Very seldom do honeybees build nests in ground, more common types of ground bees are yellow jackets and bumblebees. For details and identification visit our bee id guide.
Except for honeybees, most if not all of these ground bees will abandon their nests late in Fall season, however many times bee species like yellow jackets, wasps, will often continue to return to the grounds unless the nest is dug up and removed. Ground bees are an important part of organic pest control as well as pollination. Some common nuisances ground bees may cause is when the land or area needs to be tended to but the bees in the ground are delaying or frustrating the work from happening. Another concern is that of people being stung. Sometimes the bees are accidentally discovered in parks, which can discourage a picnic, party, or other park event. If you have a problem, call the bee removal hotline.
At times people want to know how to kill or remove the ground bees themselves. Removing bees in the ground can be dangerous, but actually pale in comparison to the knowledge and experience required to effectively remove bees in a structure. Here are some do's and don'ts to take into consideration when killing, exterminating or removing ground bees. As always there is no one right way. Typically the best time to kill bees in the ground, or to remove and relocate ground bees is very early morning or late in evening, just after sunset when all or most of the bees have returned and are in the ground. To kill the bees, people have dumped gasoline down or on the hole and then light it on fire, using gasoline to exterminate or kill the bees is not the most recommended solution. Using a dust or an aerosol insecticide that is labeled for the ground bee species is normally a better choice. After application have something ready to plug the hole, moist dirt is common.
Often ground bees have more than one hole or entrance, if you are trying to kill the wasps or bees in the ground, make sure you inspect prior to applying. The best time to observe ground bees is typically between 10 am and 3 pm when it's not raining and it's not extremely windy. (Ask a Question / Leave Feedback) Return to: How to get rid of bees

Julie McKie | There is a bee hive coming from the ground on the side of a hill behind my house. Not my property but just on the other side of the fence. The canyon is somewhat inaccessible but not impossible to get at. Are there any free services for removing them in my area? I just want them to be collected without hurting or killing them. | |||
Beekeeper: Hello Julie,
If the bees in the ground are JUST on the other side of your fence, you should be able to call the San Diego County Agricultural Dept to find out if they will come remove it for free since it is public property (I assume). They will come exterminate the bees, but I know you don't want them killed. That is the FREE option (possibly).
We can come out and give you a free estimate, but ultimately it will cost a little money to get it taken care of by a professional bee removal company; the good news is that we can take them out alive and give them to our beekeeper in Escondido.
Feel free to stop by the San Diego bee removal page and give us a call. | ||||
Joanna | Hi, | |||
Beekeeper: Joanna,
Do you have access to a digital camera? If so, I recommend taking a picture of the critters in question and uploading it to our what kind of bee page. There I can give you some feedback on what you might be able to identify it as.
Thanks. | ||||
Craig Pell | just moved into our new house and went to clear some rubbish/grass ect ect in corner of yard put shovel in to shovel it into a bin and realised it was a hive, we have children and a dog and would love to get rid of them fast what can i do please help | |||
Beekeeper: Craig,
I see that you're from across the pond... there are several pest control companies in Leeds that should be able to take care of your problem for you, and it sounds like you have wasps, which are very common to that area.
Feel free to get some more information about how to get rid of bees/wasps in the ground.
Cheers. | ||||
Eugene Cheeks | Do Honey Bees go in the ground? | |||
Beekeeper: Eugene, yes occasionally honeybees build nests in the ground but more commonly it is hornets that nest in the ground. These hornets are often called meat bees, sweat bees, or yellow jackets. Your welcome to include a picture for help with identification of the ground bees. Good luck. - john | ||||
