Bees are useful, but for many people they can be a real danger because they are allergic to bees. That's why many people mistakenly use fly swatters etc. and want to kill the bees. It would be enough if you just drove the bees away.
Bees are very sensitive and react strongly to scent stimuli. There are scents that attract bees and there are scents that drive away bees. For example, the smell of coffee. You can scatter coffee grounds in the open area or provide small bowls or containers with coffee powder.
However, if you are bothered by coffee grounds in your outdoor area, you may want to consider using another method to get rid of bees. How about basil, for example? – For this purpose, it is sufficient if you plant the basil on your balcony or on your terrace in pots or plant bowls. The scent of the basil is very strong and drives the bees away almost by itself.
It's also completely natural for bees to be attracted to something sweet, so it's not at all surprising if you're sitting at the outdoor coffee table and before you know it, you get an unwanted visit from bees. Therefore, make sure that you cover cakes and drinks securely. Because they quickly crawl into a bottle and end up in your mouth unintentionally. This can be particularly bad and very dangerous for allergy sufferers.
More tips to keep bees away or get rid of them
- Fly screens are a good choice to keep bees out of the house or apartment. These can be easily attached to the window frame and removed again when necessary - i.e. when the warm season is over. In addition, fly screens keep all insects and creepy crawlies away.
- If there are nests in your house or garden, you can have them relocated by a beekeeper or the fire department, but this can be quite expensive.
- If you have had the nest removed, you should treat the area with a special agent, which you can purchase in spray form at any common hardware store. This is how you prevent the nest from being built again.
- Using smoke can be just as helpful as coffee grounds. However, this is not particularly pleasant for humans either.
Before you take action against the bees, you should know that they are normally harmless. They simply defend themselves when they feel that they are being threatened. So just let the little buzzers buzz around your garden for a bit. Avoid killing the animals and simply get rid of them with some home remedies.
