How to Remove a Honey Bee Nest
- 1). Dress yourself in protective clothing such as a long sleeve shirt, pants, a hat, work gloves, boots and sunglasses to attempt to prevent bee stings. Tuck your pants into your socks.
- 2). Spray an entire can of insect spray over and around the honey bee nest. Let it sit for a few hours.
- 3). Return to the honey bee hive and check to see if there is still activity. Spray a second can of insect repellent if bees are still swarming around the nest.
- 4). Cut the honey bee nest to remove it after all the bees are dead. Use garden sheers to break it down, and a stick to get in to hard to reach spots. Deposit the remnants of the honey bee nest in a plastic bag and discard it in the trash.
- 5). Fill a bucket with warm water and dish soap. Wash the area where the honey bee nest was with a sponge to clean away any residual beeswax.
- 6). Look for any holes that can attract a new swarm if the honey bee nest was located in the walls of your home, and fill them with caulk.
