Bee problem?

Question

So I live in a apartment with my family and we got a bee's nest outside of the window.and my sister is allergic to them and can die or get severely swollen if she gets stung by a lot of them.What can we do?and how long does it take for the bees to complete the bees nest?

How long does the nest take to be made?

Answer 1

Are you talking a wasp nest? Looks like a honey comb? Or does it look like a big ball. Either way they will continue to grow as the young mature and help expand on it.

Several things you can do. If it is a huge nest call an exterminator. Most likely they will do 1 or 2 things. They will spray the nest with a pesticide to kill them or knock the nest down.

As for a wasp, you can just knock it down. Use a long pole or stick and cause the nest to fall to the ground. Once the nest is on the ground the wasps that are returning, look for it where they built it. Even the ones that fell to the ground with the nest will return to the spot where they built the nest. The nest on the ground will be forgotten. They may try to build a new nest in the same spot. If they do, just knock it down. They will eventually move on.

Answer 2

Are they bees or wasps? And can you tell for sure that they are building a nest? Just a few days ago, I had a swarm of honey bees land in a small oak tree in my yard, not far from my front door. They were just hanging in a cluster from a branch in the tree. They stayed about 24 hours and took off again.

If they're honey bees, the swarming is a means for hives to divide and reproduce. There is a queen in the center of the mass of bees, and they will hang there until the scout bees return to let the others know they have found a suitable location to build a hive. Honeybees are not agressive during this stage unless provoked.

Honeybees are fascinating and necessary creatures. Please look into having them removed if they don't go away on their own. Please don't kill them...the earth needs them.

Answer 3

Before you have the bees exterminated, see if there's a local bee society. Often someone in the group produces honey and they will come and remove the bees to add to their own hive. Since bees are a bit scarce these days, it would be sweet if you could resolve the problem this way.

Answer 4

Bees are dying in large numbers and no one knows why. If I were you I would contact animal control and ask if they could get an apiarian (bee keeper) to remove the nest. If we want to eat we need all the bees we can get.

Answer 5

You can call a local exterminator to deal with the bee problem, if this is an issue where he/she has no experience, it is likely that he/she will know someone who can deal with the problem.

The bees never finish the nest. It just keeps growing with the colony.

Answer 6

It's very possible she's not allergic to that particular type of bee. They very rarely sting if left unagitated. She should be carrying an epi-pen to inject herself incase she does get stung.

Attack them early in the morning when it starts to get light (they will still be tucked in). Spray from the ground and be sure to stand far enough away so you don't get showered by the falling spray. Use the entire can and saturate the nest. Good luck.
