Yes, unfortunately it can. HOWEVER, before taking any drastic measures, take a moment to ID your bees. If they are honey bees, do NOT kill them. Instead, consult the phonebook or your local fire or police department to find a local beekeeper. They are usually more than willing to collect the hive for you, as buying a colony of bees from a supplier can cost a couple hundred dollars. Plus, you won't have killed off essential pollinators, so you can sleep easy at night. :)

Just as a side note, did you know that because honey bees are declining at such an alarming rate, food producers in some areas have to pay beekeepers to transport hives to their fields so the crops will be pollinated? This is very expensive, and the cost is passed along to the customer: you. So save yourself some money in the long run, and give the bees to someone who knows how to handle them and make good use of them.

How do you get rid of bee hive?

We don't get rid of bee hives, we call a local bee club. They will come get them for free and maybe give you honey in trade. Bee hives have a great value beyond honey, its called pollination. A bee hive is not a swarm. A hive contains brood, honey, drones, workers and a queen, etc... A swarm is a group of bees and a queen looking for a new home. They are very easy to deal with and are a valuable asset to any beekeeper! So what ever the case, CALL A LOCAL BEEKEEPER! Keep the bees and don't pollute the honey with chemicals.

What is an earth friendly way to get rid of bees?

A beekeeper will try to remove a wild hive (from a tree, or a hole in the ground) by moving the brood (the bee eggs and larvae) and the queen bee into a portable box hive. Foraging bees will return to the box if it is left beside the old hive, and so long as the queen was moved into the new hive. After nightfall, when all the bees have returned, the hive can be sealed up and taken away. Of course, the position of the wild hive will determine the difficulty of the whole operation. I had a swarm set up their home inside the double brick wall of my house. A beekeeper set up a new hive outside with a new queen, and an inverted funnel on my wall. The funnel allowed the bees to come out of the wall, but they were unable to find their way back in, so they went into the new hive and adopted the new queen. Eventually (some weeks), all the bees emerged from my wall and into the new hive. The old queen probably did not survive, as there were no bees returning with nectar to make new honey.


How do you get rid of honey bees on the ousde of your house?

Call a bee keeper. Bees are not usually a pest but are valuable for continued preservation of the Earth's survival. Without them we will eventually starve. A bee keeper will capture the queen of the hive and take them to a more acceptable place to live. Extermination will likely do more damage to you than the bees and removal should only be done by someone who knows what they are doing. Bees are only a danger to any person who has an allergy to bee stings and will help your garden to thrive.
