Bees often get the blame for other pestering
insects
  • Bumble Bees
  • Yellow Jackets
  • Sweat Bees
  • Wasps

But Honeybees are specific and easy to tell
apart from the others.

insects are honeybees

leave their stinger
  • Honeybees have a barbed stinger and this causes
    their stinger to stay behind.

Beekeepers maintaining European bees are a first
line of defense
  • AHB is just looking for new foraging grounds,
  • The presence of well maintained European
    honeybees will help to fill the vacuum that would
    result in their absence.
