Field Identification Kit

A 10× loupe and a waterproof chart, because most of this problem is misidentification.

The single most common mistake in this niche is killing something harmless, or treating a honeybee colony as a pest. This kit is a 10× glass loupe and a credit-card-sized waterproof chart covering the eight species you are realistically going to meet in a North American garden, with the one or two features that actually separate them.

Using it properly

  • Identify before you buy a trap, not after
  • Photograph rather than approach where you can
  • If in doubt, send us a photo — we answer these
Before you use any of this on a nest: read when to call a professional. Protective equipment reduces risk. It does not remove it, and it is no help at all to someone with a sting allergy.
