The best time for the beekeeper to catch a swarm of bees is when he hive has been settled. Using smoke also helps to calm the bees.
In the early evening of the day that they swarmed.
Most bees are out foraging between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. These are the best times to inspect.

before they start stinging you.
The best time for the beekeeper to catch a swarm of bees is when he hive has been settled. Using smoke also helps to calm the bees.
In the UK, most swarms occur in May and June between 10 am and 2 pm.
One of the better ways of removing a swarm of bees is smoke. Another way is to ask a local beekeeper to help remove the queen if she is accessible. If the queen is removed from a colony, the rest will disperse or follow the queen.
Best to talk to a beekeeper first and he/she will advise you of the best course of action. Bees can sometimes be removed without resorting to a pest controller.
Yes, gas will kill bee's however its very dangerous. The best thing to do is go to Home Depot and buy a can of Bee killer. It's stream is very strong and will give you distance. The best thing to do is call your local beekeepers association or agricultural extension and have a beekeeper remove them. Honey bees are in trouble all over the world. If you're lucky enough to find a swarm, call a beekeeper and stay away from the poisons. Some will remove them for free! If you live in the UK then check out the BBKA website to find a swarm co-ordinator local to you - there is a list with contact details. they will be able to advise and assist you.
If you want to start keeping bees, the best thing you can do is get in touch with a nearby beekeeper or contact your local beekeeping association. There is a lot to learn and other beekeepers will be only to pleased to help you.
A 'hive' is an artificial home for bees provided by a beekeeper. Bees living wild in a tree would normally be described as a colony.

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.
bees normally go disappear when the weather is too cold or they they have no food (flowers) to eat and make honey. so the best thing to do is to get the flowers that bees like best, then this will attract the bees.
Be sure they are bees first! Bees have fat round bodies with golden color to the body and circular dark stripes. If this is the case then call a beekeeper and they will use their smoke cans to stun the bees so they can take them away along with the hive (if at all possible.) Bees are becoming almost extinct in the U.S. and Canada and beekeepers are finding hives full of dead bees. Save the bees! If this so called bee has a longated body, golden in color or sometimes dark and may have a small stripe you are probably looking at a hornet or a wasp and they do sting! They will also swarm a person so it's to your best advantage to get an Environmentally conscious Exterminator in to get rid of them. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS YOURSELF!
Bees seldom sting unless you accidently land on them with a hand or bare feet. Consider yourself lucky you have them. Scientists are extremely worried about bees dying off as are beekeepers. Bees pollinate so let them be and do what they do best ... pollinate. If it bothers you locate a beekeeper and they will be happy to come and get the bees.
