Understanding Bees and Wasps in Michigan

Bees and wasps both belong to the Hymenoptera family but are distinct species with different behaviors. Bees are generally more docile and play a crucial role as pollinators. Wasps tend to be more aggressive and are carnivorous, feeding on other insects and spiders. While bees are usually beneficial to have around, wasps can be a nuisance. Common bee species in Michigan include honey bees, bumble bees, carpenter bees, and sweat bees. On the other hand, Michigan is home to various wasp species, such as paper wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets.

Bees and Wasps Prevention and Control

Despite the potential risks associated with bees and wasps, their presence is essential for the health of our environment. Many of our food sources would be severely threatened without them. Therefore, it is crucial to educate ourselves and others on how to coexist safely with these vital insect species.

Sometimes, a local beekeeper can help by removing the bees without hurting them. The beekeeper might keep the bees, sell them, or help someone else take care of them in a special bee box. However, not all beekeepers can do this job. Most of the time, the bees being removed are western honey bees. But there are also Africanized bees, which are a mix of different bee types, that can be moved safely too.

Relocation

Beekeepers and special companies sometimes move honeybee nests from places where they are not wanted to new homes called artificial hives. This process is known as a “cut out.”

Animal Destruction

Black bears and grizzly bears often break into beehives because they are looking for honey and the protein-rich larvae inside. To keep bears away, people can use fences that give a small electric shock. These fences can be powered by plugging them into an outlet or using solar energy for places without electricity.

In some parts of Africa, farmers use beehives to protect their crops from elephants. These beehives are hung on a wire that goes around the fields. The idea, created by Lucy King, is to scare the elephants away because they are afraid of bees.

Human Destruction

People have been destroying beehives for a long time to collect honey, beeswax, and other bee products. Nowadays, there are modern methods to collect honey without harming the bees, like using special honey frames and centrifuges. Sometimes, people need to destroy beehives to keep others safe or to stop the spread of bee diseases. For example, in Florida in 1999, Africanized honey bee hives were destroyed. In Alaska, there are rules for dealing with sick hives, including burning them, burying them, or using special gases to fumigate them. In New Zealand and the United Kingdom, if hives are infected with a disease called American foulbrood, beekeepers must burn the hives by law to stop the disease.

Beehives

A beehive is a special home where some honey bees live and take care of their babies. Even though people often use the word “beehive” to talk about any bee home, scientists and experts make a difference between a “nest” and a “hive.” A nest is where bees live in natural places like trees or in places humans didn’t make. A hive is a man-made structure made for bees to live in.

There are different kinds of honey bees that live in colonies, or big groups, together. The most important ones for making honey are the western honey bee (called Apis mellifera) and the eastern honey bee (called Apis cerana).

Inside a beehive, there’s something called a honeycomb, which is made up of lots of tiny, six-sided cells made out of a material called beeswax. These cells are like little rooms where bees store their food (honey and pollen) and take care of their young (eggs, larvae, and pupae).

Beehives are useful in many ways. They help produce honey, pollinate crops, provide bees for special health treatments, and help solve problems when bee colonies start to die off. In America, people often move hives to different places so bees can help pollinate plants there. There are many different designs for beehives, and some of them even have patents!
