What Are the Differences Between Bees and Wasps?
For more information, check out our wasp and hornet control page.
- Appearance: Bees have round, fuzzy bodies; wasps appear sleek, shiny, and narrow.
- Diet: Bees focus on gathering pollen and nectar; wasps are predators that hunt other bugs or scavenge for food.
- Temperament: Most bees are relatively docile; wasps tend to be much more aggressive.
- Stinging: A honeybee can only sting once before dying; wasps are capable of stinging multiple times.
- Nests: Bees build structures out of waxy honeycomb; wasps create nests from a papery wood-pulp material. For more information, check out our wasp and hornet control page.

The Bee Control Process – How Does It Work?
When a colony settles in a high-traffic area, like a deck or a garden path, it creates a potentially dangerous situation. Our three-step method is designed to resolve the issue safely:
- Inspection: A bee control specialist will survey your property to find active hives and potential entry points. We check common nesting spots like wall voids, soffits, and outbuildings to create a targeted plan for your home.
- Precision Treatment: We utilize Integrated Pest Management techniques that address the colony while keeping your family’s safety at the forefront. Our methods are timed and applied to solve the immediate problem with minimal impact on the surrounding environment.
- Preventative Measures: To keep your backyard bee-free, we provide expert recommendations on making your property less inviting for future swarms. This helps ensure you can enjoy your outdoor space without worry.
