Can anyone tell me what kind of tree this is

[tomeka loving]

I have this tree it's so pretty and I want to know what it is so I can control the bees. I don't want to cut it down but the bees are outrageous.

It's a crab apple. Bees should go away as petals fall

Spraying for bees is illegal here.

Bees are normally not aggressive so you should be fine in that respect. With out them we wouldn't have a lot of the fruits and vegetables we take for granted. Thankfully bees aren't capitalist or we would all be in trouble.

I'm a licensed beekeeper in addition to being an arborist. The bees are just there to gather nectar and pollen from the flowers on the tree. In a month when the flowers are gone, the bees will be too. Bees only sting when trying to defend their colony, comb and brood and unless they've colonized your tree, none of those items are present there. They're just grocery sh0pping in your tree, so you don't need to worry about them. It's actually a good opportunity to get under the tree and enjoy the sound of their contented hum as they gather pollen and nectar to take back to their colony.

Unless, of course, they're larger than a Buick. The really big ones just uproot the tree and take it with them.
