Why is it Important to Save Bees Instead of Having Them Killed?
Common Questions/Safety Concerns:
What do I do if I have Africanized Bees? Â Are they all Africanized?
There is no way to tell by looking at a bee if they are Africanized or not. Â The only way to know if through a lab test. Africanized bees are about 10% smaller. Â Some people say that all the bees in AZ are Africanized and I’m not sure that is true. Â I have seen every kind of bee there is. Â Black bees, yellow bees…highly aggressive bees that would chase me a mile and other hives so docile I could take off my suit around them.
The rule for bees is this, they only attack when they feel threatened. Â If you are handling them (or they think you are) or if you get too close to their hive that is a prime case for stinging. Â They are especially protective of their hive, the queen, their honey, and their brood (babies). Â If you see bees going in and out of a hole, either in a tree, or a house, or the dirt, assume that is a hive. Â Bee hives don’t always look like a stack of white boxes. Â The wild, feral bees will make their homes in anything that will provide shade and has space inside to build comb.
If you get too close you may get chased. Â The very aggressive bees may chase you quite far. Â Instead of 5-10 guard bees that chase you 10 feet, 500 bees can chase you 1 mile! Â So if you are being chased what should you do? Â Read on…..
What do I do if they chase me, my family or my pets?
Get inside!  This seems like the worst thing to do because you don’t want them following you inside, but for some reason they don’t.  In my experience, bees are timid of going inside and generally won’t enter the doorway. If they do it’s always by accident and they immediately look for windows (they see the light) to get out.  They sense that something is not right and have no interest in the people who are in the house.
Where to go
So get inside a house, a shed, a car, all of these places discourage bees from continuing their attack on you. Â The ones who are the greatest concern are the young children. Â When they get scared they typically stop, paralyzed by fear. Â Make sure little children are supervised outside in areas unknown to you. Â Teach your children to run from bees, and run inside.
Dogs and cats
Dogs and cats usually have thick coats and even thin coats are better than soft human skin.  Animals usually know how to run or get away, but there are times this isn’t the case.  I was on a bee call and there was a feisty little Chihuahua that wanted to see us out in the yard removing a hive. It got too close and immediately started to be swarmed and stung by about one hundred bees.  Instinctively, I scooped up the dog, and ran it to the front door smacking the bees off as I went.  Within seconds the dog was inside.  A few hours later the dog was fine,  with no stings whatsoever (their hides can be quite protective), and the little guy had learned a new found respect for bees!  Needless to say he stayed away after that!
Am I safe? Â I see bees drinking from my pool (or pollinating my tree, etc)
Bees are not out to kill people.  They are busy, busy creatures.  When they are getting a drink or pollinating they really have no interest in you.  As I mentioned above, some bees are more aggressive in nature than others but the most important thing is to stay away from their hive.  Personally, I always wear a suit when I go near the hives. So if you don’t have a hive at your house and just see them pollinating or getting a drink, just let them do their thing and you’ll be fine.
How do I get them to leave my property completely?
If you have a tree, when it is in bloom you are certainly going to see bees. Â If you have a garden of any kind, you will see them when you see flowers. Â If you have a pool or water feature, they may come around for a drink.
How to set up the pool
The pool can become the most problematic as the bees sometimes fall in and then grab onto a nearby swimmer for dear life, realize they are on a human, get scared, and sting out of instinct.  You can drain the pool and they’ll go away, but if you refill it they’ll come back.  The best scenario is drain the pool, then set up a kiddie pool (like one of those small ones for $10) at the back of your yard out of the way.  Put a piece of floating wood in there to make it drown-safe for them and very inviting.  Then that will train them to go there for water.  After a week or so you can refill the pool.  Having trained them to the new pool with the floating wood, they are more likely to leave the less inviting pool alone.  But it’s never a sure bet.  The best things is to find the hive if you can.
Bees typically don’t fly further than a 5 mile radius of their hive. Â So somewhere nearby there is a hive. Â You can try and find the source to get it removed.

