tampa bees

Appearance: yellowish-brown with dark brown bands on the abdomen

Size: 3/8 to ½ inch

Alias: Killer Bees

Crimes: Painful sting

 

Africanized Honey Bees

Behavior: Compared to the more common European bee they are more defensive if provoked, respond faster and in larger swarms, and will travel greater distances from their nest to chase an intruder. Also, vibrations from motors and loud noises, such as the sound of a lawnmower, seem to disturb them greatly.

Control: Africanized honey bees cannot be distinguished with the naked eye and should be treated with caution as one would with other bees or wasps. If a nest or nesting site is found it should be handled by a pest control professional such as Prevail Pest Control. If you do disturb a nest and start to get stung, try to stay calm and get away as quickly and safely as possible. Cover your head and with a jacket or shirt and run in a straight line into the nearest shelter. Africanized honey bees have been known to nest in utility boxes; to prevent this from occurring, seal cracks and holes or cover them with small-gauge wire mesh. Also check the walls and eaves of all structures and approach abandoned structures with caution. If you are stung and have a known allergy to bee or wasp stings, seek medical attention immediately.
