Bees are definitely very beneficial insects. They pollinate plants, performing a fairly important function in nature. And the product they produce (honey) is absolutely unique. However, often, if a person is not engaged in breeding bees, these small creatures can cause some discomfort. In this case, you will need to remove the bees from the site. This can be a rather difficult task, because the bees are reluctant to "move" from place to place. However, there are many ways to breed bees. It is worth disassembling each separately and choosing the one suitable for a particular case.

How to get rid of a neighbor's bees with folk remedies

There are situations when a neighbor in a garden plot decides to start breeding bees and selling honey. This is a great initiative, especially considering the fact that neighbors are likely to get a free jar of fresh honey. However, the discomfort from bees that can accidentally fly into someone else's area will not diminish. It is this inconvenience factor that increases the importance of the question of how to get rid of the neighbor's bees. Of course, everyone wants to resolve this issue as peacefully as possible. To do this, you can ask your neighbor:

  • put a solid fence, the height of which will be more than 2 m;
  • change the existing aggressive species of bees to peace-loving ones;
  • move the hive as far as possible, optimally 30-40 m;
  • plant trees with a dense crown from the side of the apiary owner so that the bees cannot fly over impassable foliage;
  • place the hives somewhere higher, for example, in trees. In this case, the likelihood that insects somehow interfere with neighbors is significantly reduced, because then they will be on a line located much higher than human growth.

Bees are definitely very beneficial insects.

Folk remedies will help you to smoke neighbor insects from your site on your own. The most humane, which will also bring many new tastes to the life of home owners - planting such aromatic plants as peppermint, lemon balm, lemon, basil, calendula, orange. Bees do not tolerate such pungent odors, therefore, they will visit an area fragrant with aromas much less often. You can also use dried leaves and twigs of these plants to get rid of bees, for example, a summerhouse or terrace.

Important!Another popular method is homemade bee traps. They act only when the bees have not yet managed to build a nest in their summer cottage.

To create a trap, cut a plastic bottle in half. Pour something sweet into its lower part: sugar syrup, jam, fermented compote or jelly. Insert the upper part of the bottle into the lower part with the neck down so that there are literally a few millimeters left to the filler. Having smelled sweet, the bees will crawl into the neck of the bottle, but they will not be able to get out of the “sweet swamp”.

The most unsafe, but no less effective way is fire. You need to make a fire, but one that would smoke very strongly (for this effect, you can take wet firewood). Insects really do not like the acrid smell of smoke, so they almost immediately fly to other places farther away.

Note! In old recipes from bees, it is also recommended to burn not just damp grass, but a special plant, the smell of which they cannot stand - catnip.

Insects hate the acrid smell of smoke.

Folk remedies offering various options for how to get rid of bees are the safest for humans, since they contain practically no preservatives and chemicals, while the purchased ones are stuffed with synthetic components.

What are bees afraid of?

To begin with, it is worth remembering how parents said in childhood: "Do not wave your hands, otherwise the bee will bite." These insects are really very afraid of sudden movements, but at the same time they become quite aggressive.

How to get rid of wild bees

Bees hate fur, hair that is not tied in a bun, and invading their personal space. Zoologists associate this with a developed instinct: in the wild, bears, foxes and martens often climbed into the hive to bees, which in the end ruined insect dwellings.

Another item among the fears of bees is fire. The bright light emanating from the flame is associated with danger in bees, and the pungent smell of smoke scares away bees in an instant.

Anything that bees fear can be used to get rid of them.

Important!It is necessary to get rid of insects, especially using fire, observing all safety rules. Bonfires should not be lit in the immediate vicinity of trees or the hive, as this can cause a severe fire.

Special device - smoker

For more efficient work, you can purchase a special device - a smoker. He helps to launch several jets of smoke into the bee house in order to expel the bees that bother people from there. Moreover, after such exposure, they become calmer and do not attack people.

How to destroy a bee colony and save honey

Of course, the main advantage of bees is the honey they produce. Every apiary owner should know how to destroy a bee colony and save honey. First of all, this is useful if the insects behave quite aggressively towards their owners, and indeed towards people. In general, there are 2 ways to deal with bee colonies: to euthanize or split the bee colony in different houses, thus removing them from the desired hive to the beekeeper.

Sulfur wick

How to get rid of bees in a wooden house wall

The most popular way to kill bees is to use a sulfur wick. It can be purchased at a pet store or any major apiary. Place the wick directly into the hive, close its roof and wait for a while. Sulfur oxide will lead to the extinction of the "inhabitants", the beekeeper will only have to remove them.

Note! Sometimes, to tame aggression, it is enough to simply remove the uterus. It is she who is the main provocateur. If you move it to another house, the hive will quickly calm down and return to its original calm state.

