When a bee colony is located in an undesirable spot, whether it be near your home, in or near your yard or at your place of business, opting for live removal rather than extermination is a safe and eco-responsible choice.
All too often, property owners insist on immediate destruction of bee populations if they are too close to homes or recreation areas. However, most folks don't realize just how vital these critters are to our food chain. It is estimated that as much as one third of the world's food crops rely on pollination by honeybees in order to bear fruit. The frightening truth is that world-wide, the bee population is in steep decline. While scientists blame everything from pesticides to parasites, no one seems to really know what is causing the insects' decimation.
Since we obviously need these creatures to keep pollinating our crops, why do so many people feel the need to kill them in order to remove them? Even the threat of the more aggressive Africanized bees is diminishing as they interbreed with our more docile varieties. The fact is that even the most beneficial insects cannot always be allowed to settle anywhere they choose. Attics, walls, roofs, bushes, and trees may just be a little too close for comfort for most of us.
Fortunately, humane, eco-responsible bee removal businesses exist that relocate these creatures, their hives and honeycombs without causing the death of the colony. Experienced bee catchers will not only relocate the bees -- they will also remove the honeycomb and the hive, and repair the structure to discourage future colonies. If the honeycomb is not completely removed with the hive, it can melt into the structure, staining and possibly damaging it. The honey smell will attract other swarms of bees as well as rodents, moths, and other insects. Experienced removal services know that a thorough clean-out is necessary to prevent re-infestation and other potential problems.
Eventually scientists will have to determine whether or not mankind has been directly or indirectly responsible for the decline in the population of some of our more beneficial insects. In the meantime, let's not kill any more of these insects unnecessarily. Because these little creatures are generally non-threatening to humans, and they play such an important role in food production, humane bee removal is the safe, eco-responsible option. Some bee removal services offer to relocate colonies at no extra charge to beekeepers across the country. If you find yourself in need of bee removal, choose a service which will carefully move these industrious little creatures to an appropriate location so they can continue to do what they do so well.
