Bee's in the House (1 Viewer)

Last year, we ended up finding numerous wasps in the house. A few down in the basement and then a couple up in the family room. I went around and searched for areas that I thought they might have been getting in and sealed them up. There were not many potential areas but one I really thought was likely the culprit I spent extra time on and sealed up real well. All has been fine...

Until the last couple of weeks. We have found 6 or 7 dead (except the one that my daughter, 6 years old, says she killed, but I am suspicious she was beating a dead horse.... or bee as it happens) bees in the house. They have been all over. A couple in the family room, a couple in the kitchen area, and another one in one of the bathrooms.

I have already done the sealing for the previous wasps. I did a walk around the house and did not notice anything. I guess I will get up on the roof this weekend and check. What else? Any bee experts among the FBG community?

 
Siding/flashing is what  they get behind in my house. From there it's not that much of a stretch to get into attic/roof spaces and eventually into the house, where everyone goes into lockdown until I get a fly swatter or magazine and kill it. 

My kids would asphyxiate us all with the spray if left to their own means (or abandon the house and start fresh in another state, it's 50/50).

My daughter (6 years old).... 

"I killed the fly Daddy. First, I smacked it. And it didn't work. So, I squirted it with water. It didn't work. So, I smashed it." she was motivated to kill. 

 
We had them in our house last year. Little killers made their way into our soffit on the first floor then traveled through floor joist (gap in between them where insulation is)and were making their way in via a ceiling light. 

I despise the little terrorists so i went a little overboard. Ymmv.

Is it wasps or bees? They are quite different. A bee expert may not know how to deal with wasps. You may need the advice of an exterminator rather than an apiarist.

my advice is become a trained beekeeper those guys are good stuff man they have a cool hat and a thing that just makes smoke go all over so in short what is not to like nothing that is what take that to the  bank brobeego 

 
wasps do have one natural predator and that is the fun loving ringtail lemur you would think man why would a full of life ringtail lemur hate wasps but you know what dont think about it lemurs are just cool as hell and they like to swat the hell out of wasps it is there jam so just go with it and be prepared to fall in love all over again with a spicy ringtailed lemur take that to the bank brohans 

 
The fact that stinging insects keep showing up your house symbolizes how the harsh modern world intrudes upon the safety of the traditional nuclear family.  No matter how you try to keep violence, hatred, and political polarization at bay, there is nothing you can do to fully shield your daughter from these forces.  They will work their way into her life, and she will ultimately have to reckon with them on her own.

Either that, or you should call an exterminator.  I don't know.

 
Maybe, as a starter, you could start keeping ALL the doors closed in every room. The room where wasps show up is the one where they enter the house. HTH.

 
I was going to put in a link to a little cartoon showing bees vs wasps, but it has the f-word in it, and I don't want a time out.

I love this.

We've had bees floating around a corner of our house for 4 years now. Sometimes they would randomly get into the house. We have had 4 different beekeepers come out and tell us they were "rogue" bees, that they had no Queen and were just attracted to some pheromones in the ceiling. Well, we got the roof replaced two weeks ago and...

BEES

We had just paid a beekeeper to come out 3 days before.

Dude. How could you not have heard that? 

Those are the dumbest exterminators and beekeepers ever. I assume you will pursuing a refund from all of the morons you paid? Tell them you will post that picture and the copies of their receipts all over social media and any site you can post a review.

We have an upstairs office and worked under it for years. Also have a bed in there and people stay all the time. Nobody ever heard a thing.

Did you keep the honey?

 
Based on who started this thread, I assumed he had hired Beyonce to perform at his birthday party or something

 
Probably lost in the purge, but I posted about having bees in my house a few years ago.

My wife had noticed a few bees continually flying around one of the windows of our home.  After a week or so, she said we should call someone.  We had a beekeeper come out, and sure enough there was a massive hive in one of our walls.  Beekeeper took it out along with all of the honey and honeycomb and all the bees.  

He mentioned it was a good size hive, probably on the order of 50 effing thousand bees were in our walls.  I posted pictures of the process, was pretty cool.

That's a cool story and it would be very relevant if the bee's weren't wasps

:P
