Honey bees nest in a wide variety of places, especially Africanized honey bees. Check animal burrows, water meter boxes, overturned flower pots, trees and shrubs. DO keep pets and children indoors when using weed eaters, hedge clippers, tractor power mowers, chain saws, etc. Attacks frequently occur when a person is mowing the lawn or pruning shrubs and inadvertently strikes a bee's nest. DO avoid excessive motion when near a colony.
Bees are much more likely to respond to an object in motion than a stationary one.
DON'T pen, tie or tether animals near bee hives or nests. DON'T destroy bee colonies or hive, especially with pesticides. Honey bee are a vital link to U.S. agriculture. DON'T remove bees yourself. You also can call your local county health department or county extension office.
