I don't recommend that you kill the bees, it's better to remove the fallen and rotten fruit to a location where they will be attracted away form your tree.


Bees are pollinators and are the reason you have fruit (also birds)How do i kill bees that at my fruit tree-especially the rotten fruit on the ground?
Wait until after dark when the bees and wasps are back and the nest and pick up all the fallen fruit and pull down the half eaten fruit in the tree. It may take several days to get this done, pick up first night, second night pull the fruit out of the tree. For heavens sake wear protective clothing including heavy shoes just in case you find a wasp such as near dusk. You may still encounter some fruit eating beetles that may startle you, but they don't bite or sting. I can't think of a pesticide that is justified here and the nontoxic do better actually hitting the pest in question......not suitable. Oh, I guess spraying an especially rich solution of Dawn dishwashing detergent and water over the tree and ground wouldn't harm anything, it you remember to rinse it off afterwards.
You need those bees if you want to keep getting fruit from the tree. They have to pollinate it.
There's no need to kill them, just get rid of the fruit. If they're not bothering the fruit that's still on the tree, you don't have to worry about harvesting it. But certainly pick up the fallen stuff they're feeding off of. If you take away that food source, they'll leave on their own.


What we did with the apple tree in the yard at our old apartment was took a dog pooper-scooper and used it to pick up fallen apples. We also used a paper bag that stood up and open on its own. That way we didn't have to touch the fruit with the bees in it, and we could make an easier escape if they got thick.
PLEASE DON';T KILL THEM!!! There is a bee shortage nation wide. Our farmers desparately need them. Call a local bee keeper to come and take them away or give you advice.
Don't kill the bees. They're one of the most beneficial insects there are and all the pesticides being used are causing them to disappear. Without bees there would be a serious food shortage in the world. We depend on them to pollinate our crops.





Remove their food source and they'll go somewhere else. Keep the fruit picked up off the ground.
don't kill them let them be, follow them to their tree and use smoke to stun them and get some honey.
