Brrcats Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 I think you're confusing "bee documentary" with the charming animated children's flick "Bee Movie" staring Jerry Seinfeld and Renee Zellwegger no confusion, I was talking about the seinfeld movie. Its very impactful :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Sorry I am so late to this thread. they are swarming so they are harmless. I would have loved to have come and got the swarm but I wasn't home. Basically, they are focussed on one thing, finding a new house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Fire actually is kind of a solution: Start a smokey leaf fire under the limb, the smoke will scatter them..... Then, raid it for honey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Why would there be honey, it was a swarm. 1/2 the hive split off and ran away to find a new home. A swarm is simply in transit trying to find new digs. There is no need to kill them, 1 out of every 3 bites of food you take is due to a bee. Call me a hippy if you want but that's a reality.

oh8sti Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 There are now 2 hives. One near the ground in a plum tree. The other is up in a tree. Who can come get these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Are you afraid of them? ( not a snarky question) they will move on soon, of thier own accord. HideSwarm behavior A beekeeper collecting a bee swarm. A swarm of bees sometimes frightens people, though the bees are usually not aggressive at this stage of their life cycle. This is principally due to the swarming bees' lack of brood (developing bees) to defend and their interest in finding a new nesting location for their queen. This does not mean that bees from a swarm will not attack if they perceive a threat; however, most bees only attack in response to intrusions against their hive. Swarm clusters, hanging off of a tree branch, will move on and find a suitable nesting location in a day or two. Beekeepers are sometimes called to capture swarms that are cast by feral honey bees or from the hives of inattentive beekeepers.

Buck531 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I still have carpenter bees that fly around my garage this time of year looking to drill into the deadish wood I have on the outside of the garage.. Those fuckers are crazy. I can get within 1 foot of them and they just stand there.. buzzing.. and then take off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
