Prevention Tips

• Seal Entry Points: Inspect your home for gaps, cracks, or holes where bees might nest. Seal these areas with caulk or mesh.
• Remove Attractants: Avoid leaving sugary foods, drinks, or open garbage around your property. These can attract bees.
• Avoid Bright Colors and Strong Scents: Bright clothing and floral-scented products can draw bees to you.

Dealing with a Swarm

• Stay Calm: Swarming bees are usually not aggressive; they’re looking for a new home.
• Do Not Disturb: Avoid swatting or provoking the bees.
• Call Professionals: Contact a beekeeper or pest control service to safely remove the swarm.

4. Natural Bee Deterrents

• Citrus or Peppermint Oil: Bees dislike these scents. Mix a few drops of essential oil with water and spray it in areas you want to keep bee-free.
• Smoke: Bees are naturally repelled by smoke. However, avoid excessive use as it can stress the bees.
