Killing bees is not recommended, as bees play a vital role in pollination and the overall health of the ecosystem. Instead of killing bees, consider taking measures to prevent them from nesting or stinging, such as removing potential nesting sites or wearing protective clothing. If bees become a significant nuisance or pose a danger, contact a local beekeeper or pest control professional for assistance in safely relocating the bees.

Where do bees like to nest?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Both the Western honey bee that we have in the UK and Europe and the Eastern honey bee that lives in India and eastwards are cavity nesters. Usually they prefer to be a distance off the ground to deter predators.

In the wild that means they would look for a hollow tree or even a small cave in places where suitable trees are scarce. But that also means that man-made cavities could be attractive too: a cosy gap between two walls or in a shed.

Other bees have their own particular preferences. Quite a few of them - some bumble bees and miner bees - like to burrow into the earth, especially if it is very dry. Check out a few of the websites and books available - there are thousands of bees so a short answer is impossible.

Is the yellow ladybug poisonous?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, yellow ladybugs are not poisonous.

Specifically, the Asian ladybug beetle (Harmonia axyridis) is one of the insects in question (Coccinellidae family) whose background coloring can be orange, red or yellow. Such bright colors serve to warn potential predators of a distasteful meal. A predator famished enough to go ahead and eat a yellow ladybug would suffer an upset digestion but would not die unless some other complicating factor - such as severe dehydration or pesticide exposure - is involved.
