Hot tub help with bees?
as a hot tub professional we get this question all the time. If they are in fact bees and not hornets or another form of stingy insect then this would be great. You can have the hive removed by professionals at no cost. This would be the best way to go as it would 100% solve your problem as well as help maintain bee population levels which are falling dramatically. In the event of hornets or other insects then inspect at night, best on a cool evening, to see what you are up against as the hive will be dormant at night. Ultimately you need to kill or remove the hive and seal the access areas up. Buying a "fake" hive and hanging it close by will stop the problem from recurring.
Why are there bees in my garage?
Here in MO we have Carpenter Bees that bore into wood but they are pretty much solitary bees and not in bunches. It's possible that you may have a nest. if you have not been stung yet that means they have gotten used to you but that is NOT to say you WON'T get stung. Bees in spite of their stings are very beneficial and if it were not for them we would all be paying higher food bills. if I were you I would call one of those people who specialize in moving them live and not killing them. It is not reported on the news very much but there is a disease that has been killing many bees off. This fellow is in Arizona. Not that you have killer bees but you might get some ideas here. http://www.killerbeeguy.com/ I could very well be wrong about the nest but I would call someone to check it out anyway.
How do I get rid of red-banded bumble bees out of my garage?
If you don’t want red banded bumblebees in your garage, you need to locate the nest or hive with the queen, workers and drones. Put on a bee suit to avoid getting stung, get a shovel and dig up the nest or hive with bumblebee eggs and make sure the queen is in the box so the rest of the workers would move and go in the box with the queen. For more help, go on Youtube and watch bumblebees removal and it has videos of residences who relocated and removed all bumblebees eggs and nest out of their home or backyard location.
How do I get rid of bees roaming around my garage?
Likely what you're seeing are not bees, but wasps or yellow jackets (unless you keep sweet stuff in the garage).If a wasp, likely it's looking for a good place for a nest. If you see a nest, remove it. The wasps will eventually leave.

Why are there thousands of dead bees in my garage?
I will refer you to the picture at the following link: http://bp3.blogger.com/_7Ae4dn3s7xw/RkpyWVPSrKI/AAAAAAAAAAU/lKcPLv14ZF0/s1600-h/look+closer.jpg THOUSANDS of bees all dead in my garage. I'm pretty sure there's a hive in my hot water closet (in the garage), but why did all the bees die within a period of a day? I have been told there is a "dead bee" epidemic in the US (I'm in Oklahoma). Should I sweep up the dead bees and take them to some environmenal agency or something?
How to get rid of a bees nest - not reachable?
In regards to the A-frame; were the bees found outside or inside? That can determine alot. My personal experience of living in a wooded area for the past 22 years (everything that this answer is based upon; so be forewarned). On the outside, you have a greater chance of a nest being rebuilt, it may not be the same bees, but an attractive place is an attractive place. On the insides, a commercial killer purchased at Lowe's/Home Depot will do the job as to keeping the bees away. Sugar water will only serve to attract other insects and make you mad at the end of the season. If your looking to experience the benefits of bees, i.e. better flowering gardens, I would recommend hanging out and asking questions at a green house before the end of next season (it's the end of the flowering season where I am). Certain bushes will keep the bees close while keeping them out of your place, although I don't know what any are officially called. Bees are one of the most manageable, positive benefit reaping insects that you can control. It just requires some work, but unless they are killer bees, by talking to someone in your local area (different ecosystems), it should be fairly easy. Now if it's killer bees, run and enjoy the AC. By the way, if your really that worried, a local exterminator can tell you what type of bee it is. Edit 8:04 9/2/08 = I reread your question, if it's not reachable and you can't control it i.e. seeing them alot in your house, call an exterminator. Keep children and pets away unless you know they are not allergic. Bees are like snakes, they are more afraid of you then you are of them, most stings/bites are out of defense. Personal experience, last time I got stung, I was chopping wood and ripped out a nest that was starting to build.

Do bee nests damage my house ? How to remove them and prevent them come back?
There are several bee nests in my house fascia/edges of roof frame. I have tried to remove them that I can reach. However, they come back to built another nest in the same place/site. I wonder because one of them is located in the top roof fascia that I cannot reach and that one might be a main/mother one to produce more bees that do not want to leave their “mother” nests ? (1). My second question is – do those bee nests damage my house ? (3). How can I efficiently remove them and prevent them coming back? thanks
What do you do to help or protect pollinators (i.e.: bees & butterflies) when planting your garden or treating your lawn?
To help pollinators, I:Plant lots of native plants of different species with bloom times that span the growing season.Accept some leaf damage because that’s what the young of moths and butterflies eat.Avoid pesticides.Regarding lawns:I just don’t treat them. I accept a lawn that grows with minimal care, and treat that with respect: cut it no shorter than 3 inches, don’t park cars on it, and don’t add fertilizer or lime unless a soil test shows that it needs it.I minimize lawn areas. I don’t think of them as a default landscape feature. My goal is to only have them where we lie, sit, play, or as a path. The outdoors is not a living room and doesn’t need to have a green carpet. I’m slowly replacing lawn with gardens of wildflowers, tall grasses, shrubs, and trees that actually have ecological value.As humans dominate more and more of the planet, we need to make room for other species where we live. I like to think of my yard as a lifeboat, and take aboard as many species as it will carry.
