.articleseen.com/Article_Understanding Arizona Bees_57079.aspx</a></p>
