    Bumble bees in a section wood stack. Sevin dust for them this weekend. Took the bald face hornets out couple weeks back. Couple yellow jacket nests one in the lamp pole one under the siding on garage- I don't take prisoners.

    Ran into some ground bees a few years ago at the dog's "bathroom." Got stung a couple times (me and the dog) and went back with a shop vac half filled with soapy water. Left it running at the hole overnight with the nozzle right in front of the hole... In the morning, had a tank full of dead bees and a nice spot for the dog to do her business.

    They're bad here this year as well. I got nailed 4 times so far. They're going under my shed ramp.
