How do you normally handle bees?

[Fernsdaddy]

For those who are fearful of bees you might want to add a few Mason bees to your garden, they don't sting you and if they do it more like a mosquito bite than your average bee sting. Its some thing the whole family can do together building a bee house and watching them build their nest. I'm getting ready to put out the 2 houses that I made for them last year, I'll hang the out around the last week in April so the can hatch and the young bees have time to grow before flying off to play in your garden.

Males are harmless, Females are warriors.

are we talking, honey bees or yellow jackets or hornets, or wasps, or bumble bees? Simply saying bee's is unclear. So in general. All the ones I said with the exception of the honey bees I will work on finding their nest and burn them out. I might just leave the bumble bee alone as usually the nest is not big. In any event I am not scared of the honey bee, or the bumble bee, but give both respect .

Bees are peaceful creatures here.

Only hornets can be dangerous. Sometimes huge hornets arrive in the garden. They choose a tree and begin to gnaw it around in a circle. After that, the tree may dry out. It is very difficult to get rid of them. In addition, hornets behave aggressively. A flock of hornets buzzing over a tree from early morning until late at night.

Some hornet flies to the neighbors. Once we tied to a tree plastic bottles with beer and syrup. We expected the hornets to drown and reduce the population. But at first the hornets stopped coming to the neighbors. All came to us for free beer. Neighbors rejoiced, of course.

But in a few days we threw out a lot of bottles with hornets. Hornets really became smaller and they stopped coming.
Although the top of the tree still fell on me when the wind blew.

And who could blame them?

Well, it worked like free cheese in a mousetrap. Sometimes it's better to rely on yourself.

ground nesting yellow jackets seem to be the worst in our area-run over an unseen nest with the mower and your in for trouble. Sevin powder, dusted at night at the entry usually vanishes them.
