Can anyone tell me how to safely get rid of a bees nest in the
ground? So far I've taken a hose and left it going for a bit right
inside the nest. That seemed to cut down on some of them. I want to
make SURE they don't come back.
Winter is coming up so I'm figuring that after the first frost I can
maybe dig the area up and remove the nest or something?
Can anyone suggest anything to kill them or make sure they don't
return without dumping chemicals into the ground? It's right in the
garden that we're hoping to bring back to life. (Previous owners let
it go without tending for 5 years and likely never noticed the bees.)


If your critters are yellow jackets, they can be very dangerous.


Only
stinging insects that pursue victim.


Manifestly not true. For example, Africanized bees will pursue up to 300
yards.


Oops! Forgot about those, and we have them in Florida now. Any others?
