Should I try to remove a bee's nest myself?

• <div><p>You should never try to remove a bee's nest yourself because it can be extremely dangerous.

Q: Do honey bees sting?

• <div><p>Yes, honey bees can sting, but they typically only do it when they feel their hive is threatened. When honey bees are away from their hive, they&rsquo;re focused on foraging for pollen and nectar, making them unlikely to sting. Only female honey bees, called workers, have stingers, and they will die if they need to use them. Generally, if left undisturbed, honey bees will leave you alone.</p></div>

Q: Will bees leave on their own?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re dealing with a bee colony on your property, you might wonder if they&rsquo;ll leave naturally over time. The answer depends on their circumstances. Bees often relocate if the hive becomes overcrowded, food is scarce, or they face a threat. With that said, if a hive&rsquo;s location is safe, warm, and with plentiful food sources, they are unlikely to relocate on their own, and the hive may persist for many generations.</p></div>

Q: Why trust a professional with bee removal?

• <div><p>Professional removal preserves bee populations and ensures safe, effective hive relocation, protecting you from stings.</p></div>
