Ground bees

Thanks for the replies.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't be concerned and would just let them be. But the problem is that I am installing a new heating system and I have to work on that side of the house for several days to modify the chimney, and install a set of propane tanks and a gas line. The bees feel threatened when I am working anywhere near the area, and start to become more aggressive. I have already been stung a couple of times, and it makes working over there very difficult. If I can narrow the entrance down to just one or two earas, I will try the glass bowl idea.

Thanks for the advice and suggestions.

Close, but no cigar! SERIN is the nerve gas.

Closer, but still not quite there...

"Sarin"

OK, but I think I get SEVEN chances to get it right. :-) I know I can dismiss SARAN.

...

Only if you can do w/o the wrap... :)

No, that's "Sarin".

OK, I found out that I was right the first time. SERIN is a small yellow and grayish Old World finch (/Serinus serinus/ of the family Fringillidae) that is related to the canary, whose protection when endangered, is a fart that affects the nerves of the attacker. True. I read it on the internet. :-)

I had a wasp nest outside my front door a few years ago. I left it there to discourage solicitors, and it worked pretty well.

Sad part is they could of intentionally stuck their finger on the nest and got stung and probably be on the winning side of a lawsuit since you knew it was there.

He didn't say it had wasps in it.

That would be a tough one for them to win because they were not invited.

Not a lawyer, Bob

Then I'd buy their product, somehow manage to get it stuck in my ear, and sue them right back. ;-)

Final solution for me was Sevin dust. I found an old turkey baster laying around. Filled it about 1/2 way then stuck the tube into the nest hole and delivered the product. No activity after 48 hours.
