Littleborough BumbleBee Control Experts

Bumblebees are one of the most typical varieties in the country. They are big in size and round in shape, with furry, dark and gold coloured bodies. They are social insects and live in colonies. The bee queens first set up their home earlier in the year, commonly choosing places, such as:
- bushes and trees
- wall cavities
- roofs, attics, chimneys.

One particular variety, the tree bumblebees, first appeared in the country only about a decade ago. Since then, the tree bumblebees have made their bold stamp on the insect landscape, resourcefully setting up nests in bird boxes, tree hollows, under roof tiles.

Once established, the bumblebee colony develops and quickly becomes fully functioning, housing a large number of insects. All bumblebees possess a sting and will use it effectively to defend their home - they can be very aggressive and will sting if the nest is disturbed or if they feel under threat. Therefore if their colony is permanently established in close proximity to residential or commercial property it can cause a serious disruption to your day-to-day routines or loss of business. The presence of the nest can also pose a significant danger to health due to the possibility of people in its vicinity being stung.

The main health risks associated with a bumblebee sting are:

- pain, swelling, itching, hives
- facial swelling or swelling of the tongue or the throat
- allergy to the bee venom - the sting can trigger a mild response or severe reaction, such as potentially life-entreating anaphylaxis.
