Getting rid of bees How to get rid of bee's? (and avoid harsh poisons). The hive was under the house. Bee's were entering through a small vent between bricks just above the ground level. I blocked up all other vents with plastic inserts sold for this purpose in a hardware store.
The main vent was now my target.
I got an ordinary plastic fluid funnel and cut off the spout about one inch in from the end - to make the hole slightly larger so that a bee could get through. '''Just one bee at a time.'''
The funnel was then (this was at night when the bees were sleeping) fixed over the hole in the bricks and held in place with a complete packet of '''blu tak''' poster putty, placed around the rim of the funnel.
So now the bee's had a smaller and single entry to their nest.
In the afternoon's a '''traffic jam''' of bee's would build up. I'd spray them with fly spray and make a fast getaway.
Unfortunate I know. (I'd called various bee keepers but none could or would help). Later I made a transparent flap -held in place with bluu tak, to make a sort of one-way exit and difficult entry point.
It took a week of effort but eventually worked. When I removed the funnel it was choked-up with dead bee's inside.
Also at night I squirted fly spray and cochroach spray into the slot on several nights. What additional effect this had was hard to know.
I considered using a '''bug zapper''' as described above but these are a bit difficult to find. Anyway the above worked.

Bees work hard to keep the comb and honey cool. If you kill the bees, the combs will melt leaving you with honey running down your walls. First thing to do is find a local bee keeper. He/She may have to cut into the wall to get access to the bees. It is a messy job, and can cost some money, so be prepared. Here are a few ways to find a local bee keeper.
Alot of bee keepers will leave their name with the local police, fire department, and exterminators.Most states have bee keeping clubs. You should be able to locate a nearby club online .Leave a posting on beesource.com click on the exchange button. It is a very friendly group of people.If you by chance are in the Minneapolis area, I would be happy to do it for you. you can leave me a message at bee source. My name on that site is Joshua2639
It is important to attempt to pin point the exact location in the wall,use a tincan or open ended container and listen in various spots like a stethescope. After locating the suspected location,carefully make a hole no bigger than the nozzle on a can of wasp stopper or bee spray. Apply a dose of spray,remove the nozzle and temporarily seal the hole with putty or even a paper napkin. Listen to the area again for different signs,louder buzzing could indicate the spray may have only affected part of the hive,a quieter area may indicate you have dealt them a blow. After some time passes,reopen the hole and see if there is any activity ,if things appear quieter reapply another dose of spray.(USE PROPER VENTILATION WHERE REQUIRED) A small section of wall material should be removed,3"X 3",use caution and have some material handy to block it up quick,if necessary.Attempt to locate the hive if possible,spray again, if possible leave the room and go out and attempt to observe any fleeing bees.This will indicate where they are entering the interior.Make every effort to remove the complete hive as dead bees and larvae can create an offensive odor. Make repairs to the plaster,sheetrock or other wall material .
They sell fake wasps looking nexts made out of a canvos meterial, YOu put these in the corners of the out side of your house the bees stay away because they think a wasp nest is already there,
In Your Home-
If the bee is in a place where you can close the doors, do so. Open windows inside that room so it will fly out. If it does not, try to get it with a rolled up newspaper and make sure you do not have on exposed skin it can sting.
In General-
Bees are general in the spring and summer months. The best you can do is try not to put on harmful chemicals and pesticides around- it is bad for the plants and other animals. Some plants attract bees- so be aware when buying those types.
Around You-
The best advice for when a bee is around you is to stay calm and still. Having on bright colors can attract bees, since they think it is a flower. Try to slowly go away from the bee.
Good Luck!
Use a fly repellent that deters bees. Are you sure its bees and not(warble) bot fly"s they look the same but lay yellowish eggs on the hair. The horse licks these off and the eggs hatch in the intestines and burrow out and migrate to the eyes skin and other sites, these then burrow out of the horses body sometimes causing seriouse injury. If you notice eggs on the horse you should remove them with a safety razor or bot knife you can buy egg remover spray. Ensure you worm against bots just incase your horse has swollowed some eggs. You can use fly repell but it doesnt always work.
You can buy some cans of bee killer, but some leave bad stain the shingles.
1.get a water hose and spray them bees hate water 2.run!
Either pump use a shotgun (BB) on their nest, or hose 'em down... with a hose.
You may need to get some pest control people in to do it. It is not a job to do yourself.
Its best to get someone to come out and deal with it...they will probably spray it with smoke to subdue the bees, then freeze the hive with liquid nitrogen.
Yes, bees do defecate. They eat, so they have to get rid of waste. The don't urinate, though. Their nitrogenous waste is passed into the rectum and mixed with the faeces. They won't defecate in the hive: they always do it in flight away from the hive. Even when confined to the hive for weeks at a time in winter they will 'cork it' until they can get out.
Use a spray bee killer for the particular type of bees in the mulch bed. Be careful walking around the mulch as the bees may be inside the mulch as well.
no coke will not get rid of bees it will only attract them
You need to be sure of what it is before you decide upon removal tactics. Is it a bee hive that is actually in the ceiling or wall, or is it a wasp or hornet nest that is visible and stuck to the ceiling or wall? If it is a bee hive there will be honeycomb involved and that will all need to be removed from the ceiling. Call a professional to smoke out the bees, open up the ceiling, remove the hive, and then seal the hole. If it is just the papery nest of a wasp or a hornet or the mud nest of a mud dauber, those are easy, get some wasp and hornet freeze. soak the nest and let it soak about 24 hours, then knock the nest down. Make sure before you knock it down you don't notice any activity.
To get rid of bees inside cinder blocks inside a garage it is best to use pesticide. Use a spray which kills the bees as well as the nest, or block the area off.
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.
i heard a thing about vinegar in a bowl that my help Answer for bee hive You need to locate the bee hive and destroy it at night when the bees will all be in the hive. I would call a professional if it is a large hive.
You light a fire, and put a person on the torches below the bees hive, then they will smoke it out, and you will be able to harvest the honey :D

They excrete it from the rear end of the abdomen. Honey bees do not defecate in the hive if they can possibly avoid doing so, they will take 'clearing' flights in the general area of the hive.

Bees are terrified of fire, beekeepers puff smoke in to the hive to make the bees go to the bottom when removing the honey. I wouldn't recommend taking up smoking just to keep a bumble bee away though
Get inside a bee suit and carry the hive far far away.
you put your person on the torches next to the hive and light them on fire and your person will automatically move to the hive to calm the bees down then a person will try to extract the honey they may not get it on the first try because it is new to them
It is advised that only a trained and capable apiarist handle the removal of a bees' hive. This is very dangerous and if not done with the proper care, knowledge and equipment, it could lead to severe physical injury or death.
They are no harder to get rid of, but more care needs to be taken because they are more protective of their hive than are European honey bees so are more ready to sting. Unless you are experienced at the task I would recommend you get professional help.
