The
golden-yellow body of a Honeybee
with dark bands of brown measures
up to a 1/2 inch in length.
Honeybees nest inside
cavities
found in rocks and
tress. Occasionally
they will nest inside
a crawl
space, attic, wall
void or
a chimney in a home.
If you locate a nest
in your
home, it is best
to contact a
professional for
removal, as
once a colony has
been eliminated,
the building owner
may need
to open the wall
and remove all
of the honey and
the honeycomb.
If not removed,
the honey will
rot, producing
strong odours
and seeping stains,
which will
attract other pests. |
