Stinging Insects - Bees, Wasps, and Hornets

Overview

If you’ve ever been stung by a bee you know how painful it can be. If you are one of the small percentage of the population that has serious allergic reactions to bee stings you also know how dangerous it can be. Bee’s are very beneficial to the environment, but when they start to invade our living space and nest near our homes they can become a major issue. While these insects are responsible for pollinating flowers, plants and crops they are best left to do that and not to make their home on our decks or next to our doors.

In Kalamazoo and other areas of Southwest Michigan the stinging insects that are most common are wasps, carpenter bees, hornets, and yellow jackets.  Carpenter bees are solitary species, while hornets, yellow jackets and wasps thrive by living together in large groups and are social.

We provide Kalamazoo Bee Control and Removal for all of Southwest Michigan.
