Thank you hanamizu. Yes, year-round flowers here. My thought is tomorrow early morning to use some long tongs and grab the top of the worm bin and flip it over so the comb (which is now almost completely covered with bees) is then on top and drag it to a sunny spot. Maybe I’ll only flip it over tomorrow and drag it to a sunny spot the next morning. Although finding a sunny spot close to the location it is in might be problematic as it’s been quite overcast here lately.
I’ve been worried the bees might get mad and swarm me. I have this idea of getting one of those very large clear trash bags and putting it over myself, head to knees for protection, with a hole for one arm to peek through and hold the tongs.
Then, when I’m found dead several days later covered in bee stings and lying on the ground shroud in a plastic trash bag with tongs in my hand there will be a real mystery as to what in the hell I was doing.
They might attack you or they might not. It depends on their ‘mood’. Smoke will calm them if you have a way to produce and direct the smoke.
A clear plastic bag will not likely provide much protection. A bee can string right through it. A fairly thick long-sleeve shirt tucked into jeans should protect a lot of your body. Tucking the jeans legs into long socks will protect your ankles and legs—people tend to forget that bees walk on the ground as well as fly. But you need to find a way to protect you face, eyes, ears & nose. Stings on the face can get pretty unpleasant.
If you have animal control in your area, the best bet would be to call them. They likely have a few beekeepers on a list for just such occurrences. Most will be glad to relieve you of your unwanted swarm for free. Good luck!
