My shed is being eaten by bees. How do you stop them? They have eaten right
through the paint. Is there something that you can add to the paint or anything
else to stop them?


Fire, and lots of it!

Oh, sorry fire is my answer for everything, car troubles, bills, etc.

I've been told, there are a number of powers on the market. You squirt
them into the holes, and the power attaches it self to teh bees and
kill them. With time, the bees already there, and the ones trying to
get in will drop down. This will allow you to reseal all the holes
and paint again.

In the future, keep an eye on the shed, as soon as you see one whole
you squirt it.

I've once heard this advice, make a fake whole and keep it filled with
the powder. New incoming bees will check it out, and kill themselves.
This way your shed is protected.
