Wasps vs. bees in Henderson: why identification matters.
The treatment approach for wasps differs fundamentally from bee removal. Wasp nests do not contain honey or wax comb — they are made of paper-like material and can be treated and removed without structural opening in most cases. Bee hives, by contrast, require full comb extraction or honey will ferment inside your Henderson wall and attract new swarms. Treating a bee colony with wasp spray is a common mistake that agitates the bees without removing them.
In Henderson, paper wasps are the most frequently seen wasp species. They build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, in patio covers, inside BBQ grills, and in any sheltered overhang around the home. They are defensive near the nest but generally not aggressive away from it. Paper wasp nests are annual — they do not reuse old nests the following year, though wasps may build a new nest in the same location.
