Bee collection

[sappersrest]

My neighbour has an extremly large nest of bees hanging from the eves of their house, we have asked on several occasions for the bees to be removed with no avail.

The moohban management have also asked for it to be removed.

The upshot is that if it is  not removed in 7 days the tessabahn will send their pest control around and destroy both the bees and nest with poison.

Does any one know of bee keeper that will come and collect the nest, it is in Sanameng.

Many thanks

Why you need the bees to be removed ? , bees are good , now those big Wasps are another thing,

I had a hive hanging from one of our mango trees.

Everyone came round for a look and to tell us how lucky it was.

After around 5 months they moved on.

Never caused any harm or stung anyone.

Why are you so concerned?

What kind of bees? Honey or vespa? Save the honey and kill the vespas.

Sad there aren’t any suggestions for bee keepers on here. I’m sure they’re out there somewhere, but no one really knows.

These are wild bees so I don't think any bee keeper will have anything to do with them. It is possible however to harvest the honey if you know how... Once you harvest the honey the bees will relocate

I had bees in front of my kitchen window (balcony/condo). Unfortunately that was unacceptable. Wife didn’t know of any easily available service to remove them. So DIY with bug spray. So sad.

Why not get a suit n hood, smoke puffer, a large wooden box with a lid and small holes drilled for ventilation all over the box and lid.

Collect the hive piece by piece, gently put in box, take to a forrest area, smoke the box again, remove the cover then open the box and leave it there.

What a cool and kind thing to do for the bees and their work in the ecosystem.

The world needs every bee it can get, wild or otherwise.

An apiarist would puff a bit of smoke, find the Queen, put her in a hive & all will follow.

Amazingly regimented, bees

Dead wrong.  I've been searching for a wild hive since my gardener completely destroyed one a meter from my property.  He harvested the honey like a bear would instead of telling me first in which case I could have given him the honey and saved the hive for my hive box.

Ah, yes, that would be so easy.  Geez...

He can't find a bee keeper so what do you think the chances are of his being able to get a suit, hood, smoker and having the ability to remove the nest, not to mention access a conveniently close "forest area" for disposal?!

Wasps (vespas) don't make honey.

My mother-in-law has a sure and humane way to make bees go away. She says lots of Buddhist prayers, waves burning joss sticks around,  and then applies lots of smoke. And it works! The bees go away. For about 15 minutes

Wasps are not vespas.

The Vespidae are divided into the subfamilies Vespinae (yellow jackets and hornets) and Polistinae (wasps). The Vespinae are split into three genera: Vespula (yellow jackets), Dolichovespula and Vespa (hornets).
Apis, aka honey bee.
