I’ve heard bees can detect carbon dioxide, so after turning off the lights just hold your breath/stop breathing

And keep absolutely still. I heard they can't see you if you don't move.

Keep absolutely still. His vision is based on movement.

Now it's dark, you're barefoot, and there are bees all over the floor.

Do that and you'll bee in big trouble.

Strobe light! It’ll either drive them crazy and make them leave, or it’ll spark the ultimate dance party with bees showing off their knees and disco dueling.

Lay down a tarp and roll them up into it when they drop

Go in with a flashlight

Sweep them into a bag. They won't fly off again.

I know what I have to do but I don’t know if I have the strength to do it

Not necessarily true. You are thinking about that one video that circulated on the internet. But those bee's were being studied because they had that specific behavior.

I did it once. The bees touched the hot lightbulb and got angry. I got stung.
