how do i bee proof a ceiling exhaust fan in a bathroom?

bees come into my apartment thru bathroom exhaust fan that is located in the ceiling. i am on the 2nd floor.

I have a bee problem. How can I locate the hive?

There are two large (8-9 feet tall), non-flowering bushes that adorn the outside stairway to my apartment building. There is one nearby tree, also. And there are flying insects EVERYWHERE! Mainly bumblebees and wasps (some yellow jackets)…although I see a few honey bees every once in a while. I can’t walk outside my front door without having to dodge something flying by. I remember a small problem last year, but I can’t remember if it lasted throughout the entire summer. But it wasn’t nearly as bad as it is now. They’re quite the kamikaze sort, and I’m afraid one will fly inside my home or inside my vehicle. How can I locate the hive and have someone take care of the problem?

HELP with bee problem.?

My apartment is surrounded by carpenter bees. I know they ususally don’t sting you but my sister is very phobic. Sometimes she will avoid going out for a whole week to avoid the bees. The managers at the complex will not do anything to help-we asked and got a rude-they wont sting you.

How can I overcome my phobia of bees, wasps, hornets, mud dobbers, etc? Please help!?

How can I overcome my phobia of bees, wasps, hornets, mud dobbers, etc? Please help! I know that by facing my fears head on will cure me of my phobia supposedly because I have seen that stuff on TV. My apartment building stairwell is infested with wasps, bees, and hornets. I mean they are everywhere! If I lokk outside I can see about 10 at any given time and I live on the top floor so I have to take the stairs to get anywhere – plus I have a 1 year old little boy and I can’t take him anywhere because I would have to carry him down the stairs to get to the car so I could leave and i know that one of us would get stung. Any suggestions?

The stairwell of my apartment building is infested with bees, wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets what can I do

The wooden stairwell that is leading up to my apartment is infested with boring bees, hornets, yellow jackets, and wasps. Last year we literally had to take a can of hornet spray and spray them just to get in and out of the car or apartment. I have a 1 year old son and I don’t want him to get stung. I am terrified of wasps hornets etc but my husband thinks that I am overreacting because I am afraid of them but the waps built nests in the stairwell and on the side of our building near the stairwell last year and I got stung coming up the stairs. They had to come and knock down the nests but it didn’t work they just kept coming back. I don’t know what to do. I have called and left a message with the apt office and they have not returned my call yet (that was like a week ago). My hubby won’t back me if I call the office again because he says if I leave the wasps, etc alone then they won’t bother me. Well, thats just ridiculous because I got stung and I wasn’t bothering them. Please help!
