small bees in ground
janet expounded:
I noticed some small bees hovering around a spot at the edge of one of my garden areas. I tried spraying with wasp/hornet spray a couple of times, but they're still there. I'm allergic to bees and wasps, have to carry epi-pens with me at all times, and need to keep bees and wasps from nesting in my yard. I don't think there are not a lot of bees there yet, so it seems to me that now is the time to get rid of them. They're attracted to the flowers, and are doing what they're supposed to do. Either get rid of the flowers or learn to live with them. Also go back to your allergist and find out exactly what you're allergic to - no one is allergic to *all* bees, wasps and/or hornets, they're all different allergens. Many who think they're allergic to 'bees' are actually allergic to hornets (or yellowjackets, a form of hornet) and not to honeybees at all. Others are very allergic to honeybees. You need to know the difference. Next time you whip out that spray think of what the chemicals may be doing to you, too. -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |
