About the bumble bee #

Bumble bees are those chunky, fuzzy, slow-flying bees that most folks find charming. You can't miss them — they're big, round, and pretty noisy, with a thick coat of hair from head to toe.

Where bumble bee shows up in Boerne #

Anaqua Springs Ranch — This upscale acreage community often has issues with feral honey bee swarms. We regularly handle removals from barns, outbuildings, and old tree cavities.

When to act in Boerne #

Boerne's stinging insect cycle is similar to San Antonio's, but it starts about one week later in spring and wraps up one week earlier in fall, thanks to its higher elevation and cooler nights. According to Penn State Extension, honey bee swarming peaks in May here, while in San Antonio it’s typically in April. Paper wasps start building their nests in early June. Yellowjacket season and cicada killer activity run from July to September. The winter lull lasts from roughly mid-November to mid-February.

How we treat bumble bee in Boerne #

A few things we won't do: we won't spray from 20 feet and call it done, we won't sell you a six-month contract for a problem that's going to resolve in three weeks anyway, and we won't recommend treatment if what you've got is harmless. That last one happens more often than you'd think with bumble bee calls in Boerne.
