Bees in Southern Arizona

Bees in Arizona are essential pollinators of native plants, and honeybees are responsible for approximately 80% of all pollination in the state. The Sonoran Desert is home to over 800 species of bees, many of which are critical to the ecosystem.

Bees play a vital role in our environment and are essential to the food chain. Native bees pollinate plants, which provide food for other animals. Honeybees also produce honey, which is a valuable food source for humans.

Bees can also quickly become a problem in your home, workplace, or area. Horn Pest Management works to eliminate the problem while being mindful of the vital role bees play. Horn Pest Management has two removals: Africanized Bees and Honeycomb removal.

It is now fact that all beehives are to be considered Africanized, and the older, more established a hive becomes, the more aggressive the hive is.
