Unfortunately, this time of year is also when <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/stinging-insects\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bees<\/a> are active. While honeybees can be beneficial for plants and flowers, you don\u2019t want yourself or your family members getting stung. Use these tips to prevent bee stings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wear Darker Colors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Light colors attract bees, so it\u2019s better to wear clothes with darker colors when you go out during summer. You should also avoid wearing clothes with floral patterns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Skip the Scents<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Perfumes, soaps, lotions and other scented products typically attract a curious bee or two. Avoid wearing products that give off a scent, especially if it\u2019s a sweet or floral one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep Drinks Covered<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re drinking soda, juice or another sweet beverage, make sure it\u2019s covered when you\u2019re outside. A bee can fly into cans or other containers, and you might not notice that it&#8217;s in there when you take a sip.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clean Up Trash<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Keep your yard free of trash, especially bits of food that might encourage <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2016\/07\/18\/what-bit-you-a-bee-or-a-wasp-how-to-tell\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bees<\/a> to hang around on your property. Trash should be secured in a garbage can that\u2019s closed, so these pests can\u2019t get inside.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a bee problem in your yard, please contact <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Allison Pest Control<\/a>.
