Honey bee nests are easy to spot because they have the distinctive “honeycomb” structure in either white or yellow color. They won't build nests hanging from tree branches, like other types of bees, because the nest and honey would be unprotected. Instead, look inside of hollow trees or manmade structures.
How do I know what kind of hive I have?
Honeybee Hive – Hexagon-shaped clusters of honeycombs. Yellow Jacket Hive – Build nests underground, hanging, and inside walls. Paper Wasp Hive – Visible, open structure found along tree branches, porch ceilings, gutters, or inside attics. Carpenter Bee Nest – Bore holes into the home's wood to nest, causing damage.
What is the difference between a beehive and a bee nest?
Nest is used to discuss colonies that house themselves in natural or artificial cavities or are hanging and exposed. Hive is used to describe an artificial/man-made structure to house a honey bee nest.
