Outdoor Barbecue Grills

A popular outdoor location bees tend to build their hives, particularly here in Arizona would be your barbecue grill. Bees will usually find a way inside your grill and build their hive underneath the cover/lid of an outdoor grill.

You might be surprised to learn that bees can and do build hives in outdoor trash and/or recycling bins.