Another way is to move to another hive. Insects that get "on a visit" to others cease to defend their territory so brutally (of course, only until they are completely mastered). It is necessary to solve the problem of aggressive bee colonies immediately upon occurrence. Only in this way the likelihood of a more effective impact on the bees and their sooner return to their normal state is high.

With all these methods, honey is preserved, as insects become less active, do not eat it, but still produce it.

How to clean a bee hive in an attic

Bee remedy

Quite often, bee houses appear in the attics of summer cottages and country houses. Since they cause serious discomfort, the question certainly arises of how to remove a bee hive. There are also 2 ways to get rid of insects in such a situation: more humane, involving relocation and less humane - complete destruction.

Bee hive in the attic

Safe methods include the following options:

  • Option using a plastic bag.It must be thrown on top of the interfering nest, tightly closed, taken out into the street and shaken out all the contents somewhere far from home.
  • Chemicals. In the immediate vicinity of the bee dwelling, you need to put a large container, adding strong-smelling chemicals to the water: a detergent for washing the floor or plumbing is quite suitable. Such a pungent smell will irritate insects, and they will fly away from this place.
  • Wait for winter and then get rid of the bee's nest. In winter, insects disappear from their nests, abandoning them. Therefore, deciding to remove a bee hive in winter, a person is unlikely to be able to bring any harm to anyone. Removal process: carefully cut the socket, put in a bag, discard or burn. The place of attachment of the nest and everything around should be treated with insect repellents in order to avoid re-settlement in the same place.

Less humane methods, involving the complete destruction of the bees that colonize the hive, are:

  • Option with a plastic bag. The technology is similar to that described above, but at the end, the nest is burned.
  • Kerosene or gasoline. Spray the hive liberally with a strong-smelling spray bottle. From it, the bees suffocate and die.
  • Polyurethane foam. Foam is poured into all the cracks in the nest. Discard the nest after processing.

  • A poison like dichlorvos. Upon completion of processing, the nest is discarded.

Important!Before using a product such as dichlorvos, you need to make sure that there are no cracks in the hive from which poison can seep out.

How to get rid of nature

Often, bees can pretty much spoil the rest of a fun company in nature, suddenly attacking the rest. Most often this can happen in the forest or on vacation by the reservoir. Therefore, when going on vacation of this type, you need to think in advance how to drive the bees away in case of such a situation.

If the picnic includes cooking kebabs, then there should be no problems getting rid of these buzzing insects. They, smelling the smell of a fire, immediately fly away. A good method is the use of adhesive tapes, which are impregnated with a special composition so that they fly not towards those who are eating, but away from the place where the smell is emitted.

The reliable way is using adhesive tapes

Making homemade traps is also a good option. To do this, you need to use a bait in the form of candied honey, jam or fermented compote. As soon as the insects sit down on the sweet, you can simply cover them with some kind of lid. You can also use pieces of sweet fruit or meat, or purchase special bee baits.

Note!The composition of these funds does not cause any reaction in wasps, but it attracts bees very much, therefore it fights only with the latter.

The most effective way to expel bees from anywhere is fire. In nature, this is easier than ever. Sometimes, not just ordinary smoke from burning wood can help, but the one that is formed from burning wet wood. It is more caustic and insects fly away instantly.

How to get rid of thief bees

Who is a thief bee? This is a bee that deliberately enters the hive to others, kills the queen in order to carry honey out of there, and sometimes brood. Those bees that remain in the hive without a queen either die, or they themselves begin to transfer everything to the neighboring hive. But this is far from the end of her actions. Then the real invasion of thief bees begins. What can all this lead to? Because of this, there are endless flights of bees from one house to another. It can be very difficult to stop this at times.

Thief bee

The further development of such bee chaos can be hindered either by sudden deterioration of weather conditions, or by moving the hives to a new place.

Note!If you do not make the transfer of the apiary on time, then there may be nothing to save.

How to protect an apiary from bee theft

During periods when honey is not collected, hives should be opened and inspected exclusively in the evening.Also, when lifting frames filled with honey, it is important to ensure that it does not drain too much. In extreme cases, you should wipe the stains with a damp cloth. This is done so that the bees do not smell, because they are flying towards him.

Important! The beekeeper must very closely watch his bees and look for the most weakened among all families.

By the way, the alleged thief bee can also be found and calculated: it behaves suspiciously attentively, as if looking closely at its congeners. As a rule, bees themselves can calculate such an “individual”, protecting their homes.

Bees are insects that require special attention, both when they are bred on purpose, and in the case when they appear out of nowhere. You can get rid of them, but for this you need to make every effort.
