Honey is
delicious, but the bees that make it are less appealing when they've made a
hive in your house. However, it's better to save these beneficial and
endangered insectsrather than exterminate them. These tips will help you handle
honey bees without harming yourself or the bees.
Know
Your Bees
First,
ascertain that you are dealing with honey bees and not another species of
stinger. Bees are fuzzy, unlike most wasps, and their nests are built from
honeycombs of wax, rather than wood fibers or clay.
Bring
in a Beekeeper
To avoid
being stung, keep a distance from the hive's entrances, and call a beekeeper.
Reputable extermination companies will work with
beekeepers in the case of honey bees, and can arrange an appointment for you.
With the right equipment, a beekeeper can move an entire hive and the bees in
it, relocating it from your house to a safe environment.
Cleaning
Up
After the
main hive and bees have been removed, all traces of the honeycomb and honey
must be cleaned up, or else the odor may attract new bees. Seal up any cracks
in the walls and fill interior wall cavities to discourage more hives.
Though honey
bees nesting in your house can be a nuisance, beekeepers have the equipment and
experience to safely remove and preservetheir hives. Follow
