Riverside and San Diego Bee Control
The common honey bee gets its name from the honey they produce using nectar from flowers. With the major roll they play in nature it is no wonder why at Black Knight Pest Control we strive to protect the hive and work with local bee keepers in the community to relocate the hive when possible. In the Temecula, Hemet, Riverside, and San Diego are we have seen a rise in honey bee activity.
The two most commonly encountered kinds of honey bees in the U.S are the European honey bee, and the much more aggressive Africanized honey bee.

Even though honey bees hold to be a great asset in nature they can also be dangerous when they are around people who are allergic. Be cautious in where you plant flowered vegetation, remove soda cans, and water dishes. Lawns should be free of flowering seeds when small children are in the home that are allergic to a bee’s sting.
A bee infestation can deter customers away from a business, and be a nightmare for homeowners. Calling a bee professional is recommended when faced with a bee problem.
