We've had bee hives twice and hire an exterminator. The industrious little buggers can build a nest the size of Mt. Everest in a couple of weeks (well, maybe three). If you seal up the hole, they'll just get into the house another way. You really have to kill the bees and get the hive out of there. Then seal up the hole for a little while so that the " survivors " don't start over again there. Some species are very mean and ornery. The last time we had them (it was a kind of wasp), they stung me on the foot, and my baby daughter on her forehead. The exterminator was even stung a couple of times--the first time ever, he said.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2000 Report Share Posted March 12, 2000 hi jany. I was wondering if there is a natural solution to this altho they do sound determined! I looked bees up in Ann Worwood's book " The Complete Book of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy " & this is her suggestion: ******* to make bees take to a new hive, blend the following eo's together in a tbsp of water soak a piece of material in this and use it to rub the inside walls of the hive. melissa eo is also good. all these eo's can be used on their own. hyssop 1 drop fennel 1 drop thyme 1 drop ******* i wonder if you could put this on the outside of your house as well. it may sound simplistic but it's worth a shot. i've tried the remedy for ants & it worked ! so why not bees? good luck! cathryn. ---------- >From: onelist >onelist >Subject: Digest Number 179 >Date: Sun, Mar 12, 2000, 6:35 AM > > In a message dated 3/11/00 12:40:41 PM Eastern Standard Time, jany@... > writes: > > << I have bees trying to make a nest in the exhaust vent of my > stove!

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2001 Report Share Posted May 12, 2001 My hubbie and I are beekeepers and wouldn't think of exploiting bees. We are their caretakers and do everything we can to help them survive. There aren't any wild bees in our area, the mites killed them all. We don't take away all their honey in the fall, only the excess that they don't need to survive the winter. Our bees are happily buzzing away collecting nectar from one of the best locust tree and wild cherry tree blooms I've seen in years. Those blooms make the most delicious honey!

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 Dennis I certainly hope that knee does get better. They are tricky things to heal. Do bees create hives or holes in the ground? Really ? Yikes. [ ] Bees Hi Diane I was told to dump latex paint down the bee hole. Do this very early in the AM - while it is still dark and cool and they are all still in the hole. They probably won't be back to the same place. The skunks dig up ground bee nests here in the fall and eat the larvae. I wouldn't recommend doing that. :-) I am having an MRI on my knee this Thursday. Something happened to it a week ago and I couldn't put any weight on it for two days. Dr said it might be a tear in the cartilage - I hope not. Hi everyone. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Funny you should say that Dennis cause I had my husband who stopped by today go out and dig the spot up and there was nothing there.... Are you telling me they will come back in another spot???? I have never seen this before here in N.J. Good luck with your MRI Dennis.... I will be praying it isn't anything serious. Keep me informed.... ;o Angel Hugs, Diane May Rainbow Dreams Color Your World With Love, Hope, Peace & Unity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 They don't come back - at least I have never seen them in the same place the next year. Some must overwinter though and start new colonies. I don't know much about bees but watched a show about killer bees and am glad they don't like cold. It would be best for the environment if you don't use pesticides and if you do please use according to the label. Remember bees are necessary to pollinate most of our flowers and fruit trees.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Thanks - I'm hoping it is muscular. Yes, some make ground nests and we kind of keep an eye out during the late summer.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Ouch! I have very bad luck with stings, I've been stung dozens of times. Though not lately. Once I had my hand stuck out the window while riding in a car and at 60 miles an hour smacked a bee in mid-air. The only thing left of the bee was it's stinger hanging out of the meat of my hand. -dz- --- WILLIAM A WALTKE <kbwaltke@...> wrote: > I can't imagine.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 A long time ago I took a drink from my can of beer and there was a bee in the can. It stung me in the tongue. I spit it out and went to the mirror and pulled the stinger out. I was real scared that my throat would swell up and I would die but it didn't so I drank the rest of the beer. :-) Dennis Re: [ ] Bees I stepped on one once.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 A real trooper!! That is one of the things that can happen if you are particularly allergic to bee stings. I know I have a cousin that has to wear a thing around her neck that tells what to do in the event she gets stung. Lucky I'm not that allergic or I would've been dead long ago! -dz- --- Dennis <dhuber@...> wrote: > A long time ago I took a drink from my can of beer > and there was a bee in the can.
