Questions people ask
Questions about bee, wasp and hornet nests
When are wasps and hornets at their worst?
Nests grow all summer. Late summer is when they are biggest and the insects defend them hardest.
Will they come back to the same spot?
Wasps do not reuse an old nest, but a sheltered spot can draw a new queen the next spring. We point out the spots that keep drawing them.
Do you remove honey bees?
Honey bees are handled differently. If we find honey bees, we tell you and point you to a beekeeper.
