Bee Hive in the house.?
Hi, I can help you I am a professional beekeeper and have removed many bee colonies from houses. First question is for you only: Can YOU live with the bees? They are very unlikely to harm you if you let them live there in peace. It is also unlikely they will damage your building. It is a very bad idea to try to kill or evict the bees. Then they will get defensive and you will get hurt. If an exterminator kills the bees, mice and other insects will move in to live off the remaining honey and you will have bigger problems. Removing colonies is a very expensive and difficult process. It always involves dismantling part of your house (roofing, sideing, wall panels, brickwork). As far as OMEN is concerned, you should know that having a bee colony on your property is GOOD. They only choose safe and environmentally friendly locations. They are a benefit to your yard, garden, trees and the neighborhood in general. Forget about the honey, it is cheaper to buy than to remove. Appreciate their support of nature and learn to coexist with living things. www.straightfromthehive.com
How can I get rid of a beehive in my sons room?
Do not call 911 for a wasp nest unless you want trouble with the law too. Go to the store buy a can of wasp and hornet killer go home stand back and spray the hive the wasps will drop and die, the chemical does not stain once it dries, and then knock the nest down and throw it out. Also put something over the hole in the freaking window, why has it been broke long enough to allow this to happen? Its not a bee hive there are hundreds if not thousands of bees in a hive and they are about the same size as a large fly, if the bugs are black or yellow striped and slender they are wasps, and only wasps build paper or mud nests. If you are not comfortable taking care of it call an exterminator to remove the nest NOT 911!

Do bee hives need shade?
You will note that white is the usual color of the beehives. This reflects a lot of the sun's rays and lowers the temperature of the hive in the summer. If you live in a temperature climate this is a disadvantage n the freezing weather. Remember that the killer bees do just fine in Africa without any protection like white boxes. The bees can cool the hives as long as they have access to water to help them. Water is a primary need for several reasons. Even in the coldest winters of -60F the bees can keep the internal part of the hive at +93F. Even the Africanized "Killer Bees can survive the extreme cold once they've survived their first winter. Usually they get frozen. However some have survived. If the bees can't ventilate the hive to cool it , they will die. With water to evaporate they will do just fine. When beekeepers move their hive's , there is an old saying. "Move the hive less than 6ft or more than 6 miles." If you move a hive more than 6 feet they bees returning from a hunt have a hard time finding the hive on their return. They will drift into the next closest hive and usually run into trouble..less than the 6feet and they will have no such problem. Bees often travel up to 6 miles in search of nectar etc. If you move the hive less than the 6 miles they often return to the original hive area because they will see familiar landmarks etc and don't have enough energy to make it back to the new location. Under some conditions bees have been found flying more than 6 miles in search of resources. The will need to absorb some of the cache or all they have collected to make it back to the hive. This counterproductive. Your bees and the neighbors will frequent the same areas. They may even visit each others hives. If they are laden with nectar etc, the receiving hive will usually allow them to enter and deposit the fruits of their labor without incidence. The drones are usually allowed to enter other hives without any problems because they aren't perceived as a threat. As you can see neither problem that you state is really very easy to rectify or isn't really a problem.
How do I get rid of a nest of bees living in my mailbox?
If your mailbox is metal, try this out. Cover yourself in clothing from head to toe, making sure you duct tape the seams around your belt, wrists and ankles so that bees cannot get in. Use a motorcycle helmet with full face protection if you have access to one as well. Then, at night, very gently open the mailbox and using a can of hairspray/WD-40 etc and a lighter make a small flamethrower and cook the suckers. Only fire it in short bursts (about 1 second) for safety reasons. This instant hot flame will not damage your mailbox but it will burn off the wings of the bees within seconds, rendering them harmless. Then all you have to do is flush them out with some water and seal up the mailbox. This way your mail won't have potentially harmful chemicals on it for the next few months and you won't have to buy a new one. I have had to do this in a rabbit hutch before that got infested with hornets that nearly killed one of my rabbits. I pulled the rabbit out (fed it a little benedril (sp?) to reduce swelling) and then torched the bees. The rabbit hutch was wooden but suffered little damage in the flame attack. Have fun and be safe!
Can a Molotov cocktail get rid of a beehive?
Whether it's inhumane or not to burn bugs alive is not what I'm asking. My question is can a Molotov Cocktail actually get rid of a beehive, with barely any survivors? I'm only curious because I remember throwing them at beehives all the time in Far Cry 4 but what would happen if you really did that?
