All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.
We do not know any evidence indicating that there is a special significance for bees entering in houses.
As regards what a person may do, if he can benefit from it without harming the members of the house, then this will be fine. Bees are the source of honey in which Allaah The Almighty put healing for people. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is healing for people.} [Quran 16:69]
However, if it is feared that the bees will be harmful, then one can drive them away from the house by the usual methods, such as setting fire and using its smoke, or any other lawful means.
Nonetheless, it is not permissible to kill the bees without necessity because killing them is prohibited as we previously clarified in Fatwa 84945.
Allaah Knows best.
