Wasps, Bees, and Bumble Bees:
 
German, Common and the Paper Wasps, can be distinguished from bees by their shiny hairless bodies and distinct black and yellow stripes. Honey bees have much less distinct stripes of browns. Bumble bees are much larger, are rounded and have furry bodies.
Wasps
 
The Asian Paper wasp forms much smaller colonies than the Common or German and the nest will have only a few tens of cells in an open type nest.
 
Bumble Bees
 
Bumble bees are beneficial insects. They are large round hairy bees that are often seen feeding at flowers in a garden. Bumble Bees are generally harmless, only using their sting when heavily provoked and are found in much smaller colonies than honey bees. The Solitary Bees do not form colonies, but may be found nesting in some numbers at a good nest site. Solitary bees are not aggressive and possess only a weak sting that rarely penetrates human skin.
 
Honey bees
 
Bees are generally beneficial insects producing honey and pollinating our crops and flowers. However, occasionally a swarm will set up home in an inappropriate place such as the eaves of your house. In this case we strongly recommend that you contact a local beekeeper (see the National Beekeepers Association swarm collection contact list) who may try and collect the colony to use for honey production. Only if this is not possible should the colony be destroyed.
If bees have been present for months or years at the nest site, there is likely to be a honey store in the nest. Once the colony has been destroyed this honey must be removed or it will attract new swarms of bees or wasps.
 
Treatment
The nests of wasps, bees and bumble bees generally have only one entrance and exit. If this can be identified the colony can be destroyed by puffing the Insecticidal Dust into the entrance. The workers will then pick up the dust as they enter the nest and take it inside where it will kill larvae and queens.
Aerosol spray treatment or residual spray treatment will be carried out if they are indoors
