[Bee slide]: When we returned from a road trip to Amarillo this weekend, there were a dozen dead bees in the house and a couple of live ones at the windows. Over the next couple of days, we found a few more live bees, but we couldn't figure out where they were getting in. Late yesterday I heard a mass buzzing from our kitchen range hood. Apparently, a bee swam had taken up residence in the exhaust vent. I turned on the fan for a while, and a few bees appeared at the exhaust outlet on the roof, but the swarm as a whole didn't budge. I left a message for a bee removal service, left the fan on overnight, and went to bed.
This morning, the bees seem to have gotten the message. There's no more buzzing from the range hood. The swarm is hopefully someone else's problem by now.
Hillary bee damned.

Sounds more likely to be yellow-jackets. The range hood would provide them plenty of animal fat to feast on throughout the vent.
They can’t see at night and return to the swarm. They become docile. Have a brave soul wait at the vent outlet with a spot light and a couple of cans of wasp spray (MeCl brake cleaner is better, IMO) and turn on the fan after dark.
