How to safely remove a bee hive

68

By jackjen

Here's a suggestion

Put on one of those all over painter suits and duck tape the wrist angels and neck areas to prevent any bees from flying into the suit. Then try smoking the bees so relax them a little and place the smoking paper in the bag, then cover the hive gently with a black garbage bag and tie it in a knot around the stem and secure it with duct tape, cut the beehive stem so that he hive comes off and all the bees should be safely secured in the bad with the smoke so that they can't come out and attack. Also be sure to have a helper so that when you cut the stem you can lower the bag to them and they can dispose of it in the proper place. sorry if this sounds corny, just trying to think outside the box.

If that doesn't work hire a professional and watch them so that next time you can do it yourself (if there is a next time).
