It was a bit scary. I stuffed up the chimney and set off a bomb. I hated killing them but there was no way to get them out. Later I vacuumed them up. Needless to say I had the flue repaired. Not fun. Actually rats are worse.

My good friend had to call the insect guys in three times this year -- two wasp nests in her attic and a hornets nest under the eaves near her front door. She lives alone and could hear the wasps in the attic in the attic when she woke up in the morning. Scary!

You had a rogue queen bee trying to set up a new hive. A Bee Keeper would have been happy to capture her, take her with him to his hive site and then the other bees would have followed. I know this because, my father was a Beekeeper and I went with him many times to do this. He may have even been willing to keep you supplied with hone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
