I have bees that hover around the back porch and door. They are always there. How can I make them go away?

Answer 1

me too!!! ughhhhhh its been so nice and i just want to sit on my balcony, but this DAMN bee wont go away!! and im scared of them. plus its HUGE. so...now i dont get to use my balcony! stupid bee!

Answer 2

Wait till early morning or late evening when the bees have gone to the hive, then spray around the area they're hovering. I use basic Raid. Do this a few times (don't pick a time just before it rains, or it will "bee" for nothing). They'll all be gone very shortly.

Answer 3

If it looks like a big, clumsy bumble bee -- it might be a carpenter. They are large and intimidating -- but really totally harmless. The only ones I know that you can actually swat away with your hand and they will not sting, just bumble back like a silly puppy dog!

The problem may be your eaves or deck:
"Carpenter bees are large, black and yellow bees frequently seen in spring hovering around the eaves of a house or the underside of a deck or porch rail. They are most often mistaken for bumble bees, but differ in that they have a black shiny tail section.The carpenter bee is so-called because of its habit of excavating tunnels in wood with its strong jaws. The round half-inch diameter entrance holes are usually found on the underside of a board. A tell-tale trace of coarse sawdust is often found on the surface beneath the hole. Wooden decks, overhangs and other exposed wood on houses are prime targets. Painted and treated woods are less preferred, but they are by no means immune to attack. "

Answer 4

grow some gm corn [it makes the queen sterile] just as feedimng the corn to livestock has made them infertile
but if you dont want them call a bee keeper he will remove the queen [and the rest of the bees follow the queen]
apparently thier hives are all getting empty [tell them about the gm corn from monsanto and the infertile live stock from eatring the gm corn[he will figure it out]

Answer 5

For the most part wife of Dave wasp and bee kill spray can be applied when you find the nest without any risk of getting attacked. I always feared doing it but once I had to. Sort of like a dentist fear thing.

Answer 6

It sounds like maybe you have a hive in the area? either find the hive, cover it with dirt, and then don't go near the back door for a while - or get a bug zapper, or one of those yellow bee catchers.
