    uninvited guests

    I am moving and have had to do the move myself with the assistance of some friends to save on $$$$. Over the last few weekends we would move a little each time. This weekend was supposed to be the last move. However some uninvited guests delayed that a little bit.



    Ever since I got attacked by a swarm of yellow jackets while at the top of a 40 ft ladder, I have had a rather severe phobia regarding bees/wasps etc. When we entered the house to start the last bit of cleaning we didn't notice these bad boys. Once I did though, yikes, it took everything I had not to run screaming like a little girl. Gawd, I hate these. I like the honey, but not the manufacturers.

    I feel your pain, having been stung in the face by the little monsters.

    Good Luck!

    Do you have beekeepers in Tucson?

    I think my heart pounding would be enough to wake them and make them swarm. Good luck!

    Wow, that is a great hive. You should call a bee keeper, there is sure to be a queen bee as they swarm with the queen bee when they move or split the hive.

    Think.....Bee Spray. We live across from an orchard. The bees are every where. Nesting in my truck, my wife's car and the mailbox. We also have a holly tree that attractrs bees. For the past several summers, the tree is alive with bees. Cant even enjoy the back yard. I have talked to bee people and they want to set up hives in my back yard. Yeah.....thats all I need, More bees. Die bees, Die.
