Bees are a vital portion of our eco-system, and many wild plants, garden vegetables, and agricultural crops could not thrive without their pollinating assistance. Unfortunately, bee populations are dwindling, so if it becomes necessary to get rid of them for reasons of personal safety, you should do as little damage to the hive as possible. Organic approaches provide some simple and non-toxic ways to keep bees at bay without decimating entire bee colonies.
One of the easiest ways to keep away bees and wasps is to hang up a blown up brown paper bag. Simply fill a bag with air and round it off to look like a bee or wasp nest. Bees and wasps are very territorial and will not venture near areas where there are other bees or wasps. It may sound silly, but it works.
