First find out what type of bees they are (and especially that they are not wasps).
There are many types of bees that nest in relatively small numbers and will do no harm or damage sharing the wall of your house. You will need to find a beekeeper whose interest in bees extends beyond just honey bees but there are quite a few of us about. If you live in the UK then check out the BBKA website - there will be a list of 'swarm co-ordinators' sorted geographically along with their contact details.
I have dealt with several cases of mason bees and other solitary bees that people have been quite happy to leave in situ once they know what is involved. Last year I had a nest of bumblebees living under our house, coming and going via an air brick. They did no harm and generally bumblebee nests only last for one season.
What else can I help you with?
How do you know if there is a wasp nest in your roof?
Put your ear against the wall, and listen for buzzing. If there are bees in the wall you can make a very small hole in the wall (nail size) and spray a fogger in that will kill the bees.
Where are Honey bee located?
There are honey bees on every continent except Antarctica. They are in every country where there are nectar-bearing flowers for long enough during the summer for the bees to make enough honey to last them through the winter.
Why are bees are harmful to people?
Some people are allergic to the sting of bees. They can be a nuisance if they nest in traffic signals, in the wall of your house, or in public places. Although they are sometime a nuisance, we could not get along without the bees help as a pollinator. Eat an apple, thank a bee.
Would the bees die inside sealed wall?
New AnswerBees are very strong for their size. If they are trapped inside a sealed wall, they will have no problem chewing through the wood and plaster to make a new exit. Bees seal up their own hives during harsh, cold winter months, and simply shred a new hole when the warmer seasons arrive.Bees also have a huge reserve of honey and always produce more than they need. So, even if there is definitely no way out, it could be months before they run out of food and die. Imagine all those months dealing with buzzing behind your walls.Also bear in mind that some bee species are protected by law. Harming a habitat of protected species carry hefty fines into the 20,000-plus area. Or imprisonment.You'll be safer contacting a local bee association to move the bees to a protected reserve.Previous AnswerYes - if they have no exit to get out to a food supply.
How do you get rid of bees that have a hive inside a wall?
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.Here are more tips from FAQ Farmers:If you know where the nest is and there are hundreds of bees, you can try something that worked for us. We put a bug zapper right in front of the "main entrance" of their nest while they were sleeping at night. We then turned it on during the day. As they flew in and out they died by the hundreds. After a few days I think they either moved to a safer location or we had killed them all.We had them in our ceiling and the noise they were making drove us crazy. My husband tapped on the ceiling with his knuckle and in one spot it put a hole in the ceiling. We saw the bees and put tape over it. I then got brave and put rubbing alcohol in a glass and slid the cup over the hole the started swarming down the cup and died. Got about 50. Then my husband sprayed the nest in the hole with Raid wasp &hornet killer. Next step is to get the nest out and hope there isn't more bees when we remove tape again.Been advised to put out a plate with sliced apples covered with honey. Theory: Bees will stick to honey - immobilized. Practice:did NOT work although the bees seem to have enjoyed their little buffet.Suggestion #2Bees hate mint. Spray their 'doorways' with Dr. Banner's mint soap (liquid) Don't know - haven't tried it yet. Hope it works as i do not want to kill, just relocate themUse a wet dri vac,Put at entrance turn it on and sucks them up fast and to make sure they are dead spray some bee killer in the hose to while its running.Kills them fast and easy to dispose of to.Please call a local bee keeper. Honeybees are essential for a lot of farm pollination. Because of the importation of the Varroa mite most feral bee hives are gone (in the wild). Spraying the bees with raid or another pesticide is just plain dumb. What IF you do kill them with spray? Now you have a wall full of decoposing bees and wax and honey the is soaked in poison.Some bee keepers (like me) will remove the bee for around $200. Call the Ag. extension office for a referal to a local bee keeper. They carry a list of local guys and girls willing to do the job.I am in a catch 22 situation. I have honey bees nesting in the wall of my house. No local bee keepers will tackle the problem. The pest control people tell me they'll deal with the bees, but I have to cut the hole into the house myself. I have no experience of dealing with angry bees, no protective clothing etc.. What do I do next?Do Not Just Kill or Remove ThemFirst, do not poison honey bees. If you do you will have a hard time finding help. The bees can not simply be killed or removed. You need to remove all of the comb. 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

Without removing the queen bee it will be a slow process, 1st you could block the hole at night fall or when the bees become less active. 2nd you could spray a wasp or hornet killer on or around the hole, honey bees do not fly at night, start with 2 cans of hornet spray,I do not like to kill honey bees they are our friends,try to make sure there is only one way into the wall check the attic for holes. 3nd you could cut the wall out to gain access the hive, however that could create another problem, once the hive is exposed that's why it would be nice too have a beekeepers knowledge with you when you cut the wall out to remove the hive you should have a bees smoker to slow the bees down so the bee keeper can remove the hive.

How does a beekeeper make the bees go inside the hive?
They normally start by locating a dark enclosed, dry space (in a tree trunk, roof or wall cavity - or indeed a man made hive). The colony of bees including the queen move into this and the worker bees use honey that they have stored in their tummies as they left their original hive to make wax (bees wax). they chew up this wax and shape it into a new comb with hexagonal cells. The queen lays new eggs in this and the new colony starts. With more bees, more time, and more comb is produced to store honey and brood young and the new hive becomes established. A resinous substance collected from the buds of certain trees (called Propolis) is used by the bees as a cement or sealant to plug up any gaps in the the walls of the hive so that predators can not get in and the hive entrance is guarded by young workers.
Do any bees live in a frozen hive?
Honey bees do not hibernate. In cold weather they will cluster together in the hive and vibrate their wing muscles in order to generate heat. The temperature in the centre of the cluster will be in the order of 35 to 40 degrees Celsius, and bees on the outside of the cluster will move in as they cool off. Provided there are enough bees to maintain the required temperature and there is not too much heat loss through the hive wall, the outside of the hive can be completely frozen and the bees will be unaffected.
Where are Honey bee located?
There are honey bees on every continent except Antarctica. They are in every country where there are nectar-bearing flowers for long enough during the summer for the bees to make enough honey to last them through the winter.
