How are bees getting into my house?

I’m very sorry to hear that you’ve got a bee problem. Bees can be a serious issue, especially if you’re allergic. I understand why you want to figure out how bees are getting into your house.
Unfortunately, bees are pretty good at getting inside houses. The warmth makes your home an attractive place for them to nest. They can sneak in under your doors, down your chimney, or even small cracks in your exterior walls.
Bees are attracted to places that smell like honey. The bad news is that after you have had one beehive in your house, bees will be able to smell trace hints of honey for a long time.

- Through small holes in your exterior woodwork such as window frames and trim
- Through attic vents
- By flying down your chimney
- Through cracks in the exterior walls of your house—once they’re inside your walls, they can reach most areas of your house
