 A
Word of Caution Regarding Bees
Southern California is home to two different types of honeybees -
the European Honey Bee and Africanized Honey Bee (AHB). Both have
the same appearance and can sting only once with the same type of
venom. However, Africanized Honey Bees are far more aggressive and
guard a larger area around their hives. They are also more easily
agitated and respond with larger swarms.
Citizens can create
a safe environment in and around their homes by eliminating potential
nest sites such as empty containers, holes in fences, or unused sheds.
Be sure to check around structures and close off gaps which are more
than 1/8 inch. Cover rain spouts and vents with 1/8 inch hardware
cloth. Watch for regular activity of bees during spring, summer, and
fall.
If you find a
nest or swarm in or on your PRIVATE property, do not try to
remove it yourself. Los Angeles County residents can call the AHB
Service Hotline at (800) 925-3800 to find out what bee services
are available within your zip code or check the yellow pages of a
local telephone directory.
If you need to
report a beehive located on PUBLIC property that needs to be removed,
please report the location immediately to the City of Gardena Public
Works Department at
(310) 217-9568.
If you have an
emergency due to a severe bee-stinging incident, DIAL 911 immediately.
