*********************************************

I engage in an activity where we occasionally (couple of times in the late summer months) disturb ‘ground bee’ nests (also called yellow jackets). We use the wasp/hornet spray to knock the nests out from a distance because the bees are really, really mad & you can’t get very close at that point. The only problem is that the bees away from the nests gallivanting around the countryside are some kind of pi$$ed off when they come back to the nest & find it destroyed! The spray smells terrible and you definitely want to avoid breathing any fumes.
