[pct-l] re bees and other flying, stinging critters

[Paul Cronshaw]

Don, you are correct. Gasoline is dangerous AND toxic to the environment.
However, I would not recommend a garden variety pesticide. My bees are
already suffering too much from the cocktail of pesticides we humans have
applied to this planet.

To learn the variety of methods to exterminate ground bees (example yellow jackets):

Remember to contact a local beekeeper if you suspect honeybees.

The nest, if killed off, does not need to be dug out. The ants go in to have some chow and the nest simply 
disintegrates. But using gasoline is dangerous. Better to use a commercial pesticide found in your local
garden nursery.
