unwanted bees

gghertz
16 years ago

A swarm of bees settled in my 3 foot tall palm tree. Its next to the walk way to the house and I dont know how to get them to leave. Will they possibly stay there or is this a temporary thing and they will probably be moving on to a better location? Is there something I can do to get them to leave? Should I turn srinklers on during the day?

Thanks Greg
