Bees Honey bees are recognized by an orange-brown color, are about a half-inch in size. Honey bees are not very aggressive by nature unless provoked or disturbed. When they do sting, they send off pheromones calling attention to other bees in the vicinty.

Berry's Pest Control is Africanized Honey Bee Certified. The AHB is a very aggressive bee compared to the regular honey bees that we are so familiar with. In any case, caution should be taken with bees at all times.

Wasps
Paper wasps (umbrella wasps) as they are usually known, are those species with stingers and they are capable of stinging repeatedly and surviving the attack to sting another time, the reason being is because their stingers are smooth, unlike the honeybee, which is barbed. The most common of these wasps are usually located around structures. They can build a nest of huge proportions if left undisturbed. They usually prefer fences, eaves, ridges on structures.

Yellow Jackets
Many experts in the field consider Yellow Jackets to be one of the most dangerous of the Hymenoptera in the United States, because of the insect's nesting and foraging behavior and the potential for it's venom to induce severe, life threatening allergic reactions in certain sting victims. They have a tendency to swarm and invade barbecues and picnics seeking the food and drinks that are present. They usually build their nests in the ground, trees, shrubs, attics, walls and common areas.
