As a stab bee, only a few types, such as hornets and wasps, must be careful.
These bee societies consist of queen bees, male bees, and working bees, and attack external enemies to protect their nests.
Other bees have needles, but will not stabb unless they are grabbed with bare hands.
With the development of residential land in forests, bees often build nests in familiar places.
It is important to know the behavior of bees so that they do not suffer damage.

Nests are built in various places, such as under the eaves, tree branches, attic, door pockets, and soil.
Bees attack if they carelessly approach the nest, touch the nest, or give vibration.
When pruning trees, make sure that there are no beehives.
If you are attacked, lower your posture and leave it as soon as possible.
When hiking, don't go on anything other than mountain trails.
Also, wear a hat in dark clothing, as black objects are more susceptible to attack.
When it gets cold, it stops working and disappears in winter.
Beehives are only one year and do not use the same nest in the following year.

The hornet's nest from April to July is about 7 cm in diameter and looks like a tokri or a single vase over the size of the nest.
The queen bee is nesting and spawning.
When the size of the nest is about 10 cm in diameter, the first working bee begins to emerge. By that time, the shape of the nest was round like a baseball ball.

Check the position of the nest.
I'll clean up something that would disturb the work.

Prepare a spray insecticide for bees only or for flies and mosquitoes.

Let's wear a hat with long sleeves and long pants.
Prepare gloves and boots and wrap a towel around your neck.
Avoid black-colored clothes and hats.

It takes place from evening to night.
Make sure there is no traffic.
Investigate the wind direction, approach the nest from the wind, and spray the insecticide for a few seconds.
If you inject from just below the nest, bees will fall, so do not enter directly below.
When using a flashlight, do not shed light on the nest.

Make sure there are no bees in the nest.
Don't touch the fallen bee with bare hands.
※If it is difficult to use insecticide, such as nests under eaves or in overgrown trees, we can lend you special equipment (pole-shaped injection equipment).

If you are unable to determine whether hornets or paper wasps yourself, you can also consult "[Kohoku Ward Limited] Consultation on Beehives" (outside site). We will determine the type of bee from the photos of the beehive posted and answer how to deal with it.
Please note that it may not be possible to judge depending on the condition of the image. If you cannot judge, we will reply to you to shoot again or call directly.

If a bee bites, quickly suck out the poison and cool it.
