What are the best ways to get rid of bees?

Professional removal -- with head to toe personal protective equipment -- is the way to get rid of bees without killing them. An individual may have the removal done on her/his own after completing a Master Beekeeper Volunteer Training Program or through professional apiarists. A professional beekeeper association or a state extension office will be starting points since there are individuals and organizations that will do the removal for free or travel expense coverage.
