how to get a be out of the house obtain
a cup or bowl a clear bowl or cup is
preferable though not necessary a
plastic cup or bowl is also preferable
since it's lower mass will reduce the
risk of damaging your wall or window
during the trapping process you can use
any regular cup or Bowl you might have
around your house while a bowl allows
for a wider margin of error when
trapping the beat the cup is easier to
keep covered and move out once the B has
been trapped wear a long-sleeved shirt
and pants long-sleeved shirts and pants
provide maximum coverage over your body
making it less likely for you to be
stung do not wear shorts or t-shirts
when trapping a bee in a container trap
the be within your cup or Bowl when the
bee has landed on a flat smooth surface
slow bring the container of your choice
toward the bee with one hand when you're
within six to twelve inches of the beat
rapidly bring the container over the B
trapping it within do not attempt to
trap a bee which is on the carpet the
chances it will escape are too great
choose a cover for your container you
can use a wide variety of materials to
cover the container which you have
trapped the B beneath when trapping bees
with a bowl you could use a folded
newspaper a full sheet of thick paper or
a manila envelope when trapping bees
within a cup you could use a note card
or magazine think about the radius of
your cup or bowls open end and choose a
cover which corresponds appropriately
whatever you choose it should be
relatively thin place the cover between
the bee and the surface it landed on
after choosing your cover slip it slowly
between the lip of the bowl or glass you
trap the B under and the wall or hard
surface on which the bee was sitting
starting at one edge of the container
ease it up by about one or two
millimeters slip your magazine or note
card beneath the container and continue
to push it across the surface the bee
was sitting on the bee will likely be
surprised and fly about after having the
container placed over it this will make
the process of easing the cover over
your can
tainer that much easier take the be
outside with the cover safely over the
container you've captured the be in move
to an open door take the be about ten
paces from your home and remove the
paper holding the be in the cup or bowl
you've trapped it in place the mouth of
the cup or bowl on the ground then slide
the cover off ensure that it flies or
crawls out and run quickly back to your
home closing the door firmly behind you
before the bee can find its way back in
don't take the beat too far away its
hive is likely nearby and without access
to it it will surely die allowing the
bee to leave on its own open the windows
of your house if your windows have
screens of storm windows on them open
them as well if you have to remove the
screens place them somewhere close by
the window so they do not get misplaced
or mismatched to a different window
later raise the curtains or blinds so
the bee can exit if the Sun has set and
you have a light directly outside the
window you can turn it on and turn off
the lights of the room the bee is in
when the bee leaves to hover by the
light outside close the window behind it
open the doors of your home if you have
an additional screen door which has a
spring-loaded latch on it which causes
it to close automatically use the small
locking latch near the hinge of the
spring mechanism to hold your door open
if you have a security door you can
leave it closed assuming there is no
screen on it if there is a screen on it
open it as well if you have sliding
glass doors
remove any curtains concealing them so
the bee can see the world outside when
you notice it bump up against the door
carefully open it to let the bee out
wait several minutes for the bee to
leave with the doors and windows open
the bee will seek a way to return to its
hive and explore nearby flowers while
waiting for the bee to make its exit
keep an eye on your doors and windows to
ensure birds and other wildlife do not
enter close your windows and doors as
soon as the bee leaves removing bees
with sugar water
mix some water and sugar bees are
attracted to sweet flavors like the
nectar they obtain from flowers by
mixing up some sugar water you can
approximate a nectar like flavor makes
about one teaspoon of sugar with three
teaspoons of water you can mix the water
and sugar in a blender or mix it by hand
in a small cup you should not need more
than a cup of this mixture your bee
might like filtered water more than tap
water try a different quality of water
if your bee is not attracted to the
first sugar / water mix you concoct
place a half cup of the sweet mixture in
a jar you can use any size jar but make
sure it has a lid your jar can be of
glass or plastic but the lid must be
plastic old peanut butter jam or pasta
sauce jars make good choices seal the
jar by placing the lid on it punch a
hole in the lid of the jar the hole
should be about the size of the diameter
of your pinky finger it is important to
keep the hole small to ensure the bee
can crawl in but not out of the jar take
the jar out of your house when the bee
enters wait for the bee to enter the jar
when the bee enters the jar it might
drown in the sweet mixture if it drowns
remove the jar from the house take the
lid off and dump the bee and the sweet
mixture into an open grassy area at
least 10 paces from your house return to
your home and wash the container set the
live be free if the bee is alive within
the jar take it from your home and cover
the hole on the lid with your thumb or a
piece of duct tape walk at least 10
paces from your home and unscrew the lid
unscrew the lid but hold it partially
over the opening of the jar carefully
dump the sugar water out ensuring the
bee doesn't get coated with the water
when you've dumped most of the water out
turn the jar away from you and open the
lid completely when the bee flies out
run back to your home and close the door
behind you
