Bees - actually though they are a nuisance all bees serve a function. I
believe yellow jackets and wasps eat other predatory insects like
spiders and caterpillars. Sooooo if you don't have to kill them then
don't. Made the mistake of killing a large paper nest of "Bald" bees
(large black n white bees) only to find out they eat spiders and other
bees. If you want to kill them though, try tying a piece of chicken on a
string and hang it down in a bucket of soapy water. Hange the RAW
chicken so that it almost touches the water. When the bees try to fly
away they are full (heavy) and tend to drop as they take off. If they
touch the water the soap coats their wings and they drown. If they dont
drown then they will fly to the nest and bring back lots of buddies and
pretty soon you have a bee killing machine. Place the bucket somewhere
out of the way so you can work on the truck and as long as you don't
kick them over they wont bother u. Works well during mil club picknicks
too. K
