Our woodpecker has tore up our tree outside the front door. Now we have massive bees. What do we do?

I have three children and I am allergic to bees, so you can see my concern. The tree will probably have to come down, but I need to know how to rid the property of the annoying woodpecker.

He is also pecking away at our electric pole in the back. It is a new pole, but the wasps are taking it over. Any suggestions?

if they are the huge fat black bees they are carpenter bees and bee keepers will not want them. the good news about carpenter bees is they are relatively passive they just sort of hover there. I am allergic to bees also and we had an infestation in our garage roof. They drill perfect little holes in the wood, these holes can be filled with carpenter glue & dowel pieces. But if it is an infestation in a tree, you will probably have to remove the tree.

This website has some good iedas to deter the woodpecker from your property

Look for a bee keeper in your area. Sometimes they will come and get the bees for free to build onto their hives. If that doesn't work you will have to contact an exterminator. Then get someone to cut the tree out and remove it.

*Apparently some of these people don't know what its like to be allergic to bee's.

Pellet gun and a shovel.

Your tree was on it's way out that is why the Woodpecker was there to eat all the "insects"

You need to find someone to come and get rid of the bees, not sure if you are near farmland but some farmers have hives and might be able to take them off you hands

Well if the tree is removed why would the woodpecker want to stay? If the tree isn't gonna fall on your house just leave it, the bees, and the woodpecker alone. Annoying human.
