Willie The Bee Man

William (The Original Willie the Bee Man) Sklaroff became a bee hobbyist and registered beekeeper 18 years ago. People who had bee problems would call him to remove swarms and hives from their residential and commercial properties. Initially, The Original Willie the Bee Man did bee removal after teaching kindergarten at Martin Luther King Elementary School in Miami. Subsequently, bee removal became a full-time occupation, and today The Original Willie the Bee Man's staff consists of The Buzzy Dozen and 9 vehicles resolving bee problems throughout the State of Florida. As Africanized Bees were becoming problematic, The Original Willie the Bee Man flew to California for intensive training, and on May 14, 2004, The Original Willie the Bee Man became the 1st Florida bee removal specialist to be awarded Certification as an EXPERT in the control of Africanized Honey Bees. He subsequently became a member of Florida's Africanized Honey Bee Task Force. What is a Killer Bee? Killer bees are the non-technical name that many people have given to Africanized Honey Bees. These bees have earned their nickname because of their hyper-aggressive nature when it comes to the defense of their hives. Africanized Honey Bees were first noted in the United States in Texas in 1985, and have been slowly progressing north throughout the US since that date. They have spread quite far north, west and east, having arrived in both California and, most recently, in Florida. Florida officials worry that the public may unknowingly be at risk from Africanized bees by attempting to remove or control their populations themselves. If you suspect that you have a bee problem and need a bee exterminator in Miami you need to call The Original Willie the Bee Man right now at 305-933-2337 Why Are African Bees Dangerous? Africanized bees are considered extremely dangerous for several reasons. First and foremost, they are extremely aggressive. Although these "killer bees" are not any more dangerous than an average bee in terms of venom, they tend to sting a much larger number of times, which can be dangerous to humans if the bees are provoked to anger. Africanized bees can quickly invade and destroy a typical European beehive's (the typical type of bee found in the U.S.) queen and effectively take over the hive. After this, the bees will be very dangerous to anyone that comes close, as they are very defensive of their territory and queen. Secondly, the bees are not easily able to be noticed by someone who isn't an expert in honey bees. Africanized honeybees look nearly identical to their European counterparts, and only a very complex test involving sending over a dozen of the actual bees to a laboratory will be able to determine which type of bee they are. The Original Willie the Bee Man has extensive experience and all of the right equipment to permanently remove all types of bees, hornets and wasps. How do I Get Rid of Africanized Bees?
