If you are asking are you allowed to kill bees in California, the short answer is that it depends on the bee, the location, and the method you use.

When bees aren’t coming out of hive, the problem is often simple at first, such as cool weather, a crowded entrance, or a temporary lull in foraging.

Honey bees are familiar in the United States, yet the statement bees aren’t native to America is true in an important way: the common honey bee you see in hives and gardens is an introduced species, while North America already has thousands of its own native bee species.
