i have a swarm of angry bees about 6 feet from my door any clues how to get rid of hem?

Answer 1

I had the same problem and I looked up Beekeepers online and called one and they came over and got the bees for free. They added them to their hive. Good luck.

Answer 2

I had 2 hives I swear the size of a 13" tire. Get a bee and hornet spray that shoots 20-25 feet BUT wait til it's almost dark outside, They will all be in there. Spray until saturated and knock down again at dusk or dark. I did it and had no problems.

Answer 3

Kelly is correct. If it is a honey bee colony you just need to call a beekeeper and they will remove the hive.

A feral colony is valuable today because it may have resistance to the diseases that are destroying honey bee colonies in the U.S.

However, it the colony is only a hornet hive, and not a honey bee hive, you would be best advised to pay someone professionally remove the hive from your house before the infestation gets worse, or someone is severely stung, and to repair the house where they are entering it.

Answer 4

Not "angry", just noisy and looking for a home. Local council, Police, will have Bee-keepers info. You are quite safe with swarmed bees (UK), the last thing they seek is trouble, They are gorged on honey prior to swarming,and myself and kids have sat in the centre of swarms seeking homes, safer than the streets!

Answer 5

My father is a bee keeper and the way he gets bees out of the hive to collect honey is by smoking them out. Maybe set a bag of microwave popcorn on fire and run like hell to the door and let the smoke clear the bees out. Good luck to you

Answer 6

well everytime there was a beehive around the house (wasp nest or whatever) my good old dad and a pal would throw on a hoodie, safety glasses and gloves. one would climb the ladder the other would hold a trash can with one hand and the lid to it in the other and when the hive was knocked into the trash can the lid would go on tight and whoever had the can would run like a bastard into the field by the water and throw the can into the water and run like hell back. needless to say the bees were gone and occasionally i got some funny video camera footage.

Answer 7

The simple answer is to blast the swarm with a fire extinguisher. The CO2 comes out extremely cold and freezes them midflight. Works like a charm. Those that wake up will realize it's not a good place to hang out and will quickly fly away home. If it's a hornet's nest, sweep them up and put them in a sealed garbage bag and toss them away. If they're honey bees, sweep them up and take them out to the woods, tear open the bag and shake them out. They come out of their hibernation in about 24 hours.

Answer 8

You'll have to call a bee keeper. If you can't find one in your local yellow pages call your city goverment office. They can help you get the info you need. If you don't get the queen they'll just keep coming back.

Answer 9

there are wasp and bee sprays that shoot up to 20 fet so you dont have to be that close. just wait till evening when they are all in the hive then spray the hell out of it. whatever bees you have left in the morning will die within a day or so.oh yea the soapy water thing really works to as the soap suffocates them ! just harder to get closer to shoot them with a spray bottle.

Answer 10

My buddy had a problem with a bee hive forming in a tree in his backyard. He went to the local home improvement store (Home Depot, OSH, etc.) and bought this stuff in an aerosol spray can. You spray it on the hive (from a distance) and run like hell. The bees peace out basically.

Good luck!
