Bee Control Program
Africanized honey bee swarms and nests are
removed when requested by citizens or emergency response units who feel their safety
or the public's safety is in jeopardy. After the swarm and/or nest is
removed, technicians will set remnant bee traps, if necessary, to collect those
bees that were away from the nest. The remnant bee trap will be baited with a
pheromone that attracts bees. The technician will return the following day and
remove the remaining bees.
