The County of Orange Operations & Maintenance controls bee populations on County owned property. No control measures are taken by the County's O&M crews on privately owned properties. 
The County of Orange vegetation maintenance program includes pesticide applications to manage, reduce, and control the growth of vegetation. The County uses an Integrated Pest Management Program and Best Management Practices (BMP) that consider all alternatives and methods available before proceeding with pesticide applications. When vegetation control is deemed necessary, the County will determine whether the work should be accomplished by hand crews, heavy equipment, pesticide applications, or a combination of available resources. Each site will be inspected to determine need prior to any pesticide applications. The County will use the least intrusive methods and products available when pesticide applications are determined to be needed.
