I have some lovely carpenter bees on my purple cone flowers. They are so
friendly that I can actually touch them and they don't move (no they are not
dead). However I also have an old drain pipe that goes into the ground that
a bunch of yellow jackets have made a nest. Anytime I go near them, a few
come out to check me out. I accidently sprayed some water and a whole swarm
came out (I went in the house). Any experts out there know what will kill
them? Will wasp spray work on yellow jackets? I don't want to spray
something and make them mad again. J

Jim,
STOP Picking on the bees :P ....they are easy to get around once you know
they are there. Before going in to find the cache stop and watch for a
little bit and you will see where they are going in and out. Just stay away
from the hole and they usually leave you alone. Dang things hurt though I
remember from my surveying days

I love to cache, everybody know that, but bee very careful if you do "Love
to Cache" in Love Park. While Sarah, Blue & I were looking for the cache, I
got into some ground bees near the cache and got stung about 30 times. I
guess I'm not allergic to them, I'm doing ok. I think they were about 10'
inside the tree line, but I'm not going back to take measurements. And we
never did find the cache either. I hope the bees weren't the bugs that JC
Geo dropped into the cache yesterday.
