A couple of days ago I noticed there was some bees in my house and more and more came so I took a look outside around my house and noticed there was a swarm of bees on the top of they Chimney opening outside. Would firing up the fire place to make smoke drive them away for good? or will it drive them away for a while? or will it not work at all?
Firing it up might take care of it.
I have one caution though. Is the chimney blocked by the bees yet? Could fill you home up with smoke.
Try the fire, but don’t start out with a full load of wood and kindling. Just light newspaper pages one at a time to be sure the flue is going to draft before you commit to a larger fire.
G’luck!
Call a Bug Insepector They will Verify ur chimney and get all those those pesky bees away

Light a fire and the smoke will drive them out. Be sure you have the opening to the room closed secuely. "Smoking" the bees is the humane way to get rid of them.

We had 221 bee hives on our farm and when we had top swarm to capture we used the "Smokers" to get them into a new hiove.
Get that fire going right away! Yes, a fire in the stove or fireplace would drive them off. And keep it going for a while so the entire flu heats up. Then start a small fire every day for several days to keep them away. you could, as others advise, hire a pest control, but why waste the money when you can do it yourself!
