Tampa bee swarm in a bush. Bees located in the Carrollwood area of Tampa, the main colony located only 10 feet from the swarm. Small swarms tells us this colony could be the African Killer Bee. African bees are know for their small swarms.

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.

Bee Exterminator Disturbs Swarm, Family Stung

Bee Exterminator Disturbs Swarm, Family Stung: MyFoxPHOENIX.com

MESA – Phoenix - Our unseasonably warm weather is
stirring up bees around the valley. We've had a couple bee attacks in the last
week. Bees swarmed the family of the bee exterminator during one attack this
weekend. He had taken them to an empty house in Mesa on one of his jobs – and
that turned out to be a big mistake. Now,
what’s left is the sticky aftermath of bees, honey, and lots of foam.

Mesa Fire crews were called to finish the job in the
home’s backyard -- a job that one bee exterminator started, but may have
underestimated. “The whole street was covered in bees everywhere,” says
neighbor Zach Duncan. Four people were stung when the bees swarmed, including
the exterminator’s wife and two young kids.

“There was just a black swarm around the girl and the
boy, the beekeeper was trying to pick them off the boy, they were all over the
place.” Bee Exterminator Rick Heicksen is critical of the bee exterminator who
tried to remove the hive yesterday.

“They were unprepared, they weren’t professional and they
brought family with them, which is all of the wrong things to do,” says
Heicksen, Triple A Africanized Bee Exterminator.

Heicksen says the hives are becoming more active because
of our warmer weather. He adds, there is a right way to exterminate the bees. “We calm the bees, we consolidate them, we
smoke the bees which has a calming effect, also puts a signal out to the queen
to bring her colony in to her to bundle up around her.”

If you see bees around your property, Heicksen says, call
a professional. “Don’t get curious. Don’t poke your nose under something. Don’t
pull any material up. Go in the house immediately.”

The mom was stung 70 times, the two kids about 50 times
each. They were treated at Banner Hospital in Mesa. If a swarm is after you,
run and get to safety inside a house or a car. Don't fall to the ground -- they
will continue attacking. You have to get away from the swarm.

All Florida Bee Removal partner Alpine Farms

"Bee Removal PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla.
-- Thousands of bees made their home on the outside of a Port St. Lucie
house. But the residents of that home are struggling financially and
could not pay to get the problem solved, until they called CBS 12. Alpine Farms Bee Removal Service, an extermination company based in Palm City, saw our report on the bee invasion at the Gonzalez home. They offered to remove the hives free of charge. Alpine Farms owner, Ronnie Sharpton, says the hive is difficult to get to because it's over a screened-in back porch that doesn't have a sturdy roof. He also says there is a 90 percent chance the bees are the aggressive africanized bees. He estimates it took 40,000 bees six months to build the 60 pound hive.

Worshipping the Honey Bee-AllFloridaBeeRemoval.com

Bulgarians pray for honey, health of bees (AP)–7 minutes ago
BLAGOEVGRAD, Bulgaria (AP) — Orthodox Christians in Bulgaria on Friday observed a holiday traditionally associated here with bees and honey.It was the Day of St. Haralambos, a patron saint of beekeepers, who also is known as "the lord of all illnesses." Believers pray to him to protect their home and health.Hundreds came to the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin church to observe the holiday, and many prayed for an end to the freezing weather that has threatened honey bees and farm output in this Balkan country of 7.4 million, where some 80 percent of the people are Orthodox Christians.Beekeepers were among those who joined in a holy Mass for "the sanctification of honey."The worshippers also placed small jars holding honey and lit candles on the floor of the church to form a large cross. A priest consecrated the honey, which people here say has healing properties.Honey bees across the world have been declining in population from various causes. In Bulgaria, beekepers expect a heavy bee die-off this winter due to the severe frost.
