When a honey bee stings you, the venom causes localized painful and itchy swelling (and even worse in things in people who are allergic). Ironically however, did you know, one of the compounds in the venom, melittin, helps reduce pain and swelling?

Melittin is an inflammation reducer by suppressing inflammatory chemicals such as cytokines and Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha.

It keeps your body from destroying bone and cartilage.

It also raises your pain threshold by modifying how your nervous system transmits pain signals, allowing higher degrees of to feel more “uncomfortable” instead of painful.

The yellow legged hornet has many striking similarities to the “murder hornet”. They are similar in size and color scheme. They are a southern hornet, residing as far north as South Carolina. Measures are being taken to slow the spread of this invasive species. If seen in Virginia, please report to your local Department of Agriculture.

Just came in! That means Im ready for another year of serving , , , , , , and with their needs. With so many calls for service last year in wooded areas, sheds, basements, roof tops, brush/overgrowth, and attics last year, it wore my old suit down fast. So, I had to invest more Personal Protective Equipment.

I really appreciate that the elbow and knee areas on this one are padded. It makes a world of difference, in durability and comfort, especially on hot surfaces during the summer.

Tidewater, it’s almost that time of year again when bees, wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets will seek to start making your home their home as well. At Hive Hunter's we offer preventative treatments that will keep stinging insects, and other nuisance insects (ants, spiders, cockroaches, beetles and etc) out of and off of your home.

Don’t wait until they become a problem, prevent the problem. Our low cost treatments are long lasting, and are both a repellent, and an exterminating compound, giving you peace of mind all spring/summer long. Reach out to today and ask about our low cost treatments that the competition doesn’t want you to know about! As always, thank you for your continued support of locally owned small businesses!
