Originally posted by Sicilian SausageTry using orthoboric acid... it's an undetectable form of boric acid. Insects will go out of their way to avoid boric acid unless you are able to mask its odor. It's used to kill ants and cockroaches, and only a handful of bees would need to be exposed to it for the chemical to reach the queen.
So, how do I keep getting tham in my flat? I don't have any windows open and I haven't answered the door to any. How on Earth do they get in?
I've never used it to kill a bees nest because it takes at least a week to do the job... in the meantime the little buggers might act like they've lost their little minds, running around in circles and not acting at all like they usually do. So if you don't mind experimenting to see what murderous crazy-ass bees act like for the better part of a week, that just might be your best bet.
I don't know what the little buggers might do to you and your neighbors before they all kick the bucket, but I guarantee it will do the job... eventually. Like I said I've never tried it on a bees nest, so I have no idea what (if any) unintended consequences there may be.

Never!
Many moons ago we lived in a run down place for a few months, and there was a gaping hole in the corner of our bathroom... you couldn't miss it. The bathroom had one of those big bathtubs that stood on four legs, and it had no overflow drain if the water came up too high. Our apartment was on the third floor. There were other apartments on the second floor and the entire first floor was a restaurant. I decided we should find somewhere else to live before getting kicked out of there.

And by the way, all bees (with the exception of drones) are female, so you've really done it this time mister!

You ever wonder what else may be lurking behind the walls of that old house?
Sleep well tonight...
