Once a stable access point has
been reached, attics
make a
wonderful region for bees to create
large hives. The lack of visibility to the resident
provides ample time for bees to create large
honey comb structures.
The majority of bee hives and
swarms end up on
the limbs of
trees. As some pictures will
go to show, many hives are
perfectly camouflaged
amongst the foliage of the tree. Extra care should be taken
to notice whether trees
on your property have hives.
From lamp posts to parks, trains
to shipping yards,
bee hives thrive where
ever they can build with
minimal disturbance.
The eaves of buildings, residential and commercial, make
excellent locations for bees in addition to wasps.
Large
Hives may take up
whole areas of roofs.
Many times, exposed cracks in
stucco are the
main areas for bees to sneak into walls.
Residential
home electrical boxes as well as sub
floor vents make excellent locations for bee hives.
Bee swarms are not
discriminatory, where ever the
queen lands, the rest will quickly follow.
Wasps tend to nearly always be
found under the eaves
of homes around the Los Angeles area.
