Q: Is it illegal to kill honey bees?

• <div><p>In many places, killing bees or destroying a hive is discouraged or regulated due to their crucial role as pollinators. Specific laws vary by region, and certain bee species are protected due to declining populations. Some states require permits or restrict who can remove or exterminate bee colonies. Always check local laws before attempting to manage or remove a beehive.</p></div>

Q: Are ground bees bad for my yard?

• <div><p>No, ground bees are not detrimental to the health of your lawn. In fact, the small holes created by ground bees can actually offer beneficial aeration which moisturizes and nourishes the ground. Additionally, ground bees are highly regarded as vital pollinators, meaning they help plants to reproduce. Unless you&rsquo;re battling a severe infestation, leaving ground bees undisturbed can boost the health of your yard and the environment.</p></div>

Q: How long does removal take?

• <div><p>Removal typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour per item, depending on accessibility and size.</p></div>

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>
