Killer bees in east tennessee

[wa6mhz]

I had the old bat who lives behind me DEMAND I have a behive that formed in the wall of my garage REMOVED! That cost me $400. I didn't put the bees there. Then, a year later, she demanded I have the NEW behive that formed in an old paint can REMOVED!!! $200 for that one!!!! HEY, These aren't my @#@#@#@ BEES!!! And SHE is the one with a yard full of bright flowers!!! And she wonders why there are bees!

Very best tool against yellow jackets is just plain hairspray. And ol' can of it will do. One quick spritz with that and those buggers can't fly anymore! Fun to watch 'em try, tho'. Obviously, works on any flying insect.

No nasty poisons to worry about, either for you or the environment. No problem with other species being affected, and no danger from fire or anything else. And it works instantly.

Who is she that she can legally compel you to do that?

Have your lawyer send her a letter.

We've had Africanized "killer" bees here for years now. Turns out to be not such a big deal—just stay away from wild hives.

When we get them, we just scare them to death. Sneak up behind them and yell



BOO BEE

Any petro-based spray will work. WD-40, etc. Dissolves their wings.

Had a huge YJ nest under a RR tie in the front yard at a place in Anderson. Ran over it for years with the lawnmower with nary a problem. One day, the whole hive shot up out of the ground after hitting it with the lawnmower. RAN inside, left the mower running, watched them buzz around it the whole day until dark.
Took the gas can over and filled up the hole with about a gallon of gas and blew that sucker up. Some of the neighbors came by so we made a party out of it.
I pulled up the RR tie and found an extensive array of broodcones reaching back 5 feet into the ground past the RR tie. More Gas!
