How do I get rid of bumble bees? They are drilling holes in my porch. Can anyone help me before they demolish it. Thanks.
How can I get rid of a colony of big, bumbling bees that have invaded our porch between the ceiling and roof?

Call the beekeeper. Look in the yellow pages for a number. He will trap the queen and the drones will follow. Ask for a price up front. It shouldn't be very much.
Bees are on the decline in the U.S. and if you can learn to live in harmony with the bees, you will be doing a wonderful thing. All bees pollinate our food supply and are very important to our very existence!

People who are allergic to bee stings can die from a sting. In that case, the person has to take drastic action.
Call an exterminator. They may be able to remove the bees without harming them. As for the bee stings, there is an allergy shot taken for a year that will immunize you against the stings.
My grandson was fatally allergic to them and was told one more sting would kill him. He took the series of shots, was tested and is now immune. You should at least carry an EpiPen (from the Dr.) until the situation is taken care of. This is a serious matter.
Bumble bees are not very aggressive, but if you are allergic, I suggest you call someone to see what can be done about these bees. Honey bees are a protected species, and beekeepers will come and take them away. If you live in a city or town, call the town office and see what they suggest.
