Painting Safety Tip

While working on a project out of town, the painters were sanding the front of the house and they noticed a large swarm of bees coming from the front deck. At first, they thought nothing of it, but the bees continued to gather. Here’s what to do if you find a beehive.

It was determined that the bees had built a hive in the deck. We contacted a local beekeeper and he was able to come and rehome the bees.

Tip: Contact a professional if you encounter a beehive during exterior painting. Visit Pest.org for additional tips.
