Bee nest what to do

11 years ago

Today I was in our garden when suddenly i felt a sting on my knee I knew it was a bee sting instantly. A few days later I was back in the garden when another one flew up my skirt and stung my belly soon after I realised they had a nest in the tree right next to me.

A honey bee (not africanized) is very unlikely to sting you if you're minding your own business even in the vicinity of the hive. Yellow jackets (usually underground nests) and bald faced hornets (usually above ground) are another matter.

call a bee keeper if you have a nest of honey bees and they will probably come and remove it
there is probley a bee keepers club in your town or county

I have never had any problems with bald face hornets , they fly around my fields and eat flies off my livestock
yellow jacks are an other story

I was mowing today and was stung eight times by what I believe were yellow jackets. I found holes in the yard they were flying in and out of. How can I get rid of them. I'm afraid to even walk in the yard now.

There's always RAID Wasp & Hornet killer, or generic equivalent thereof. Shoot it at the hole while standing several feet away from it.

When my father was alive, his remedy was to wait until dusk when the nest has quieted down, pour kerosene in the hole and light it on fire. I don't know how environmentally friendly that is by today's standards!
