It’s just natural that during this time of the year, when the leaves are starting to change and the nights are getting that chill in the air, that bees and wasps are readying themselves for the winter.

If you are stuck with the misfortune of having a bee or wasps hive to deal with, making use of professional residential pest control services is a safer and recommended option, rather than taking the risk upon yourself.

Bees

As the days begin to shorten and the temperature starts to drop, native bees and honeybees work for long hours during the light, collecting enough nectar to sustain the colony and themselves throughout the winter. The bees have gone into food-gathering mode, and this is a stressful time for them. They will hunker down in their hive for the entire winter, leaving only on unseasonably warm winter days.  They are not out to sting you, they are just busy bees. The fate of the colony depends on it.

Wasps

As the seasons start to turn, wasps are also making the most of the last warmth. This time of year, the queen stops laying eggs, and the food-gathering strategy of the wasp colony changes. The male wasps now have the opportunity to gorge themselves on sweets and carbohydrates before they are killed off by the first hard frost of winter. This too for the wasp is a time of increased activity and more frequent contact with humans.
