How can I get rid of honeybees nesting in my ceiling (entrance is outside on deck)?

Answer 1

You can spray them.
1. Make sure you spray at night so they don't get mad and sting you. (Bees don't see well at night)
2. Make sure it is a spray meant for honey bees or it may not work.

Answer 2

Honey Bees?
I would try to set up an artificial hive close to where they are now. May be the like to settle in the hive, when everything is prepared for them. Once they are in there, you can place the hive further away fromt he house.

Best is to ask a bee keeper, who has experience with bees and what they like. May be he can relocate them to a different place.

Even the Africanized bees would not attack, but give a warning by bumping into the person getting too close to their hive. If the person retreats the same way s/he came, the bees retreat, too, and do not sting. Obviously, they are not out to get us, but want to protect their home. I feel that we humans should honor nature and the right of other beings to share this planet with us.

Hope that you allow the bees to live. We do not have many bees left, after pesticides and herbicides have been invented. We need the bees' help to get fruits and seeds! Thanks.

Years ago my grandfather had the same issue. He took his vacuum outside and stuck the nozzle near the entrance hole. As the bees tried to go in or come out, they were vacuumed up. He left it on for a day or so. Might sound strange, but it might also work. Good Luck.

call in the professionals - I think they usually smoke them out, but I wouldn't try this yourself as this will just anger them.
