REMOVING DAMAGING BEE AND WASP HIVES FROM YOUR COLORADO HOME
According to the University of Colorado, there are more than 19,500 different kinds of bees in the world, and in North America alone, there are approximately 3,500 different species. In 2011, the university conducted a survey of bees in the state of Colorado, and the u201cColorado Bee Listu201d documents nearly 950 kids of bees living in the state. While these common insects may be most well-known for their painful sting, bees play an important role in our ecosystem that you may not know about. For example, did you know that bees are in charge of helping trees, plants, and flowers grow throughout the state of Colorado? From Grand Junction to Glenwood Springs, bees are responsible for pollinating 75% of our greenery. Across the U.S., bees help more than $15 billion in crops grow each year u2014 helping our agricultural industry feed America. The most famous kind of stinging insect here in the U.S., the honeybee, isnu2019t actually native to our area. It was brought to the U.S. by European settlers a long time ago. Today, the honeybee and its other cousin-bee species that live here have an important role to play in keeping Colorado healthy. But we can all agree that their important role is best played outdoors! When bees and wasps come inside our homes, they can actually cause more problems than just a sting. Letu2019s take a look at how these insects harm homes in Colorado each year. https://www.foundationrepairwesterncolorado.com/what-hive-is-it/
