Pompano Beach Bee & Wasp Removal

• The race most people know is the European Honey Bee (EHB).
• Killer bees are African Honey Bees (AHB).
• Africanized Honey Bees are a hybrid of these two species.
• They were brought to Brazil in the 1950s.
• The goal was to create a better honey producer for tropical areas.
• Many escaped, and over the next five decades, large colonies formed in the tropics and subtropics of America.

Both Africanized and European bees can build colonies in various environments, but Africanized bees adapt especially well to South Florida’s warm climate and urban spaces. In Pompano Beach and surrounding communities, lush landscaping, steady rainfall, and mild winters mean bee colonies can thrive year-round. You may find nests in attics, wall voids, outdoor utility boxes, or garden sheds. Because Africanized bees respond rapidly and defend nests more aggressively, hiring a professional bee exterminator is the safest decision in our region.

Bee Swarm

What the AHB’s Are Known For:

• Africanized bees defend their queen and nest more intensely than European Honey Bees.
• They sense danger quickly, even when people or animals are 50 to 100 feet away.
• They will chase an enemy up to a mile or more.
• Africanized bees behave more aggressively, swarm more often, and act less predictably than EHBs.
• They mature faster, and the queen lays more eggs than the EHB.

Africanized bees—sometimes called killer bees—have their reputation because they pursue perceived threats persistently and defend their nests strongly. Residents of Broward and Palm Beach counties have reported cases where Africanized bees mobilized quickly after even minor vibrations or noise. Our bee exterminator team in Pompano Beach educates property owners on common triggers—like lawn mowing or loud equipment—that can spike bee activity. Fast, professional assessment reduces risk during the high-activity season from spring through fall.

What You Should Be Aware Of:

• Africanized bees tend to nest in unexpected places—removal of the honeycomb is crucial after bees are removed. If left, it can attract hive beetles, ants, and other bees searching for a new nest.
• The rate of stinging incidents for humans and animals is rising due to their aggressive behavior.
• Educate others about the intense threat Africanized bees present.
• Any nests close to homes or domestic animals should be removed.
• Peak swarming season is spring through fall.
• If you hear buzzing, be cautious—there may be a swarm nearby.
• Do not start power equipment or try to disturb a bee swarm.
• Move away from swarms as quickly as possible.
• Protect your eyes and face. Take shelter in an enclosed area. Do not jump into water or a pool; bees may wait for you to resurface.
• Do not stand still and swat at bees; this can make them sting and become more aggressive.
