How many bees are alive today?

There are not a lot of bees but you have nothing to worry about because bees are not the only things that collect poluny birds do the same theytake these small yellow dust called poluny and take it from one flower to the next and that's what bees do and I also think wopes do the same. I think people should stop killing bees,also if you love honey as much as I do say the next time you want too kill a bee think of 2 things.One,if you like honey,two pretend your the bee and the bee is you I bet you would not want know body kill you. Know would you?


Do bees want to sting people?

They want to protect themselves. As long as you don't aggravate them or move around a lot while around them, you should be fine. Wasps are more irritable than bees.


Where do I find data about vulture bees?

The Vulture bees are a small group of three that are closely related to the American stingless bee. These three species of Vulture bees are the only know bees not to relay on plant products as their food source. Instead, these bees feed on rotting meat, hence the name "vulture" bees. This unusual bee behaviour was not discovered until 1982, which is nearly two centuries after these bees were first classified. The three species are: Trigona Crassipes (1793) Trigona Hypogea (1902) Trigona Nercrophaga (1991) The Vulture bees are attracted to rotting carcasses, and decaying flesh, as opposed to colourful flowers and sweet nectar. Like most adult bees, the vulture bees collects food to that back the nest, but rather than visit flowers like most bee species, Vulture bees gather meat. They are necrophages, (a word that means an organism that eats dead animal carcasses), and use the meat for the protein that these bees need to survive. Vulture bees, much like maggots, usually enter the carcass through the eyes. They will then root around inside gathering the meat suitable for their needs. The vulture bees salivates on the rotting flesh and then sucks it up storing it special stomach compartment until it has flow back to the nest. When it returns home, this meat is transferred to another Vulture bee. This bee's job is to mix the animal flesh with a digestive fluid to break it down into an edible substance. This substance is then placed into pot-like containers within the nest until it is time to feed the immature bees.


How can you kill honey bees?

Please don't. If you have honey bees near you and you want to get rid of them, contact a beekeeper or beekeeping association, and someone will come and remove them. 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.


How do you find the hive of bees that fly in and out of an opening in the floor of a shed and when is the best time of day to remove the hive and control the bees?

Why would you want to get rid of bees in your yard ? I ask this because bees are a beneficial partner in the whole gardening process. They are pollinators, and without their assistance many plants can't set seed. We have had a bumblebee nest in the wall of our garage for 8 years, and we enjoy their presence in the yard. We have never been stung, because bees in general will not sting you unless they are being threatened. If you have wasps or hornets in your yard, consider carefully your options. Unless you are allergic to wasp venom, consider leaving them alone. They are also very good pollinators, and have their place in the scheme of things. I had a similar problem only with Hornets (some call them Yellow Jackets). They built a nest between the siding and insulation on the garage. Since I am not the adventurous type, I called a local pest control company. Their solution was to power spray the entire house and then remove the nesr and seal up all openings they could find. They told me that late evening was the quietest time and the least likelest for them to "attack". They also mentioned, that you should never, ever close up the entrance when there were live insects inside. Its called "jugging the bees". Take a glass gallon jug and fill it about 3-4 inches full of warm to hot water. To this add a cup of sugar or some maple syrup . Shake around until the sugar dissolves somewhat and place the jug 4-5 feet from the bees hole in the ground. They will find it rather quickly and will drown in the solution. When all the worker bees are dead, the nest wont survive. If its a large nest, you may have to repeat the process. This is how people in the late 1800's and early 1900's handled bee problems. The early am is the best time to take care of this. The stingers are still ahlf asleep, and the cool am temps make it easier to treat the nest. From the way you are describing their activity, you probably have yellow jackets. They are notorious for building their nests made out of "paper" in the ground. I would put a bee suit on before any disturbance is made to their nest. You have to get to the source and then eliminate it. I doubt if it is honeybees, but if it is honeybees, call the local extension service where you reside and get the # of a bee keeer. They dont charge to remove a honeybee hive, and why would you want to kill a honeybee hive with that colony colapse disorder going on. If it is yellow jackets, I would use a pyrethrin dust, and have a few cans of wasp spray available, as that stuff is used only to allow you to get close enough to the nest and then use the pyrethrin dust to kick the snot outta them. .

How do you get rid of ground bees in an above ground planter?

If you don't want to kill the bees, just persuade them to go elsewhere, there are products that beekeepers use to clear bees from the honey frames before taking them. They are harmless to the bee (and humans) but the bees find them unpleasant and/or irritating. I don't want to advertise any particular product so I suggest you do an internet search for 'bee clearing'.

How do you get rid of a bee hive underneath a chicken coop if the bees are dead?

== == == == * Be sure the bees are dead! If so, then have a plastic bag ready and pull it out as best you can with a rake and put it in the plastic bag and put a twist tie on it. Do this in the evening just at dusk because live bees will be more dormant at this time. Also you could have a "smoker" handy just in case there are still a few live bees hanging around. I have been reading where bees are dying off at far too rapid a rate and scientists want to know why. It's not a good sign because bees help to pollinate flowers and bushes. Many people can confuse bumble bees with wasps or hornets and want to kill them off, but unless you actually stand on a bumble bee or lay your hand flat on them or try to destroy their hive they won't sting. I've had them on my arms and legs and just brushed them off. It appears our eco-system is up to something. Beekeepers are worried about the lack of bees and finding more dead bees in their hives than live ones. * Another method is petrol which will kill any live bees and stop the nest being used again.