Stop Bees Moving into Your Home or Business Once and for All
To some home owners/ business owners this is something that sounds nice. Maybe it’s a problem they’ve only had to deal with once or twice in a few years. But to some others, it’s a problem the’ve been dealing with for years and they are just simply tired of having to deal with bees moving into their property any longer. Once bees move in they leave pheromone all over the area where they moved in. This can be extremely hard to remove. Since bees can build about the volume of a basketball in 5 days, or in other words approximately 4,000 hexagon cells of honeycomb per day. Once bees have moved into your property, you will want the best possible solution to remediate the problem area where they moved in. This is best accomplished by a 3 fold method we discuss after our removals. Part of a premium remediation will include removing all residue and pheromone possible before repairs.
In order to stop bees from moving in again, the above is the beast approach just prior to then sealing your entire property or home properly. Most companies have no idea what to look for, as they are not accustomed to where bees will move in. In our thousands of live removals, and thousands more of cleaning up dead removals from companies that botched their bee removals, we have discovered the best possible remedy for keeping bees out.
What is the Difference Between Our Dark Honey and Light Honey?
Our dark honey is definitely richer in flavor. It has a deep flavor from the pollen. The golden honey is light and sweet in flavor, like you'd expect from normal honey. But I've long suspected and wondered if that deep honey just didn't have more "stuff" in it, thus making it more nutritional, healthful, and healing. Turns out research confirms this: "Raw honey in general has lots of health benefits. Raw honey is naturally antimicrobial, and contains minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants. Studies have also shown that some raw honey contains Lactobacillus probiotics (Shin H.S, 2005). However, darker honeys have been shown to contain higher amounts of these antioxidants, minerals, and enzymes. Lighter honeys have been recorded to contain about [...]
Beekeepers in Phoenix – Exterminators Vs. Real Beekeepers
If you go onto Google and search for any type of Beekeeper or someone to save your bees. Nine time out of ten you will find Abello Bees along side a bunch of other companies that literally call themselves Beekeepers, and BeeHive Specialists, even boasting Live Bee Removal. What these companies are not Telling you is that they are actually EXTERMINATORS! Fake Vs. Real It is very true and I can't tell you the hundreds of upset customers that we've talked to on the phone and in person who called used someone else and then called us. They typically have a really hard time with the fact that they were hoodwinked into believing that the other companies were going to [...]
Repairman Nightmare Post bee removal
Dead Hives and alive hives A Good Repair company is always needed Bad Repairs and what to expect This is an interesting topic since not many people even think about what will happen after they have bees removed from their home, business, or wherever. A bad repair job can cost thousands of dollars and still not solve the problem. "WHAT?" You may be thinking, how, could I still have a problem after a repair job that goes bad. There are a few ways to avoid costly repairs, but also repairs that will not be done correctly. We will detail them below. The first being, if you have ever had the hive exterminated, you will have problems in the future. What [...]
Bee Removal Phoenix | Save the Bees
In Arizona, as well as many other southern states, bees have gotten a bad reputation because of the Africanized bee (aka the "killer bee").  There has been a lot of negative publicity and people have become very fearful of bees. While they are dangerous, and are to be respected, they are still wonderful creatures. Many times people ask me if all bees are Africanized and my response is there is really no way to tell except through a lab test.  After working with millions of bees throughout the years I can definitely tell the difference between hives.  Some are much more aggressive than others.  But some are very docile in comparison.  You don't even need a bee suit to handle [...]
Bees relocated to Wittmann
Bees can be very aggressive; however, in Wittmann they are free to roam without harsh chemicals or horrible unhealthy pesticides. In this featured video you will learn a little bit about removing bees, and even catch a glimpse of my Langstroth hive which could be used for bee hive plans. Be sure to save the bees and not kill them. The amazing part of bee relocation is that they will continue to thrive in the box and make baby bees "brood" and attach the honey comb like they never moved. Get your removal done fast though, they just keep building hives. Call 480 334 2746
Bee swarms in Tempe | multiplying and splitting in Scottsdale Arizona
Bees that look like a huge mass, typically a football size or even a beach ball; are in the "swarming" phase. Â Swarms are masses of bees that have split from another existing hive that still exists but now the swarm has a new queen. Â The new queen takes flight to find a new place to live with about 1,000-10,000 bees flying around just like in the cartoons. Â The bee swarm, unlike cartoon depictions, are actually in their most docile state. Â The reason for the unusual friendliness is the fact that they are simply full of honey, not defending anything, and they are moving usually in a nice time of year. Â So essentially they are fat and happy and really in [...]
