The Bee Invasion: What Makes Your Walls a Perfect Hive?
Warmth
– Walls offer a warm and sheltered environment, ideal for raising a bee colony.
Hollow Spaces
– Gaps between walls mimic natural cavities, like tree trunks, that bees instinctively seek out.
South-Facing Walls
– These get the most sun, keeping the hive warm and active longer during the day.
Minimal Disturbance
– Inside walls, bees can remain undisturbed by predators, people, and weather.
Scent Trails
– If bees have nested before, leftover wax and pheromones can attract future swarms.
Proximity to Flowers
– If your yard is rich in blooms, your house becomes prime real estate for foraging bees.
Moisture Control
– Walls often offer better climate control than exposed outdoor hives, helping bees preserve honey.
Lack of Awareness
– Many homeowners don’t notice bee activity until the hive is fully established.
