[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 36786"] I am not an bee expert by no means, I just want to let you know before you try to spray a chemical on them that it probably won't work like it will on wasp's and hornet's. Bee's usually swarm so thick and the Queen is typically on the bottom of the pile and the bee's will remain protecting her until she decides to leave, the rest will be busy stinging the Pee-Hockey Poo out of you and whoever else is nearby. When a Bee Collector retrieve's hives they use smoke and they slowly brush the bee's away until they can see the Queen at which point they will put her in their box and they slide the top on it and the remainder of the bee's will enter the box through a small hole and once that is done they will unstall a plug in the hole and they will leave. If you attempt this maneuver yourself I have been told the worst time to do it is on a windy day or a cloud covered day. I was told that the bee's typically won't leave the hive under cloudy condition's because they use the sun to navigate, and when it is windy it is just too hard for them to be real productive. Well I will shut up now ! Good Luck On Your Venture . 2short [/QUOTE]
