Bumble bees and honey bees are common bee types to be seen around homes. Large bumble bees, with their fuzzy appearance and yellow stripes, may be confused for carpenter bees. Bumble bees prefer to make their hives close to the ground. They will happily move into abandoned rodent holes or into the spaces between logs of a woodpile. Foundations of sheds are another place you may find a bumble bee colony.
Honey bees are smaller than bumble bees, usually around one half an inch long. They live in larger colonies than bumble bees and nest off the ground in trees or logs. Occasionally honey bees may take up residence in walls and attics of a home.
Bees seek out pollen, and other sweet food sources. Often it is sticky residue from fruit juice or a soda spill that can attract bees to a place near people. Open garbage cans can attract them as well. At times, bees find a good place to live in and around homes when the location provides shelter, easy access, and nearby food.
Bees are beneficial pollinators that serve an important role in agriculture, however they do not belong in your home. Both bumble and honey bees may sting when they feel threatened. While bee stings are uncomfortable to most people, some may experience severe allergic reactions.
