Do We Treat For Bees?

Do We Treat for Bees? Here’s When to Call Us and When to Call a Beekeeper

Bees buzzing around your home can make anyone nervous—especially if you have kids, pets, or allergies. But before you rush to call a pest control company, it’s important to ask: Do we treat for bees? The answer isn’t always straightforward, and the right response depends on the type of bee, the location, and the risk level.

At Mosquito Sheriff, we take a responsible, eco-conscious approach to all pest control, including bee-related concerns. In this post, we’ll explain when to call us, when to call a professional beekeeper, and how we help protect your home—without harming the pollinators that protect our planet.

🐝 First, Know Your Bees

Not all bees are the same, and not all buzzing insects are bees! Here’s a quick breakdown:

✅ Common Bee Types:

• Honeybees: Essential pollinators. Non-aggressive unless threatened. Often protected by law.

• Bumblebees: Larger, fuzzy, and typically non-aggressive. Also pollinators.

• Carpenter Bees: Drill into wood. Can damage structures but rarely sting.

• Wasps/Hornets (often mistaken for bees): Aggressive and can sting multiple times. Not true bees.

🛑 So… Do We Treat for Bees?

Short answer:
We do NOT treat for honeybees or other beneficial pollinators. But we can help with:

• Carpenter bees if they’re damaging wood structures

• Identifying if it’s a bee, wasp, or hornet

• Providing safe referrals to local beekeepers for live removal

• Treating wasp or hornet infestations, which often look like bee nests

🧑‍🌾 When to Call a Local Beekeeper

Call a licensed beekeeper if:

• You’ve spotted a swarm of honeybees on a tree, fence, or wall

• Bees are entering a structure (like a wall or attic) and not showing aggression

• You want the bees relocated, not exterminated

• You believe the bees are pollinators, not pests

Beekeepers have the training and tools to safely remove and rehome bees. Many do it for free or a small fee, depending on the situation.
