“I called Pest Management Systems, Inc. requesting information about pest services concerning a particular insect I was seeing in my rental property. The receptionist was very knowledgeable concerning the insect with regards to how they breed and their season for egg hatching. She also advised me of alternative approaches to handle the situation. I really appreciate the fact that Pest Management Systems, Inc. did not attempt to sell a service that probably would not have provided the results I wished (like other popular pest control companies in my area attempted to do). I will definitely consider Pest Management Systems, Inc. in the near future. ”

Habitat
Honey bees produce honey from nectar of the plants they pollinate. They store the honey in their nests in cells made of wax. They often build their nests in tree crevices but will occasionally build nests in attics or chimneys.
Management
Threats
Honey bees are capable of delivering a painful sting. Each bee is capable of stinging only once. They leave behind their stinger and venom gland, which will continue to inject venom into the wound. Rapid but careful removal of the stinger and venom gland is recommended to reduce the amount of venom introduced into the wound. Individuals that are allergic to bee stings may experience more severe reactions, and should seek immediate medical attention if stung.
