What would you do? It appears to be a good sized colony of honey
bees. They're living in the north wall of the TV room. There's bound to be honey (OBFood) in there, but getting to it will mean ripping out part of the wall. -- modom "Southern barbecue is a proud thoroughbred whose bloodlines are easily traced.

Smoke is the only thing that will drive them out. Truly. And yes, if you want the honey, you will have to tear a section of wall out. It was worth it iirc. ;-) I was about 8. -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails. "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a Son of a bitch" -- Jack Nicholson |

Call a professional exterminator in your area. Honey is not that expensive in a quantity for home consumption. |

All the suggestions of calling beekeepers, local authorities, etc, proved fruitless, and after a long search for a solution, she was left with the alternative of having an exterminator come in, open the wall and get rid of it for her. She had to have the sheetrock redone there. She was not pleased and would have preferred they go to a nice hive in the country. I hope your problem ends more sweetly than hers. Boron |

I know the county animal control guys and they said I couldn't gas and burn them out because they were protected. I forget how I got rid of them.

Probably a good idea to put a few bee boxes outside the wall in the yard and go into the biz. ![]() Ages ago, a friend and I were drinking Jack Daniels outside on Mt. Diablo, California and a bee landed on my lip. I froze and waited for it to fly away. Instead, it began to walk into one of my nostrils!!! I forced a sneeze and ran as fast as I could!!! Andy |

I forget how I got rid of them. I think the county control guys are full of it. Here's a page of CA's protected insects. http://essig.berkeley.edu/endins/hymenop.htm Note the Antioch Mutillid Wasp. But, it's so rare I couldn't even find a picture of it. The most common burrowing yellow jacket in CA is so ridiculously comman, they're a freakin' menace and you can kill them by the millions with no legal repercussions or even making a dent. The coastal ranges, like around Mt Diablo, are lousy with them and the best you can do is outsmart 'em. I went camping once out Mines Rd down by Mt Hamilton and there were so many we couldn't eat our meal. There'd be 2 of them on your spoon before it reached your mouth. We finally figured out they loved fresh fruit above all else, despite the local term of "meat bees". So, we set out a plate of fresh fruit salad about 40-50 feet away as a decoy. They swarmed that stuff like locust and, except for the occasional retard, they left us alone to eat in peace. nb |

Those are the guys that our local extension says to wait until sundown, and spray the living daylights out of the nest. They are pollinators, but too close to human habitation, you are allowed to exterminate if you can't move em any other way. maxine in ri |

Over time, his bees are getting progressively testy. But the bottom line is they are still manageable, still disease and mite tolerant and still making lots of honey. Basically, what we want are bees that are enough below the threshold of testiness that we can stand them." Heh... who can actually stand them? If you're out walking around and you stumble on a nest of these KILLER bees, they can still kill you. But in all good spirit I offer you John Belushi portraying the killer bee, which didn't quite show up the way people expected. But then again, the land shark didn't, either. LOL Jill |

I have no more fear of them than bumblebees. Big orange legged black wasps in my neck of the desert making beelines somewhere or the other in search of tarantulas. I go out of my way to seek and destroy yellow jacket structures in my yard. A grandkid on a hot day in midsummer in the wrong place isn't something I wish to experience. The damned things have nailed me for absolutely no other reason than the heat of the day from a hidden nest while I was mowing the lawn more than once. Yellow jackets make a bee sting feel like a tickle to me. I'm not allergic to either. leo -- <http://web0.greatbasin.net/~leo/> |

We are nearing the end of the month and a half season when the male tarantulas check for mates and cross the highway. It's the only time to really see and catch them without being an entomologist. I prefer tarantulas too. I tend to see far more tarantulas than tarantula hawks. The population of both is stable here in Northern Nevada. leo -- <http://web0.greatbasin.net/~leo/> |

On "Dirty Jobs," Mike Rowe "helped" out a beekeeper get a huge hive out of an older building - maybe a church?
