Bees

 

Why they’re a concern

• While bees are essential pollinators, they can pose a serious safety risk when nesting close to homes, schools, or businesses

• Wasps are more aggressive and can sting repeatedly, causing pain or even allergic reactions

• Swarms or hidden nests may lead to dangerous encounters for residents and pets

Where they thrive

• Bees: Wall cavities, roofs, chimneys, tree hollows, garden structures

• Wasps: Roof eaves, pipes, garden sheds & sheltered exterior areas

Common species in South Africa

• Honey Bee: vital for pollination; protected and removed responsibly

• Yellow Jacket Wasp: highly defensive with a painful sting

Common signs to look out for

• Increased bee or wasp activity near a single point

• Visible nests in roof spaces, eaves or trees

• A constant buzzing sound inside walls or ceilings

• Swarms clustering temporarily on branches or structures

Health & safety risks

• Stings can lead to severe allergic reactions

• Wasps may attack in numbers if nests are disturbed

• DIY removal can result in aggressive behaviour and injuries
