epsilonGreedy Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Some angry "Top Gun" bees nesting in my cavity wall got the better of my brickie and his mate. After multiple attacks and one sting they went home early. The bees are accessing the cavity via two slots left open for profiles clamps. What can I do to persuade the bees to relocate?

ProDave Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 @Jeremy Harris made a simple device to squirt some powder in from a distance. My own method was wait until disk when activity is low, go and empty a can of RAID into the hole, then RUN. I take no responsibility if you follow that method.

A_L Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Honeybees will relocate if they think they are threatened by fire. Heavily smoking the location may work but you may have to use a 'nuclear' option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this qualifies as conventional or nuclear insect warfare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
