Today is (was) December 23. For the past week or so, I’ve been finding honey bees outside my front door after sunset. I’m in the Phoenix metro area, so it’s not freezing cold, but cool enough to kill these poor guys. I never see them during the day and I have nothing on or around my door to attract them. I thought bees didn’t fly at night, but apparently they do. Anyway, I was out on my front patio until an hour after sunset tonight – no bees. I went out about 3 hours later and there were five bees. I just went out again and there are eight. (Seven are dead.) I’ve looked at these carefully – they are normal honey bees, not ground-dwellers. Any ideas why? I’m mostly just curious, but I’d also like to eliminate them so I can go out barefoot again!

How do we get rid of Honey Bees that took over my brothers house?
