Substances that provide immediate bee deterrence create a zone of avoidance, triggering an instinctive response that compels the insects to move away from the treated area. An example would be applying a concentrated essential oil solution directly to a bee’s flight path near a doorway.
The value of quick bee management lies in preventing stings, especially for individuals with allergies, and maintaining a safe and comfortable environment in residential or commercial settings. Historically, smoke has been employed for this purpose, though modern methods offer more targeted and convenient applications.
