I've used this technique in a small space in my attic that has bees. The Rodent bomb certainly kills them (lots of dead bodies!), but they seem to come back. Either other bees attracted to the honey, or the pupas are protected in the wax and later hatch is my guess. I think I need to do the smoke each week over four weeks to be sure I got all the new hachlings that were protected, and will try that next. I read elsewhere you really gotta remove the honey to prevent other bees from coming.
