Bee issue-need help

kathi512

Ok. I am terrified of most bugs. Especially bees. Of any kind. Even the giant fuzzy ones that supposedly don't sting. Well over the past couple of days, every time I go in the basement I find one of the giant fuzzy bees crawling around. Now I absolutely refuze to go down there. I'm making DH do the laundry. Any suggestions on how to get rid of them? I don't know how they're getting in & DH is going to check for a nest. But I was just curious if anyone had any info on these. Thanks!

Call an exterminator and see if they can help you find out how they're getting in.

Do you have a chimney or a vent or a duct of some type on the roof? A dime says they have set up their hive in there. I had foraging bees in my chimney a very long time ago --- maybe you can also call a beekeeper to put a hive box where they're nesting and hopefully they'll take up residence in there.:) After that, he can take the nest box away.:)

Don't call an exterminator, call a bee keeper. Bees are good insects and on the decline so you don't want them killed, just moved.

this... don't exterminate them.

Why would you exterminate if your DH is doing the laundry?  I say move those bad boys into the dishwasher too!
