Why european honey bee matters in Stone Oak #

Why european honey bee shows up the way it does in Stone Oak specifically — as opposed to, say, Dallas or the coast — comes down to the ground, the trees, and what people have built on top of both.

In the corridor from San Antonio through Boerne, Leon Springs, Fair Oaks Ranch, and into Kerrville, mature live oaks are the top choice for natural cavities. On homes, we most often find stinging insects in wall voids behind stone or stucco, soffit returns, chimney flues, and water meter boxes. Meter boxes are a big problem — CPS Energy and San Antonio Water System readers frequently come across occupied bee colonies in these boxes during the spring swarm season.

How we treat european honey bee in Stone Oak #

What we actually do on a european honey bee job in Stone Oak depends on three things: where the nest is, how old the building is, and what the family situation looks like. Ground nest on a lot with young kids and a dog gets treated very differently than an aerial nest in an empty guest house. We'll talk that through on site.
