Tampa African Honey Bees in Tree hole

Tampa Killer Bees in Tree-Hole

Bees LOVE to build their nests in Tree holes.. the holes you see in larger trees, often where a limb used to be. Many trees are hollow inside and can have dozens of feet of a nice, insulated void for the bee colony to build it's nest of wax, pollen, honey and baby bees.

Tampa Honey Bees in Tree Hole

These nests can number over 50 thousand individuals, and often become rather ornery or flat-out mean, stinging people, pets and passer-bys.

Please, don't attempt a treatment or removal of these Tampa bees, as most are now Africanized, AKA "Killer Bees", and you can incite a neighborhood-wide stinging event that can last for days!We've had fatalities occur in Florida because of improper stinging insect removal techniques.

Amateure Bee Keeper Causes Big Sting-AllFloridaBeeRemoval.com

PEORIA, Ariz. -- Peoria Homeowner Lesley Brewer has a lot of explaining to do.There were hundreds of dead bees leftover from Tuesday.“Bees were everywhere and coming after me. I didn't know what to do. I took my stuff off and took off,” said Latroy Campbell, 17.On Tuesday, Campbell ran from a swarm of bees coming from the 7200 block of West Yucca Street.The teen was stung multiple times so was a firefighter.Brewer said admits four years ago she kept Italian honey bees but never Africanized killer bees. She went on to say that didn't know the bees were on her property.A Peoria code enforcement officer stopped by Brewer’s home Wednesday.Brewer told the officer things got ugly when her husband went to move their old bee-keeping box.She told 3TV she wasn’t raising the bees for honey.The story is a little different from what Peoria Deputy Fire Chief Rick Picard presented. “This was an amateur bee keeper and he had hives all over his backyard,” he said.A firefighter climbed over Brewer’s back wall and got quite the surprise.“[He was] coming over the wall and disturbed the bees and, of course, they swarmed all over him. He was almost covered with all the bees when he came out,” Picard said,The deputy fire chief wants amateur bee keepers to buzz off of residential neighborhoods.“In close neighborhoods, just like there is all around the Valley, it’s against code to do it. Because people walking down the road will be attacked,” Picard said.The code enforcement officer didn’t cite Brewer because the problem had been taken care of by the time he arrived at the property

Man, 70, dead after setting fire to wasp nest in house

CEBU CITY—A 70-year-old man in a mountain village here died in a fire that he started to stop wasps from building a nest in his house, authorities said.Alfonso Lopez, who suffered severe burns, was trying to drive away wasps that were building a nest in his house in Barangay Babag which were made of light materials.According to Timoteo Gabisay, village councilor, Lopez was alone at home when he lit a pile of leaves hoping that the smoke from the burning leaves would drive the wasps away.The wasps had been building a nest on a bamboo wall of the house. The fire that Lopez started, however, grew and started to burn the wall, according to Gabisay.Lopez tried to put the fire out as neighbors shouted at him urging him to flee his burning house.The 70-year-old man, however, didn’t immediately flee as he tried to carry food with him.Lopez was found lying on his stomach with severe burns on the back just outside his burned house.The village was so remote that firemen failed to reach the burning house hours after the fire started.Gabisay said he believed Lopez, who was known to have difficulty walking as a result of old age, tripped on his way out of his burning house.Gabisay quoted one of Lopez’s son, Rizaldy, as saying the P23,000 Lopez was saving was burned, too.The city has been hit by a series of fires in recent days, mostly razing poor communities.Millions of pesos have been lost in property value in the fires, which also kept city officials busy dealing with resettlement concerns.

Woman Faces Jail Time Over Bee Hives

LOUISBURG- NC -- A Louisburg woman is facing possible jail time over a local ordinance that she feels is unfair and unconstitutional.WRAL-TV reports that Pat Walker is scheduled to face a judge Tuesday to determine whether she will go to jail for 20 days and be forced to give up her beehives.Walker said her family started keeping honeybees last March.After two months, the family received a letter from Louisburg police telling them they were violating a town ordinance saying hives have to be at least 75 feet from a neighbor's property line.Louisburg Councilman Boyd Sturges said the ordinance doesn't restrict most homeowners from keeping bees, but he couldn't estimate the percentage of homes that would be allowed to keep bees and still abide by the 75-feet rule.
