I think it's a sign of the 'end times'.

Besides closing the window a screen might help.
It is swarm season in much of the USA
red bottlebrush? Calliandra? Chestnut? Annatto?
No guessing where you are.
Here is a novel idea, next time you get a bee indoors try walking it onto a piece of paper and letting it out the window, trapping it on a windowpane under a drinking glass and then sliding a piece of junk mail over the top will contain it.

Thanks for the response. I live in southern CA. I have screens on all of the windows in my apartment, I've checked the screens for holes and open gaps along the sides. I found a few more dead bees on the kitchen floor yesterday; no live ones. Very strange...

Sally_G,
I hope you and your mom get along okay; sounds like to me, you'll be there more than just one night. Now you've given us enough information to go on...apparently a honeybee swarm has taken up residence inside the wall next to the kitchen window. That hive will have to be removed and/or destroyed and their access hole(s), blocked up. Maybe this can be done in just one day but given my experiences with apartment managers, it'll probably take more....

I live in Arizona, where 99.9% of our honey bees are now Africanized. I'm allergic to bee stings, and have taken care to remove ALL flowering plants from around my house (except one hibiscus, which I have never seen bees around).

Last week, there was a bee on the wall next to my back door. I stuck a flyswatter out the door to shoo it away, and it fell to the ground. Later, it died.

Yesterday and today, I found one single dead bee on the patio by my back door.

Several times a week I check the entire perimeter of my house and the yard for any signs of a hive forming. Since I am allergic, I certainly want to nip any problem in the bud. I have seen NO signs of a hive, anywhere. But the three dead bees concern me as that has never happened in the 6 years I have lived in this house.

Reading the post above makes me very concerned that there could be a problem forming somewhere around my house, without me knowing about it.

Any suggestions on what to do or any hints on what to look for that I might be missing? I do go outside and check at dusk, when the bees should be heading home to their hive.

I don't want to sound like a "wacko"... but I've had similar unexplained experiences for the last three years. The first time it was "sowbugs" - absolutely abundant, dead, in two rooms of the house for three days (I cleaned them up each day). Each year its the same time, I can't remember last years specie, this year it was something that looked like a ladybug but an orangish color. Three years in a row, three days each, very few alive bugs, all dead in huge numbers. In the same two spots.

My house is very sealed up, there is absolutely no way for them to get in.

This phenomenon also happened to me in July 2010, I lived here for 6 yrs. and carpenter bees, which I no longer see any of here in CT, were not the culprits, and have mysteriously disappeared and were not present this calender year, The Bumble bee was entering my home, I also came into my home one day to find several bumble bees dead. After approximately two weeks, they continued to find entry into my home in which they would just die off. I thought that it was my fault for covering a nest hole into my back door, I could hear the queen in the wall buzzing, and frequently, one or two or even three would find entry into my home even after sealing any possible entrances into my home, I find this weird, but the only possible cause that I could come up with is the cell phone towers are redirecting the bees causing them to no longer be able to follow their natural signals that they emit to communicate.

I'm having this problem now and for the last few years around this time, I have no idea how they are getting in except for maybe the vents from the air conditioner outside. Most are dead or dying, the lie ones stay in the window as if they were trying to get out, but you can see that they are dying. I sealed all my windows. I have over twenty two windows in my home, however I only find the dead or dying bees in two (in my family room). Both windows are below my vents. I clean up 30 to 40 bees a day. I thought I was the only one with this issue, I see now I'm not, but all of us has the problem but no answer to why and how?????

I just found about 2 dozen dead bees in my house this evening. I'm in Honolulu, Hawaii, and last night we had a heavy rain pass through. Then today it was extremely humid from last night's rain. I was home until 3:30 in the afternoon and didn't notice any bees. I got home at 8pm and found dead bees throughout the house. My house is very big, and I do have a few holes in some screens. So they may have found a way to get it, but I don't see why the bees would want to come into a house and die. Very bizarre!

every morning when i switch on my bathroom light at 5 am the bees come in direct to the light and minutes later start crawling on the floor and eventually died...... is this normal ar does it mean someting ..... ?

I just found 8 bees dead in a room where the door has been closed all day. They weren’t there this morning and I live in AZ. Most of them were grouped near the window but one was across the room.

This is exactly what just happened to me. I have a photography studio in my house and keep the door shut to that room. Yesterday I went in and there was a bee crawling on the floor. My husband caught it and took it outside because I am very allergic to bees. I went in my studio again today and counted eight dead bees on the floor by the window, one dead bee in the middle of the room, and one dead bee by the door. I have no idea where they’re coming from. Needless to say, I‘ve since left the studio, shut the door and am waiting for my husband to get home from work to figure out what to do next. I can’t chance getting stung. Did you ever find out where your bees were coming from?

I'm a beekeeper & I capture swarms & remove hives from homes. you probably have a hive in your wall or ceiling joists. a few get it in thru a light fixture or some similar access point. you're finding them near the window because they are drawn to the light. watch outside to see where they are entering. check around for a local beekeeping association. they usually have a list of people who remove bees. killing them in your wall can lead to other problems like mold, ants, mice...….there's also an insect that hitched a ride in some freight in the 90's from Africa called the small hive beetle. most hives have some lurking in the hive. if the bee population drops the beetle population explodes & you'll be finding them & their larva in your home instead of the bees.

Sometimes bees build there hives in side the walls. Or they can squeeze through small holes.
