Another great way to get rid of bees naturally is to keep bee-repelling plants. Plants, like citronella, mint, and eucalyptus are all good options. If you don't want to add new plants to your yard, you can also try using citronella candles to ward off bees.

A key point is that swarms are temporary and usually leave on their own in a day or two. If a swarm has settled in an out-of-the-way place where the bees can be avoided and left undisturbed for a few days, one approach is to do nothing and hope it will go away on its own.

In most situations when a honey bee swarm is found on a tree, shrub or house you do not need to do anything. Swarms are temporary and the bees will move on if you patiently ignore them.
