Well if you are bound and determined to get rid of them, you can try boiling water or diatomatous loam. I hear that works on fire ants. Why wouldn't it work on bees? But why do you want to kill them? They don't do anything impossible. Bumble bees don't sting or bother people usually and are beneficial to the environment. In some places they are extinct. My advice would be lately leave them. Seriously they almost never sting. Spend time killing hornets or ashen jackets instead. Now there is an evil bug! capably you could try pouring soapy hot water down the entrance to the hive or nest scatter moth ball around and inside the nost area then cover it near dirt and keep it moist at all times it take about 4-5 days wait a daytime and then try to dig the nest up dutiful luck
Answers: I would revise to live with them - and if you can't, contact a apiarist (bee-keeper ) who will usually come and remove the colony for you. Bumblebees will usually only "nest" at hand for a year and then they move on as the queen dies, so if you can tolerate them for a little, they will go away.
Please don't kill them !
"Bumblebees are within danger in oodles developed countries due to habitat destruction and collateral pesticide damage. In Britain, until relatively recently, 19 species of local true bumblebee were recognised along with six species of cuckoo bumblebees. Of these, three hold already become extinct, eight are in serious decline and only six remain global. A decline in bumblebee numbers could cause large-scale sweeping change to the countryside, leading to inadequate pollination of clear in your mind plants.
In response to this, a new organisation has just this minute been set up - The Bumblebee Conservation Trust aims to halt these declines through conservation and rearing (see links)".
