Q: How can I distinguish between bees and wasps?

• <div><p>Bees usually have thicker, fuzzy bodies, while wasps have slender, smooth bodies. Behavior and nesting also differ.</p></div>

Q: How many times can a human be stung by a yellow jacket?

• <div><p>Whereas a honeybee can only sting you once, a yellow jacket can sting you multiple times because they don&rsquo;t leave stingers in the skin. In the unfortunate case that you get stung by a yellow jacket, it&rsquo;s important to react calmly and quickly. Immediately ice the affected area until the swelling subsides. You may also take an antihistamine if necessary. If you experience an allergic reaction to a yellow jacket sting or have been stung several times, seek medical care right away. </p></div>

Q: Should I hire an animal removal specialist instead of calling my local municipality?

• <div><p>You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.</p><p>Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if I have a bee infestation?

• <div><p>Look for consistent buzzing sounds, visible hives, or increased bee activity around your property.</p></div>

Q: Do bees come back after removal?

• <div><p>Some bees may return after the nest is removed. These are called &quot;straggler&quot; bees, and it may take them a couple of weeks before they leave. The reason is the nest may have been removed while the bees were away. These bees don't typically survive long once the nest is gone, so you may want to contact a beekeeper to help relocate them elsewhere.</p></div>
