CoronitaParticipant[quote=jpinpb]The coast is clear. Few bees buzzing around. He said they will dissipate in a few days. If not, he will come back free of charge. And I did get a jar of honey. But I think if this happens again they are getting sprayed with water or maybe smoke them away.[/quote]
Actually, all you need a few hornets….30 hornets will take care of 30,000 bees…
I hate hornets.

ParticipantA humane approach is the best when possible.
You should mark off the area so people know to steer clear – especially kids.
If they really are a threat and can’t be humanely removed in due time, spray them at night when they are least active.

ParticipantComing to this thread late – but this is the nugget you need to know.
[quote=captcha]The queen bee won’t stay out in the open exposed to elements. It will move in few hours.[/quote]
We had a hive form in our firewood stack. My husband would go out in the early morning – wearing gloves/long sleeves etc… his face wrapped in a scarf, and remove the wood around the hive. As soon as he’d disturbed the hive enough to wake the bees he’d scurry back into the house. It took 3 mornings of this, but eventually the hive was exposed enough they relocated on their own.
No one was stung in the process. No bees died.
