Come September they will be gone. ---------- Post added 07-08-2013 at 12:00 ---------- I would prefer to leave them but am getting 2 - 3 bees in my bedroom each morning.

spider1 11 #11 Posted August 7, 2013 I would prefer to leave them but am getting 2 - 3 bees in my bedroom each morning. Leave them alone another 3 weeks they will go never to be seen again .You will cause yourself a big prob if you stsrt disturbing them . Dont block there entrance thats when they start looking for an alternative way in and finish up all over the house. If you try to kill them there are hundreds that are not in the hive out collecting so LEAVE THEM ALONE .OPEN A WINDOW LET THEM OUT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
