Springtime Bee Activity: What You Need to Know About Honey Bees, Yellow Jackets, and Hornets

As temperatures rise and flowers bloom, spring signals a busy season for bees, yellow jackets, and hornets. Honey bee colonies expand, often leading to swarming, while yellow jackets and hornets build new nests in walls, attics, or underground. If left unchecked, these insects can pose risks to homeowners, making professional bee removal essential.

Signs of a Bee or Wasp Infestation

If you notice these warning signs, you may have a honey bee, hornet, or yellow jacket infestation on your property:

  • Increased buzzing near walls, soffits, or trees
  • Visible nests under eaves, in attics, or in the ground
  • Bees or wasps entering small cracks in siding or vents
  • Dark stains on drywall (a sign of honeycomb inside)

Ignoring an infestation can lead to structural damage, painful stings, and reinfestation, especially if the nest or hive is not properly removed.

Why DIY Bee or Wasp Removal Is Dangerous

Many homeowners attempt DIY bee and wasp removal, but this can be extremely dangerous. Disturbing a nest can trigger aggressive swarming, leading to painful stings—or even life-threatening allergic reactions. Yellow jackets and hornets, in particular, are highly territorial and will attack in large numbers if threatened.

Additionally, simply sealing off a hive without removing the bees, honey, and comb can attract new swarms, wax moths, and even rodents, causing further damage.
