Yellow bees belong to the group of wasps and are most often in conflict with humans. Unlike honey bees and paper bees, yellow bees are highly social, active in foraging and can be quite aggressive when provoked. Yellow bees are considered beneficial insects, but sometimes we also have to deal with these nasty wasps and their nests.
Steps
Single yellow bee treatment
- Avoid killing honey bees, which play an important role in the ecology but are not overly aggressive towards humans. Speaking of honey bees’ contribution, it is believed that they are responsible for 1/3 of our food! [2] X Research Source
- Honey bees will die after stinging once and are generally not aggressive towards humans. They are gentle, only burning to protect themselves and warn the whole nest. [3] X Research Source In contrast, wasps can sting countless times and are not reserved.
- On the other hand, you should not open a window or door if you know that there is a yellow honeycomb on the opposite side.
- Likewise, you should not use any insecticidal spray to deal with a yellow bee. Sprays are contaminating if used indoors and can be harmful to anyone nearby.
- Killing wasps (or inciting them) can also make their companions extremely aggressive. Wasp venom is a “warning venom,” which can attract other yellow wasps to come and target you. [7] X Research Sources
- Place the food in a sealable jar or soft drink bottle with a screw cap. When a yellow bee lands, lock it inside and throw it away (or release it if you’re in the right environment).
- You can put a net over the top of the bucket if you are worried about other animals coming to eat the meat.
Honeycomb treatment
- Depending on the severity of an individual’s allergy, a wasp sting can be life-threatening. Stings can cause anaphylaxis within minutes, leading to swelling, dizziness, and difficulty breathing. [10] X Research Source
- If you don’t know where the hive is, you may need to lure them in with food and watch as they fly back to the hive. Yellow bees usually fly straight in and out of the hive, not swooping down or circling. [12] X Research Source A piece of meat, jam, tuna, cat food dipped in water or soft drink can be used as a very effective bait.
- The hive is usually started by a female bee in the spring and will grow for an entire year before dying. In hot climates, hives can persist from year to year, growing very large and crowded. [13] X Research Sources However this is relatively rare.
- If the hive is large and spiral-shaped, you are probably dealing with wasps. If the hive looks like gray-white honeycombs, it may be the nest of the paper wasp, a species of bee that is related to the yellow bee but is less aggressive. [14] X Research Source
- Yellow bees are also more active during the day. While it’s harder to see at night, treating the hive at night means you’re less likely to have to deal with active bees.
- If you are not in a hot climate all year round, the hive will die in the winter. If it’s late fall, you might want to wait for the bees to fly away – they’re usually most aggressive in the fall.
- Despite being a nuisance to humans, yellow bees still play an important role in nature. They pollinate flowers and hunt flies, caterpillars, spiders and other crop-destroying pests. [15] X Research Source It’s best to avoid bright colors that can be mistaken for flowers.
- Wrap the flashlight in red cellophane or use a red bulb. Yellow bees can’t see in red light and won’t be wary of flashlights if you’re approaching at night (which is a good thing). [16] X Research Source If you don’t have cellophane, you should shine the flashlight away from the nest when approaching at night.
- Spray cans are usually designed to spray up to about 6 meters away. Take advantage of this and stand on the ground if you can. Your range of motion will be greatly reduced when you are on a ladder and it is even more dangerous if you are attacked by bees while standing on high.
- If the hive is underground, cover the hive with soil immediately after spraying or spraying.
- With the hives on the outside, you can spray directly into the hive according to the instructions on the package. Powdered medicine can be administered through a syringe.
- Using hot soapy water to spray the hive is also an option, although the effect is not as fast. Mix 1/3 cup soap with 2 liters of water, then pour into a spray bottle and spray on the hive. You will have to spray several times per day and for several days.
- Plan a safe retreat in advance (preferably indoors). After spraying, you have up to 10-15 seconds to retreat indoors.
- If for some reason you want to keep the hive in its place, that’s fine too. It is very rare for yellow bees to reuse the old hive. [18] X Research Sources
- Some people prefer to keep the wasp nest because they are attracted to its natural beauty and complexity. You can display it if you like. Bee eggs can’t hatch and survive without being fed and cared for, so if the hive is dormant for a week, you’ve escaped the bees. [19] X Research Source
Advice
- The best way to prevent yellow bee infestation is to cover food and keep trash cans covered.
Warning
- People who are allergic to wasp stings often carry an Epi-Pen to prevent anaphylaxis. If you find that the person stung by a wasp seems to have difficulty breathing, ask if they have an injection pen and are allergic to wasps. They may need urgent medical attention.
- Before spraying or sprinkling yellow bee repellent on your soil, read the product label carefully to make sure it’s safe for the soil and water.
