Bumble bee control is similar to the techniques of controlling all other species of bees, wasps, and hornets. Bumble bees are pollinating bees, however they WILL sting. But, some bumble bees will also spray feces, and some do throw up honey. People who are allergic to bumble bees, bees, wasps, hornet, etc., may end up having a serious medical condition or an allergic reaction. Bumble bees are most active when temperatures are below 50F (10C; lowest observed flight at 26F/-3.6C) whereas, most bees stop being active at 61F (16C). Bumble bees are social insects which means that they live in nests or colonies. An adult bumble bee worker is about 1/4''- 1''long and the Queen Bumble bee are about 3/4''1''long. They are black with yellow markings and they will look fuzzy overall. The Queen Bumble bee will lay her eggs and she will die and the workers and other queen bees will take care of the young.
Bumble Bees do not dig holes or make tunnels in the wood; however they will nest in vacant rodent burrows, under piles of grass clippings or leaves, stones, logs, etc. Once in a while, bumble bees will build a nest above the ground and they are usually on a wall, firewood pile, sheds, crawl spaces, or attics.
