Local Context

Why Dover Homes Need Bee Control

Bees are particularly problematic in Dover due to the city's 70% humidity and 36-foot elevation, which create ideal conditions for nesting in eaves, attics, and trees. The suburban density of Dover, with its mix of older homes and new developments, offers countless sheltered spots for colonies to establish, and the proximity to Dover International Speedway's open fields only amplifies bee activity during warmer months.

โœ“One thing many Dover homeowners don't realize is that bees here often build nests inside the hollow spaces of older brick homes near downtown, especially around chimneys and vents, because the constant humidity from the St. Jones River keeps these areas cool and attractive for swarming.

Prevention

Dover Bee Prevention Tips

Seal all cracks and gaps around your Dover home's foundation and roofline before spring, as the humid subtropical climate encourages bees to seek dry shelter indoors. Remove any standing water from birdbaths or clogged gutters in your Dover yard, since the 70% humidity already provides ample moisture for bee colonies to thrive. Trim back overhanging branches and shrubs near your Dover property's exterior walls to eliminate natural bridges that bees use to access nesting sites during the hot summer months.
