Getting rid of bee's

[skip68]

If you suck them up in a shop vac, does that kill them, or do you just wind up with a shop vac full of mad bees?

I bet you could have a lot of fun with a vac-o-bees.   

Maybe you should hook up one of those ol' "Flow-Bee" haircut things to it!  Chop the little bastards up!!!

Not that this applys to your circumstance, but several years ago, I noticed a hive in my chimmney. After local bee keepers showed no interest and spray killers just made them mad, I decided to start a fire (thought was to smoke em out) it worked great...they all started popping like popcorn and 100s fell dead to my hearth, which I promptly vacumned up. Let me tell you, starting a fire in Fresno in July was wanting to get rid of those pests bad!

It stuns the the hell out of them. I turn on the vac and watch the bees
come out to defend the nest. As soon as they get near the nozzle, the
party's over for 'em. Keep the vac running until the action stops. It takes 
20 minutes or so. When I'm done, I open the lid to the vac and unload
a can of wasp & hornet spray on them and close the lid. Give them
another 20 minutes and dump them in a garbage bag.

It works great!

If they are bumble bees...I do not believe they sting...because of no stingers......most places down here are trying to find out what happened to all the bees around here...something is killing them off here, at least that's what I have heard....

I use a shop vac on them. Tape the nozzle near their hole,
turn on the vac and grab a beer. It's big fun!

  That's a good one

As far as not stinging...
