Sydney is home to a variety of bees, including native and introduced species. Some of the most common bees found in Sydney include:
Bees play an important role in pollinating crops and flowers in Sydney, and many people keep bees in urban gardens and on rooftops. However, it is important to take care around bees, especially if you are allergic to their stings. If you come across a swarm of bees, it is best to contact a professional beekeeper or pest control company to safely remove them.
APPEARANCE
Worker Honey Bees are 13-16mm in length, with yellow abdominal banding and fine hairs all over the body. They have light brown wings with dark veins.
LIFESTYLE
Honey bees live in colonies of approximately 40,000 to 80,000 bees. Inside their hives, they build parallel wax structures to store food and their brood. They sting if the hive is threatened. Honey bees nest in cavities such as tree hollows or house walls.
HABITS
Swarming can occur once or twice a year, depending on the climate. They tend to be docile unless threatened.
APPEARANCE
Asian honey bees are 10-13mm, which is smaller and less hairy than European honey bees. They also have brighter yellow banding on their abdomen. Their clear wings have dark brown veins.
LIFESTYLE
Asian honey bees build hives with about 20,000 bees. They fly faster and more erratic than European honey bees and can sting when threatened. They were first spotted in Cairns in 2007 and are now established in far north Queensland.
HABITS
Asian Honey Bees cannot be used for honey production as they leave the hive and swarm frequently. They can spead mites and diseases.
APPEARANCE
The bumblebee ranges in size from 11–22 mm and is covered with dense hair. Their abdomen is black with one yellow band across the thorax and another across the abdomen. They have a white patch at the end of the abdomen.
LIFESTYLE
Bumblebees were introduced illegally to Tasmania in 1992 and are now established there. This social bee lives in small colonies of only 50 to 60 bees.
HABITS
Bumble bees like colder climates and nest in the ground, such as compost heaps.
It's important to note that bees are important pollinators and should not be harmed unless they pose a threat to human health and safety. A professional beekeeper can help you determine the best course of action for removing bees without causing harm to the bees themselves or to the environment.

Bees thrive in both natural or man made environments. They prefer to live in gardens or parks where flowering plants are abundant. Bees build nests in nature inside tree cavities and under the edges of objects to hide from predators. But they can also build hives in the comfort of wall cavities, chimneys or under the eaves of homes.
Bees are most active during the day in summer, sleeping in groups during the night. If the hive gets too crowded, they can swarm. This is when the bees leave the hive and look for somewhere else to live. They aren’t dangerous, but are more visible.
Bees sting if they feel threatened or the hive is in danger. Other than the pain, a sting can be dangerous for people allergic to bee stings, or if a person is stung by many bees at once. However, the sting is more dangerous for the bee, as it kills them. More people are hospitalised in Australia from bee stings than any other animal.
Beehives need to be removed by a professional. Bees stings can be deadly and will sting if threatened. Also, bees need to be moved safely without being harmed. A bee nest can cause damage to your property if left to grow. They can block gutters, disrupt air conditioning units and attract other pests in the walls of your home
