Bee-lieve It or Not: Strange Places Bees Have Called Home (Including Your Walls)
Inside Walls of Homes – Yes, it's true. Bees can squeeze through tiny cracks and set up entire colonies inside your walls, buzzing away between the drywall.
Old Cars – Abandoned or parked for too long? Bees love the dry, enclosed spaces. Some cars have been found with hives in the trunk or engine.
Barbecues and Grills – These outdoor items, especially if covered, can become cozy hideaways for bees when not in use.
Attics and Chimneys – High up and rarely disturbed, attics and chimneys offer bees privacy to build massive hives unnoticed.
Toilets and Outhouses – Believe it or not, bees have been found nesting in outhouses and under toilet seats in remote areas.
Tree Hollows – A natural favorite! Tree hollows offer bees shelter, and they’ll choose one over a man-made hive if given the chance.
Water Meters – The small underground space around water meters is often dry and cool—a perfect bee hotel.
Behind Bathroom Mirrors – Sounds bizarre, but there are cases where bees slipped in through vents and built behind mirrors!
