CO2 will cause bees to go to sleep. They use it down in S.A. to work the hives of AHB . Give them a dose and they sleep for about 5 min or so.i was told by a customer that a bee remover in Arizona used gas to sedate bees and remove them just wondering if anyone ever heard of using compresed gas to calm or sedate bees
i have no idea. nitrous No2 would be explosive!!!What gas was used?
I thought CO2 kills them. I saw somewhere on the interwebs a "bee removal" company that kills them with CO2 gas and then removes the comb. Their big sales pitch was that they kill the bees without leaving behind dangerous pesticides that kill bees :scratch:CO2 will cause bees to go to sleep.

Ammonium nitrate can knock out lots of things. If inhaled, it can knock out a person. It can knock out buildings, remember the Murrah Federal Building. It can knock out plants if too much is used on them.Burning ammonium nitrate fertilizer in your smoker knocks out bees for about five minutes.

Really??? I thought firecrackers explode. How many teaspoons are in a firecracker. Or better yet, how many firecrackers would you have to have to have a teaspoon.Way overblown comment. It is the common fuel for fireworks. A few teaspoons will never explode..
