Signs of a Honey Bee Infestation<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Honey bee infestations are usually not obvious at first due to them being all over the place during the warmer months. Although, there a few signs you can look out for that well tell you if you have honey bees or a honey bee infestation. One of the surefire signs of an infestation is buzzing and humming sounds being heard in your house. This does not mean that the bees are in the house, rather that there are so many of them outside your home in a particular area that you can hear them while inside your house. You won\u2019t hear just a few as the buzzing and humming sounds are not too loud; however, once the honey bee colony has grown to large size you will begin to hear the sounds as they collectively buzz and hum. Another sign that is easy to spot is a \u201cwet spot\u201d. What we mean by a wet spot is melted honey or wax comb on your ceilings and walls. Once the infestation has grown you will begin to see these melted substances melt into your home from the outside. This can cause quite a bit of damage to the home so it\u2019s critical to pay attention to other signs before it gets this bad. The last sign you will see is honey bees in your home. This one is a little bit more unlikely than the other two; nonetheless, it happens to many people who are dealing with an infestation. The honey bees will begin to fly through your home in hopes they find food to munch on. When this starts to happen it\u2019s time to call in an expert such as one from Quality Pest Control to get rid of these bees safely and carefully.<\/span><\/p>\n
