Bees in the outside rafters
Every springtime I notice a few bees buzzing around my back yard. I
notice that they nest in the outside rafters. I have hosed them down before to get rid of them. I don't know what kind they are. I thought they were yellowjackets. I bought yellowjacket traps and it did nothing..... until I changed the bait to tuna, then I caught a load of them. The next year I baited with tuna.... and I caught nothing. Doesn't make sense. During the winter naturally there is not problem. We had a false spring, a few hot days, and they were back in style. Now its raining again and they aren't in sight. I am hoping to deal with them early this year, since i know that they are coming. Any suggestions in how to deal with them? Or somewhere where I can tell what I have (bees, yellowjackets)? |
