Removing honey bee nest without killing them?
they’ve nested inside the frames of two patio chairs. how do i get them out without pesticides/ killing them and not being stung? also, what is the yellow powdery stuff they’re dropping under the chairs? thanks.
Hmmm. Honeybees are very beneficial and suffering on a worldwide scale a mysterious syndrome called colony collapse disorder. The colony inhabiting your chair (if they are truly honeybees) maybe worth something to a local beekeeper. If you try to remove the colony yourself, without pesticides/killing them, you may still cause the colony irreparable harm and ultimately kill them anyway. I understand your concern about yourself or your family or pets getting injured. For now, you might consider very gently moving the chairs at night to a safe location. Building a very smoky fire with cardboard, pine needles or rotten wood in a metal bucket (wear gloves) and keeping the bucket near the person moving the chairs will keep the bees calm. Bees are generally inactive at night. Otherwise, you should definitely call a local beekeeper. A garden center, nearby orchard, etc should be able to get you in contact with one.
The yellow powdery substance is pollen, a sign that the bees are doing their job and helping flowers, fruit trees, etc reproduce. Hope this helps. Good Luck!
