The purposeful use of an insect to suppress other insects is one type of biological control and dates back at least to the fourth century AD when ants were manipulated to control citrus pests in China. A number of beneficial insects occur naturally in your yard and garden. Learn to identify them and consider their needs in planning and maintaining your garden. Organic methods of controlling insects must be applied with patience because like nature remedies are not rapid and generally re- applications are necessary.
Bees are essential to the pollination cycle of many flowers and plants.
As long as they're not swarming on your house, let them go about their business. Don't bother bees, and they won't bother you. However, if you find a swarm in your house, get professional help from a beekeeper or exterminator. Many people are allergic to the stings of bees, yellow jackets, hornets, wasps, or fire ants, and the reaction can be life-threatening. Emergency action is essential, because without prompt treatment the person may die.
