Bee Friendly Pest Control
We are Bee Friendly!
Many people have a difficult time distinguishing the difference between bees and wasps, often considering them in the same family because of their ability to provide a painful sting.
Both are not pollinators. Bees with their hairy body are the ones that collect nectar from plants, which promotes agricultural health.
Wasps with their smooth bodies feed mostly on small insects.
Wasps are attracted to your barbecue, while bees are attracted to your garden.
Check out Wikipedia for more information on identifying Bees, Yellow Jackets, Wasps and Hornets.
