Tom found the nest the hard way this past Saturday, but since we had been gone for the week before that, we aren't sure how long the nest has been there. Tom watched the wasps flying into the nest yesterday afternoon and said there was one flying in about every two seconds. He is guessing at a few dozen, but there could be more than one nest. I say there are way too damn many of them. Does that help you on the count? I could hear them this morning while standing about 10 feet from where we think the hole is. It was just a constant hum. As I was standing there listening, a hummingbird fly right past my head and scared the crap out of me. Who's jumpy? Will any kind of detergent work, or do they dislike a certain brand more than others?
You want a laugh? I just happen to be listening to the book "The Secret Life of Bees" right now. Go figure! Thanks for the info. Boop How long have the bees been there? Are we talking dozens of bees or hundreds? Whatever measure you take, do it around midnight and not during the day. You indicate that these bees are in the ground. Put detergent into boiling water and pour that on the hole. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
