I would like to leave them but they built it in a place we need to access and I am allergic to bee stings (level 3 currently) and I would rather not get stung.
I will try the bee box idea and see if I can get them to move elsewhere.
I like having them around because they do wonderful things to my flowers but they can not stay where they are.

Clearly this was another tragedy brought on by climate change, the gun lobby and Sarah Palin (I can see Portland from my plane).

Awful about the allergies! :(
People here *pay* for unwanted bees.
We hardly have any left.
I have some kind of nasty little jerks who hang out in my smokehouse.
They sort of look like tiny yellow jackets and they are the most vicious things ever.
All you have to do to ‘set them off’ is walk within 20 feet of the smoke house and they zoom out and nail you repeatedly.
I’m not allergic to stings like my mom is but I’m ‘sensitive’.
The stings swell up and I feel sick for several hours but that’s about it.
Still, it’s pretty miserable.

Not a word about the 50,000 or more aborted babies.Please post the link to the story about the 50,000 aborted babies being found in this parking lot as I did a complete Internet search and cannot find it.
Thanks.

I was pointing this out to a co-worker who turned out to be a libtard - so much for that conversation.

I had a neighbor who had a big swarm of bees in her yard. I don’t know how she made the contact, but the same day, someone who wanted the bees came and got them. You might google or ask a local garden place.

You really did a complete internet search? Really? Well I don't believe I said that there were 50,000 aborted babies in the parking lot? Sorry you wasted your time, but it was yours to waste. >br>
Have a nice day.

Oh so you were just completely off topic and wasting everyone’s time. Gotcha.
How about I start posting about bees on every abortion thread? How about if the anti-TV posters infest the NASCAR threads? Maybe the Religion Moderator should delete all non religion threads?
How about staying on topic?
Did you know that without bees on the planet Earth there will be no babies? No, of course not, you one trick ponies don’t know anything but your one trick.
