Sorry for the blur I did not want to get to close.This was in my back yard last week. They came in and were hanging in the pepper tree and flying all around my house. I was going to leave them be (no pun intended) Then the drones started looking for a place for a hive under my eves where the vents are.I did not want a hive in my attic so I ran down to the hardware store and got a can of that wasp spray that shoots like 15 feet. I stood under the tree and emptied half the can before they got really pissed.(I did it shirtless so there,it rained down on me so not a good idea. I took a shower immediately) I ran like hell into the house to wait to see the results of my assault. They were dusted in no time,queen and all I'm sure. There are plenty of bee keepers around here so enough pollination occurs for the avocado groves, one less hive won't hurt. But I like bees, we do have killer bees here in S. California so you do need to be careful when you come across a wild hive. 758102.jpg

The squeltering heat of the south or the freezing cold of the tundra. Doesn't matter where you live, as long as you live in Him.

I know, I make up words.

i was told by a bee keeper to spray bees with soapy water. he says it disolves their outer covering and since it is not poison it won't make them mad, like crazy, as they ingest poison.

like the wicked witch of the west, they dissolve. i have used that around my hummingbird feeders and it seems to work.

We have had several swarms over the years.....that bee and wasp spray works just fine, never heard of the soapy water...

what ratio do you mix it at?

get one of those 16 oz sprayers at home depot and fill it to within a couple of inches below the top. fill the rest with some cheap liquid soap and see how that works.

we just spray the eves around the house with some year long stuff bout every 3 months and it keeps the bees and wasps away. Just spray around your house and they hive will usually move on in a day or two.

You can turn the sprinkler on and they will move on too.
