nikita Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I understand you should'nt kill them but the only mission that bee was on was death and destruction. Death and destruction, who did it kill ,what did it destruct,dont be such a drama queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capulet Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I too hate wasps and bees. They make you look foolish to onlookers driving by in their cars when you start squirming. At least spring and the nice weather makes people generally a little less grumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica23 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I nearly trod on a bee in the park this afternoon and I swear to god it was the size of my foot. Made me jump, they're so loud and buzzy. *shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denlin Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Our caravan site owners had wasps nest last year and we only saw them when we had a barbecue. Little buggers never brought their own food and drink though:hihi::hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I nearly trod on a bee in the park this afternoon and I swear to god it was the size of my foot. Made me jump, they're so loud and buzzy. *shudder* It was probably coming out of hibernation. Bumble Bees live in the ground during winter. They start coming out at this time of year. They won't hurt you (unless you try to stroke one ... which I did when I was 3) [i remember that vividly!] Honey bees are usually placid and if you're more than about 6ft from the swarm (or their hive) then unless they are foraging in the immediate area, they will usually be more than 6ft above the ground. They won't sting you unless they absolutely have to. - They die when they sting. Wasps are usually placid during the early part of the year. (Unless you feed them.) In autumn, they gorge on over-ripe fruit (when they can get it) which ferments inside them. They're unpredictable buggers when they're drunk. If you've got a wasp problem, get a 2-litre PET pop bottle, cut the top off (about 3" below the spout), invert it and jam it into the bottle. Then put a few inches of paraffin in the bottle and leave it near the problem. The wasps will be attracted to the paraffin, go in through the neck, be overcome by the fumes and die. If you do find a swarm of honey bees, phone a local bee-keeper and (s)he'll probably come and take it away. If you find what look like bees (a bit bigger than honey bees) apparently chewing on the pointing between the bricks on your house - do something about them! They're masonry wasps and they do indeed chew out the pointing. They will try to get inside the cavity and nest there. They can do a lot of (expensive) damage. (As I found to my cost.)

INTERVIEWER Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I spent most of today with my love, in Barnsley. It was so pleasant to sit in a pub beer garden being bathed in the warm rays of the sun. Spring is here and all is well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
