Bumble Bee Nest Treatment sting dogs: ALLFloridaBeeRemoval.com 800.343.5317

We excavate a Bumble Bee (Bombus sp.) nest from under a backyard deck in Gainesville, Florida.

This colony of bumble bees was located in a small back yard and had stung one of the client's dogs and threatened the other dogs and owner. The landlord had tried to treat using gasoline and wasp spray, so a live removal was not warranted.

We usually eradicate these bumble bee colonies anyway, as removing them can be risky to neighbors and pets. Plus the cost is usually higher, and clients elect to eradicate. Yes, we are concerned about pollinator diversity and health, and sure hate to eradicate colonies such as this. But, safety to humans and pets come first, plus, we support pollinator health and diversity programs. Plant meadows. Allow your yards to go fallow. Reduce pesticide usage by practicing Integrated Pest Management practices.

@nothxkbi Most of the info in this video is highly inacurate. First off he said they live together like an apartment and are not related. False. They are all related and the nest was founded by a single queen. She had to raise that nest all by herself. Then he workers take over the work while she lays eggs and incubates. All he needed to do was move the nest at night. I've relocated tons, without a bee suit or any gear. With a bee suit it would have been as easy and picking the nest up.

Here a idea.. You should try and get the nest with the bees inside of it and bag'em up send them to a honey place or maybe try to put them in a remote area, so they can still strive. :D
