In order to make a further confirmation about the assignments of the excited bottom and bottom strange mesons $B_{1}(5721)$, $B_{2}^{*}(5747)$, $B_{s1}(5830)$, $B_{s2}^{*}(5840)$ and meanwhile identify the possible assignments of $B_{J}(5840)$, $B_{J}(5970)$, we study the strong decays of these states with the $^{3}P_{0}$ decay model. Our analysis support $B_{1}(5721)$ and $B_{2}^{*}(5747)$ to be the $1P_{1}$ and $1^{3}P_{2}$ assignments and the $B_{s1}(5830)$, $B_{s2}^{*}(5840)$ to be the strange partner of $B_{1}(5721)$ and $B_{2}^{*}(5747)$. Besides, we tentatively identify the recently observed $B_{J}(5840)$, $B_{J}(5970)$ as the $2^{3}S_{1}$ and $1^{3}D_{3}$ states, respectively. It is noticed that this conclusion needs further confirmation by measuring the decay channel to $Bpi$ of $B_{J}(5840)$ and $B_{J}(5970)$ in experiments.
