I am seeing bumblebees squeezing in through the trim along the roofline
into the attic. There seems to be some residue, possibly honey,
dripping from the openings. Of course I am not happy about this and
need to know what should be done.

I went to Lowe's to look for some sort of bee spray like the wasp and
hornet killer stuff but they didn't have anything specifically made for
bees. What do you suggest?

I was reading a bit on the Internet about it but all the material was
about honey bees and using some sort of dust. I guess you are supposed
to get the hive and remains out too. I'm starting to get discouraged
so if there is anyone with experience please let me know what you did.

Big problem where I live with carpenter bees, similar in size to bumblebees.
The stuff that's dripping is a residue of bee crap mixed with sawdust. The
wasp and hornet spray knocks them out. I've also used anything around the
house that is petroleum based. Carburetor cleaner, WD-40, etc. If they made
holes in the trim, fill with Liquid Nails but only after you've made sure
you've killed the bees. Otherwise, they will bore deeper and come out
somewhere else. Good information he
