To coincide with the ANTS!!! thread, I'd like to bring up bees. I have a massive oak in the front yard, and within its ridiculously large root structure i know of at least 3 nests of ground bees. One is yellowjackets, confirmed that when i went to the hospital (allergic) and there was a dead one in the collar of my shirt.
One more is little yellow guys, although i don't think they are yellowjackets, maybe paper wasps.
The third are the big, fat black ones, look like carpenter bees, but i have seen no evidence of boring into the wood structures above ground, so who knows.
I need to kill them, no options, as i'm allergic and i still need to mow. suggestions? Perhaps this should be in the anything that's not ponds threads, cuz there's no BOW involved.
