Honey bees nesting in garden
In article ,
Tumbleweed wrote: "s guy" wrote in message ... It seems like we have some honey bees nesting in our garden. They have made a little hole in the soil and are going in and out quite frequently. Are they OK to keep where they are as we have 2 small children My mother has literally hundreds of holes in her (sandy) frint lawn in which some sort of bee lives. Looks like just a few (maybe one) per hole though. Have you got lost of holes and many bees, or are many bees really living in just one hole? Anyway, she hasnt been stung in the past 20 years despite walking over the lawn every day several times. You probably have something similar and are at similar risk, ie slim to none. BTW, I very much doubt they are honey bees. We have them, we go barefoot all summer, and have been stung at most 7 times in 25 years (that's for 4 people). In every case, because we trod on one - and then it happened only when we let the white clover flower. My sympathy was with the bees, except for my wife who reacts badly. Yes, it really is a mean time between being stung of decades, even if you take a high risk. VERY rarely an issue. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
