The Nature of Bees

• As much as you may hate bees, they are actually
  an important part of the environment. Without
  them, farms would have serious issues. Even with
  that in play, you probably dont want them
  relocating in your backyard.

Know What Youre Dealing With

• Understanding whether youre dealing with a
  honeybee or something more serious is an
  important step, particularly given the fact that
  there are more than 20,000 species of bees
  worldwide.

Bumblebees 101

• Youll find bumblebees making a nest in the
  ground, your attic, or just under a beam on the
  roof. As a bumblebee approaches, the buzzing gets
  much louder because they become more aggressive.
  The key to dealing with these bees is to
  eliminate any potential nesting areas around your
  home.

A Carpenter Bee Overview

• Carpenter bees can make a nest inside the wood of
  your home. The real problem is that, unlike other
  bees, they dont have barbed stingers, so they
  can sting as frequently as they want. They tend
  to like bare wood more than stained and painted
  surfaces.

Understanding Honeybees

• You may recognize honeybees more than any other
  type. They pollinate many of the crops in the US.
  They can only sting a single time, as the stinger
  rips off once they fly away. Removal when youre
  dealing with this type of bee can be a massive
  operation.

Bee-Proofing Your Home

• Its not as difficult as you might imagine to
  keep the bees away. Start in your yard. Are the
  spots that may seem more attractive to bees like
  voids in tree branches. If you find any, be sure
  to block them with screens and caulk.
