Bee hive in coop

[aart]

It is in the next box. The only way to get at it is to open the roof. Is is well seal of freedom the coop. So, i am going to use wasp/ yellow jacket spray. Will do it tomorrow morning. Water down the area. This should not impact the inside. Or at least not much. If it does, then i can do a full fall clean up. I will hang a few traps to catch the stragglers.

Thanks everybody.

Good Luck!

If you haven’t already used poison, a bucket of hot soapy water is very effective. The soap dries them out if they don’t drown.

What kills bees home remedy?

Add one teaspoon of vinegar or canola oil to a quart of water and place in a spraybottle. By spraying bees with this mixture, you not only make it difficult for them to fly, but they will suffocate.

Long sleeves, hoodie, gloves. Wasp spray. Emptied half the can, from very close. Ran like hell.

Bald face hornets?

I have seen yellow jacket nests like that. Compared to hornets, the yellow jackets make their nest in more protected locations and sometimes they can be above ground.

Unless color is way off....looks more like hornet than wasp.
