Bees have taken up residence in an asparagus ridge. I think they have
eaten most of the asparagus - any idea how to get rid of them? TIA

The damage is very unlikely to be due to bees. The two main culprits
would be slugs or the asparagus beetle. Both adult and larval forms of
the beetle munch away at the foliage and the stems - this should help
you identify and deal with them - http://tinyurl.com/5h5xof
