A device is described for cooling air and directing it onto a hive. As the hive cools, pollinators within have reduced mobility and are not able to move aggressively to attack the remover. A temperature sensor within the device allows the remover to identify when air is sufficiently cooled to reduce pollinator activity without being lethal. As the cold air is blowing, the remover uses attached sharp edges to cut down the hive. As the hive falls on the ground away from the blower where the temperature is warmer, pollinators regain their muscle movement, and can soon resume their normal activities. However, by then the remover is gone and is not attacked.

A bee displacement assembly provided as a mowing machine with a direct drive operated fan housed inside a housing formed with a funnel leading from an interior space of the housing and terminating in a mouth. The funnel tapers both horizontally and vertically to the mouth such that the mouth approximates a narrow, widened slot. Powering the motor turns the drive shaft that in turn operates the fan, creating a concentrated stream of air inside the fan housing that is channelized in the funnel and emitted out the mouth at an area of uncut vegetation immediately prior to cutting by a cutting deck of the mowing machine.

A method for displacing bees from vegetation subject to cutting by a mowing machine having a cutting deck and using a blower assembly affixed to the mowing machine. The assembly is provided as a fan or motorized blower affixed to a funnel. In operation, the fan or motorized blower creates then forces a concentrated air stream into the funnel that then directs the concentrated air stream to an area of vegetation immediately in front of the cutting deck, displacing bees in the area of vegetation prior to cutting. A funnel mouth is oriented so that the emitted air stream is at least as wide as the cutting deck, and multiple blower assemblies or larger funnel attachments may be used to accommodate larger cutting decks. The method includes selective actuation of the blower while operating the mowing machine.

A hand protection device for preventing bee stings includes a glove for positioning on a person's hand. The glove comprises bottom and top sections, which are positioned, upon donning of the glove, over a palm and a back of the hand, respectively, and over lower and upper portions of each finger, respectively. The top section comprises a medial layer positioned between an inner layer and an outer layer wherein the inner and outer layers comprise different materials. The inner layer is resiliently stretchable so that the inner layer and the bottom section conform to contours of the hand and frictionally engage the glove to the hand. The outer layer prevents a bee from contacting the medial layer and the medial layer prevents the bee's stinger from reaching the inner layer.

A Lawn mower Diverter/Bee Guard or accessory warning device for diverting and saving honeybees and other endangered insects. The device components include a plate for removably securing the warning device to the mower deck; a manner for removably connecting and securing the plate to the deck; a warning emitter; and a way for securing a warning emitter to the plate. Alternative mechanical designs and light, sound, electro-magnetic force, and spray devices are shown as other embodiments. The warning device alerts the pollinating bees of the oncoming mower so the bees can survive by flying away and averting their demise by the mower. Alternative devices for warning are sound, light, smoke, spray, and Electro Magnetic force/pulse generators placed with the mowers.
