Honey Bee's, fine.

Sweat Bee's, (the photo above from pawoSD) I HATE.

We have had numerous problems with them building hives in the house.

One batch got in between the foundation and the sill plate. After I finally got them out, removing half a 5 gallon bucket of nest, I had to put a sheet metal piece to keep them out.

When we reroofed they used a ridge vent that looks like a giant brillo pad. They have eaten their way in to almost every edge, One nest I had to remove all the siding to get back to it. We could actually hear them from inside the house, in the cathedral ceiling.

Also years ago had a paper wasp nest hanging from a tree, just about eye level when sitting on the riding mower. How I didn't wack it with my head that day I'll never know, noticed it the next day.



OK to the ???

Most wasps, hornets etc I will do what I can to keep. IF the nest is not where we could come in contact with it / them to much. Most are very beneficial. Wasps eat other bugs, mostly the ones you don't want.

Bee's the same, very benefically.

The Sweat Bee's, or whatever they are called, are a pain because they come after you, climb in your drinks etc.
Ever take a swig of beer with a crunch, get rid of it quick.

IF the nest is in an area that causes to much interaction, the best thing I've found is to wait till after dark and just put a big garbage bag over it. close it up and your done.

If you want take it out to the forest and dump it quickly.
