Hello all, 

 

Not sure what kind of bees they are, but would like them gone from the garden. 

 

Any tips? 

Yes they can be a bit of a nuisance, I get them regularly and been stung a few times cutting the hedges and shrubs.

They will leave on their own in a couple of weeks.

Don't attempt this yourself unless you have experience.

 

Find a local Thai who knows what he's doing.

Yes ^^^, this is not a job for an amateur.

 

Your local village office should have the names of their preferred bee (or snake or monitor lizard) wrangler who will remove them, often for free (if there's honey).

 

We get them occasionally but they are generally little trouble and move on of their own accord. Madam tells me it's lucky to have bees in the garden, if she says they can stay it's fine with me.

 

In light of the fact that their numbers are dwindling worldwide, you could just leave them be and, as others have pointed out, they'll just move on after a while. 

 

Bees are an important contributor to the environment. We have a mango orchard and occasionally my wife removes a honeycomb from a tree, she then drains the pure honey from the comb and bottles it. Leave the bees alone if you can, otherwise, as others have said, have the local bee bopper come by and do the job. 

We have two swarms  in our garden both have been they a while, one is in a clump of bamboo, I forgot they were they, and hacked and chopped the bamboo for some fencing stakes for our grass padlock, wife come out and said the bees, the bees, they never did bother me, neither has the other swarm.

As has been said leave them alone, I have not seen any of them flying  about for a while, being the dry season, not a lot of pollen about, they are staying at home?.  

Don't wish to destroy the hive, so will conform with local social distancing rules. ????

Send them my place need bees.

The number of honey bee colonies is actually increasing globally. Feral bees in the wild have decreased while the number of colonies kept by beekeepers in hives is growing every year.

we had them in our garden in Udon Thani for 3 years in a row. Just as others above have suggested, we left them to get on with their lives and they reciprocated! They were never a problem.

I don't know enough to recognize your hive, but there are honey bees and then there are wasps/hornets. 

 

Tiger wasps are extremely dangerous if the hive or the supporting tree is disturbed. You should have someone identify the actual insect and determine risk. 

 

This guy maybe has the right idea, send the gutsy wife out there to deal with it while you film it for us.
