Honey bees are golden or yellow-brown in color.
The natural nesting site of the honey bee is a sheltered, darkened enclosure. Homeowners also may encounter honey bee swarms, consisting of a mass of worker bees and a queen, that have clustered at an exposed location. Bumble bees are another kind of bee that may need to be controlled. Bumble bees are large, hairy, black and yellow insects. Though bumble bees are primarily ground nesters, they occasionally nest in debris, such as old dressers, little-used equipment stored outside or similar protected sites.
